Bill Summary
A BILL To nullify the final rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to ‘‘New Source Performance Standards for Greenhouse Gas Emissions From New, Modified, and Reconstructed Fossil Fuel-Fired Electric Generating Units; Emission Guidelines for Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Existing Fossil Fuel-Fired Electric Generating Units; and Repeal of the Affordable Clean Energy Rule’’.
AI Summary
This bill aims to nullify a specific Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) final rule related to greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel-fired electric generating units. The rule, published on May 9, 2024, covers performance standards and emission guidelines for new, modified, and reconstructed power plants, as well as repeals a previous rule known as the Affordable Clean Energy Rule. By declaring that the EPA's rule "shall have no force or effect," the bill effectively invalidates the regulatory standards that would have governed emissions from power generation facilities. This legislative action would prevent the implementation of the EPA's proposed emissions regulations, potentially preserving more flexible or less restrictive environmental standards for power plants. The bill represents a direct congressional intervention to block a federal agency's regulatory approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity generation sector.
