Providing congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "California State Motor Vehicle Pollution Control Standards; Notice of Decision Granting a Waiver of Clean Air Act Preemption for California's 2009 and Subsequent Model Year Greenhouse Gas Emission Standards for New Motor Vehicles".

Summary

The resolution uses the Congressional Review Act to disapprove the EPA rule that granted California a waiver from Clean Air Act preemption, allowing the state to enforce its own greenhouse‑gas emissions standards for new cars. It would affect California’s vehicle emissions program, auto manufacturers, and the EPA’s authority to issue such waivers. The move would keep federal emissions standards in place nationwide.
