This joint resolution seeks to invoke congressional authority under Chapter 8 of Title 5, United States Code, to disapprove a specific administrative rule issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) . The rule in question pertains to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards , specifically addressing the fuel system integrity of hydrogen vehicles and the integrity of their compressed hydrogen storage systems , including provisions for incorporation by reference. If enacted, this resolution would effectively nullify the identified NHTSA rule, which was published in the Federal Register on January 17, 2025. Consequently, the rule would be rendered without any legal force or effect, preventing its implementation.
