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 "Review of Final Rule Reclassification of Major Sources as Area Sources Under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act".
AI Summary
This joint resolution is a congressional mechanism to invalidate a specific Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule concerning the reclassification of air pollution sources under the Clean Air Act. Specifically, the resolution targets a rule published in the Federal Register on September 10, 2024, which changes how industrial sources are categorized for regulatory purposes. Under this resolution, Congress formally disapproves the EPA's rule, which means the rule will be nullified and will have no legal force or effect. This process is enabled by Chapter 8 of Title 5 of the United States Code, which allows Congress to review and potentially reject certain federal agency regulations through a formal disapproval procedure. By passing this resolution, Congress is exercising its oversight authority to block the EPA's regulatory action, likely due to concerns about the potential environmental, economic, or administrative implications of the original rule's source reclassification approach.
