Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Updates to New Chemicals Regulations Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)".
HJRES 76 is a congressional resolution seeking to block an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule that updated regulations for reviewing new chemicals under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The bill targets the specific rule published in the Federal Register on December 18, 2024 (89 Fed. Reg. 102773), which would have modified how the EPA evaluates new chemical substances for safety. If passed, this resolution would use the statutory process under Chapter 8 of Title 5, U.S. Code, to formally disapprove the EPA rule, preventing it from taking effect. This resolution directly affects the EPA’s authority to regulate new chemical submissions and does not create new regulations itself.
