Providing for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 42) 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 for Appliance Standards: Certification Requirements, Labeling Requirements, and Enforcement Provisions for Certain Consumer Products and Commercial Equipment"; providing for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 61) providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Rubber Tire Manufacturing"; and providing for consideration of the joint resolution (S.J. Res. 11) providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management relating to "Protection of Marine Archaeological Resources".
HRES 177 is a procedural resolution that sets the rules for the House to consider three separate disapproval resolutions. It enables debate and voting on H.J. Res. 42 (to disapprove a Department of Energy appliance energy efficiency rule), H.J. Res. 61 (to disapprove an EPA rule on tire manufacturing emissions), and S.J. Res. 11 (to disapprove a Bureau of Ocean Energy Management rule protecting marine archaeological resources). The resolution waives most procedural objections and limits debate to one hour per disapproval measure. It does not change any regulations itself but provides the process for Congress to potentially reject them.
