No, it doesn't require a congressional review, but that doesn't stop congressional committees from holding hearings and pressuring the agencies who do have to give approval. One of congresses favorite ploys is to hold the hearings and threaten agency funding or make agency funding contingent on a certain result. Happens daily.
