This joint resolution formally disapproves a specific rule issued by the Department of Energy (DOE) under its energy conservation program. The rule in question established new energy conservation standards for walk-in coolers and walk-in freezers , as published in the Federal Register. By passing this resolution, Congress exercises its authority under Chapter 8 of Title 5, United States Code, commonly known as the Congressional Review Act. Consequently, the Department of Energy's rule regarding these energy standards is nullified, ensuring it will not take effect and will have no legal force.
