The Administrative Rule Making Reform Act, sponsored by Rep. Levitas in the 94th Congress, provides for the congressional veto of administrative rules and regulations; while not, enacted, the act had strong support. Because of this support, on ten separate occasions, Congressional veto provisions were adopted on the House floor for various pieces of regulatory legislation in the form of the so-called Levitas amendment, so routine that they were often adopted in the House of Representatives by voice vote. The pieces of regulatory legislation that were amended to provide for Congressional veto included: Environmental Protection Agency Authorization Act; Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments; Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act Extension; Toxic Substances Control Act; and Clean Air Act Amendments.
