HJRES 183 United States House · 118th Congress

Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy of the Department of Energy relating to "Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Circulator Pumps".

This resolution blocks a U.S. Department of Energy rule that set new energy efficiency standards for circulator pumps used in heating and cooling systems. It directs Congress to disapprove the rule (published in the Federal Register on May 20, 2024), making it void. The bill directly affects manufacturers of circulator pumps by preventing the implementation of these new energy conservation requirements. The mechanism uses a statutory process under Title 5 of the U.S. Code for congressional disapproval of agency rules. This is a procedural resolution, not a new law.
