This joint resolution nullifies the Environmental Protection Agency rule relating to Control of Air Pollution From New Motor Vehicles: Heavy-Duty Engine and Vehicle Standards (88 Fed. Reg. 4296) and published on January 24, 2023. The rule modifies emission standards to reduce air pollution, including ozone and particulate matter, from heavy-duty engines and vehicles.

Bill 118 hjres 53, also known as the "Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to 'Control of Air Pollution From New Motor Vehicles: Heavy-Duty Engine and Vehicle Standards'", is a piece of legislation that seeks to overturn a rule proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding the control of air pollution from new motor vehicles, specifically heavy-duty engines and vehicles.

The rule in question aims to establish new standards for controlling air pollution emissions from heavy-duty engines and vehicles, with the goal of reducing harmful pollutants that contribute to air pollution and negatively impact public health and the environment. The EPA believes that these new standards are necessary to address the growing concerns surrounding air quality and the impact of vehicle emissions on the environment.

However, some members of Congress have expressed opposition to the rule, arguing that it imposes unnecessary regulations on the automotive industry and could potentially harm economic growth and job creation. As a result, Bill 118 hjres 53 seeks to disapprove of the EPA's rule under the Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress to overturn federal regulations within a certain timeframe. It is important to note that the summary provided here is a factual and non-partisan overview of the legislation, focusing on the key points and implications of Bill 118 hjres 53. Further analysis and discussion of the potential impacts of this legislation on air quality, the automotive industry, and the economy would be necessary to fully understand the implications of this bill.
