This joint resolution aims to exercise congressional disapproval, under the authority of chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, over a specific rule promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency. The rule, titled "Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards for the Steam Electric Power Generating Point Source Category--Deadline Extensions; Correction," was published in the Federal Register on January 30, 2026. The primary objective of this resolution is to prevent the EPA's rule from having any legal effect. By passing this measure, Congress would effectively nullify the agency's action concerning industrial wastewater management. This legislative action targets regulations concerning wastewater discharge standards for steam electric power plants , specifically those related to extensions and corrections of existing guidelines. The resolution explicitly states that if approved by Congress, the EPA's rule "shall have no force or effect," thereby blocking its implementation.
