This joint resolution, enacted June 20, 2025, says Congress disapproves the Environmental Protection Agency rule titled "Review of Final Rule Reclassification of Major Sources as Area Sources Under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act" (89 Fed. Reg. 73293, Sept. 10, 2024). The resolution states that the rule "shall have no force or effect." The resolution originated in the Senate and lists sponsors John Curtis, Shelley Capito, Kevin Cramer, Cynthia Lummis, Dan Sullivan, and John Hoeven.
The resolution removes the legal effect of the EPA rule that reclassified certain sources under Clean Air Act section 112. If you operate or manage facilities that would be affected by a reclassification from a "major source" to an "area source," this resolution means that reclassification has been nullified.
