Providing for consideration of the joint resolution (S.J. Res. 13) providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency of the Department of the Treasury relating to the review of applications under the Bank Merger Act; providing for consideration of the joint resolution (S.J. Res. 31) providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Review of Final Rule Reclassification of Major Sources as Area Sources Under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act"; and waiving a requirement of clause 6(a) of rule XIII with respect to consideration of certain resolutions reported from the Committee on Rules.
HRES 426 is a procedural resolution that allows the House to vote on two separate disapproval resolutions. It sets up consideration for S.J. Res. 13, which would reverse a Treasury rule affecting bank merger reviews, and S.J. Res. 31, which would reverse an EPA rule changing how pollution sources are regulated under the Clean Air Act. The resolution waives normal procedural hurdles to expedite these votes. It does not change policy but enables Congress to potentially block these specific federal rules. The affected parties would include financial institutions (for the bank rule) and industrial facilities subject to EPA regulations (for the Clean Air Act rule).
