A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management relating to "Restoring Names That Honor American Greatness: Gulf of America".

This bill (SJRES 87) seeks congressional disapproval of a Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) rule that proposed renaming the "Gulf of Mexico" to the "Gulf of America." The rule, published in the Federal Register (90 Fed. Reg. 24066), would have changed the official name of the Gulf of Mexico under federal naming conventions. The resolution uses a standard procedural mechanism under Title 5, United States Code, to block the rule from taking effect. If approved, the rule would have no force or effect, preserving the current name "Gulf of Mexico."
