Bill Summary
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 resolution is a congressional action to formally reject a specific Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule regarding the classification of air pollution sources under the Clean Air Act. Specifically, the resolution disapproves the EPA's final rule that would reclassify certain "major sources" of air pollution as "area sources" under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act. The rule in question was published in the Federal Register on September 10, 2024, and by passing this resolution, Congress would nullify the EPA's rule, effectively preventing it from having any legal standing or force. This type of action is provided for 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.
