the Environmental Protection Agency and the Secretary of the
Army entitled ``Clean Water Rule: Definition of `Waters of
the United States' '' (80 Fed. Reg. 37054 (June 29, 2015)) is
repealed, and, until such time as the Administrator and the

and such new rule is in effect, any regulation or policy
revised under, or otherwise affected as a result of, the rule
repealed by this section shall be applied as if that repealed
rule had not been issued.
