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 "Modification to the Start of the Submission Period for Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Reporting and Recordkeeping Under TSCA 8(a)(7)".
This joint resolution seeks to officially disapprove a specific rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency regarding PFAS chemical reporting. The bill directly affects the EPA by declaring the rule invalid and preventing it from taking legal effect. It aims to stop the agency from changing the timeline for when businesses must submit data about per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. If passed, the EPA would be unable to enforce the modified submission period outlined in the original regulation.
