This joint resolution seeks to exercise congressional authority under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, to disapprove a recent rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The targeted rule is the "National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Integrated Iron and Steel Manufacturing Facilities Technology Review: Interim Final Rule" , which was published in the Federal Register on July 3, 2025. The primary effect of this resolution, if passed by both chambers of Congress and signed into law, would be to invalidate the EPA's interim final rule. Consequently, the rule establishing new or revised emission standards for hazardous air pollutants from integrated iron and steel manufacturing facilities would have no legal force or effect, preventing its implementation.
