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".
Summary
This law uses the Congressional Review Act to disapprove and nullify a specific Environmental Protection Agency regulation. The EPA had issued a rule that would have reclassified certain major sources of air pollution as area sources under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act. By passing this joint resolution, Congress rejected that reclassification rule, preventing it from taking effect.
