Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Energy relating to "Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Miscellaneous Refrigeration Products".

H.J. Res. 176 is a resolution seeking to disapprove a Department of Energy rule that established new energy efficiency standards for miscellaneous refrigeration products, such as commercial refrigerators and freezers. The rule, published in the Federal Register on May 7, 2024, would have required manufacturers to meet specific energy conservation requirements for these products. If passed, this resolution would block the rule from taking effect, preventing the Department of Energy from enforcing these standards. It directly affects the manufacturers of covered refrigeration products and the Department of Energy's regulatory authority.
