Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Lime Manufacturing Plants Technology Review".
HJRES 208 is a joint resolution seeking congressional disapproval of an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule that established new emission standards for hazardous air pollutants at lime manufacturing plants. The bill, if enacted, would stop the EPA's rule (published in the Federal Register on July 16, 2024) from taking effect by invoking the Congressional Review Act. This rule directly affects lime manufacturing facilities by requiring them to meet updated pollution control standards. The resolution uses a standard procedural mechanism to block the EPA rule without creating new regulations.
