nservation standards for commercial refrigerators, freezers, and refrigerator-freezers. The resolution falls under chapter 8 of title 5 of the United States Code, which allows Congress to review and potentially overturn regulations proposed by federal agencies. The rule in question, proposed by the Department of Energy, seeks to establish energy conservation standards for commercial refrigeration equipment. These standards would impact the energy efficiency of commercial refrigerators, freezers, and refrigerator-freezers, with the goal of reducing energy consumption and promoting environmental sustainability. Supporters of the resolution argue that the proposed rule may impose unnecessary burdens on businesses and consumers, potentially leading to increased costs and reduced choices in the market for commercial refrigeration equipment. They believe that Congress should have the authority to review and reject regulations that could have negative economic impacts. Opponents of the resolution, on the other hand, argue that the energy conservation standards are necessary to address climate change and reduce energy consumption. They believe that the rule will help to promote energy efficiency and environmental sustainability, ultimately benefiting both businesses and consumers in the long run. Overall, Bill 119 SJRes 44 represents a debate over the balance between economic considerations and environmental concerns in the regulation of commercial refrigeration equipment. The resolution will be subject to further discussion and debate in Congress before a final decision is reached on whether to disapprove of the Department of Energy's proposed rule.

on of certain enlisted members of the Coast Guard who have served for 18 or more years but less than 20 years.
