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 "New Source Performance Standards for the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry and Group I & II Polymers and Resins Industry."
This joint resolution (SJRES 100) seeks to block an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule that sets new air pollution standards for specific chemical manufacturing industries. It directly targets the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry and Group I & II Polymers and Resins Industry by requesting Congress disapprove the EPA's rule published in the Federal Register (89 Fed. Reg. 42932, May 16, 2024). The resolution uses a statutory process (under chapter 8 of title 5, U.S. Code) to formally reject the rule, which would prevent it from taking effect. If passed, the EPA rule establishing emission limits for hazardous air pollutants and new source performance standards would have no legal force. This is a procedural disapproval effort, not a new environmental policy.
