SJRES 93 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement relating to "Restoration of Names That Honor American Greatness; Gulf of America".

SJRES 93 is a joint resolution seeking to block a rule proposed by the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) that would have restored a name for the Gulf of America to honor "American Greatness." The rule, published in the Federal Register on September 15, 2025 (90 Fed. Reg. 44322), aimed to change the geographic designation of the Gulf of America under a specific naming policy. If enacted, this resolution would disapprove the rule under Chapter 8 of Title 5, U.S. Code, making it void and preventing the name change from taking effect. The bill directly affects the BSEE's proposed rule and the geographic naming of the Gulf of America.
