Subject: Further Expanding the Government's Abuse of the Endangered Species List
Description: This Congressional Review Act resolution sponsored by Sen. Marshall (R-KS) nullifies a rule created by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service titled "Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Lesser Prairie-Chicken; Threatened Status with Section 4(d) Rule for the Northern Distinct Population Segment and Endangered Status for the Southern Distinct Population Status". The rule places the Lesser Prairie-Chicken on the endangered species list and extends various protections to it. CPAC recognizes that the endangered species list has been used by left-wing environmental radicals to stop economic development. In the case of the Lesser Prairie-Chicken, its "endangerment" has helped bolster opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline, a project particularly hated by the environmental left. CPAC opposes the abuse of the endangered species list in this way and supported this resolution.
Result: Veto Sustained, 47-46
