Standard Summary
Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs
This joint resolution seeks congressional disapproval of an Environmental Protection Agency rule implementing hydrofluorocarbon phasedown requirements under the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act of 2020, which would nullify the regulation and halt EPA's authority to manage HFC production and consumption limits for climate mitigation purposes.
Key Points
- 1The resolution specifically targets the EPA rule published October 11, 2024, that establishes phased reduction schedules for hydrofluorocarbons classified as potent greenhouse gases under the AIM Act.
- 2Enactment would invalidate the regulatory framework requiring 85% HFC reduction over fifteen years and prevent EPA from enforcing production consumption quotas on affected industries.
- 3The disapproval mechanism utilizes the Congressional Review Act to overturn the rule with immediate effect, bypassing standard administrative procedure requirements for regulatory changes.
