Sec. 803. Special rule on statutory, regulatory, and judicial 
        deadlines
        
    (a) In the case of any deadline for, relating to, or involving any 
rule which does not take effect (or the effectiveness of which is 
terminated) because of enactment of a joint resolution under section 
802, that deadline is extended until the date 1 year after the date of 
enactment of the joint resolution. Nothing in this subsection shall be 
construed to affect a deadline merely by reason of the postponement of a 
rule's effective date under section 801(a).
    (b) The term ``deadline'' means any date certain for fulfilling any 
obligation or exercising any authority established by or under any 
Federal statute or regulation, or by or under any court order 
implementing any Federal statute or regulation.
