The U.S. House may take up a resolution of disapproval of the Waters of the U.S. rule this week. The National Pork Producers Council reported that the House may consider a resolution that was first introduced in the Senate by Iowa Republican Joni Ernst. The measure passed the Senate in November by a vote of 53-44. A federal appeals court temporarily halted implementation of the rule, which took effect last August. NPPC and other agricultural organizations in a lawsuit against the WOTUS rule filed in July alleged that EPA engaged in an advocacy campaign during the comment period, a violation of the federal Administrative Procedures Act. The House has voted multiple times to block the regulation.
