Bill Summary
A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Waste Emissions Charge for Petroleum and Natural Gas Systems: Procedures for Facilitating Compliance, Including Netting and Exemptions".
AI Summary
This joint resolution is a congressional mechanism to invalidate a specific rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding waste emissions charges for petroleum and natural gas systems. Specifically, the resolution targets a rule published in the Federal Register on November 18, 2024, which established procedures for facilitating compliance with emissions regulations, including provisions for netting (a method of calculating overall emissions) and certain exemptions. By passing this resolution, Congress would effectively nullify the EPA rule, preventing it from being implemented or enforced. This type of action is authorized under Chapter 8 of Title 5 of the United States Code, which allows Congress to review and potentially overturn federal agency regulations through a formal disapproval process. The resolution declares that the EPA rule "shall have no force or effect," meaning the regulatory requirements would be cancelled if the resolution is successfully passed by both chambers of Congress and signed into law.
