The resolution, introduced by Senator Whitehouse, seeks to disapprove the Environmental Protection Agency 's rule on commercial and industrial solid waste incineration units, specifically temporary-use incinerators and air curtain incinerators used in disaster recovery. Under chapter 8 of title 5 of the U.S. Code, Congress declares the rule has no force or effect. The resolution was read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works. It reflects congressional concern that the rule may impose unnecessary regulatory burdens on disaster recovery efforts. By disapproving the rule, Congress removes the EPA's authority to enforce it.
