Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Decabromodiphenyl Ether and Phenol, Isopropylated Phosphate (3:1); Revision to the Regulation of Persistent, Bioaccumulative, and Toxic Chemicals Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)".
HJRES 46 is a congressional resolution seeking to block an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule that would regulate two specific chemicals - Decabromodiphenyl Ether and Phenol, Isopropylated Phosphate (3:1) - under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The resolution requests Congress disapprove the EPA’s rule (published in the Federal Register on November 19, 2024), which would have required new safety measures for these persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic chemicals. If approved, this disapproval resolution would prevent the EPA rule from taking effect, halting its implementation. The bill directly affects the EPA’s regulatory authority over these chemicals and the industries producing or using them.
