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 "Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards for the Steam Electric Power Generating Point Source Category-Deadline Extensions".

This joint resolution (S.J. Res. 106) seeks to block an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule that extended deadlines for steam electric power plants to meet wastewater discharge standards. The EPA rule, published in the Federal Register on December 31, 2025, would have allowed these plants more time to comply with existing effluent limitations. If enacted, the resolution would nullify the EPA rule, requiring plants to meet the original deadlines instead. This directly affects steam electric power generating facilities subject to the EPA's wastewater regulations.
