This joint resolution nullifies the Environmental Protection Agency rule relating to Federal "Good Neighbor Plan" for the 2015 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (88 Fed. Reg. 36654) and published on June 5, 2023. The rule ensures that 23 states meet "Good Neighbor" standards required by the Clean Air Act by reducing pollution that significantly contributes to problems attaining and maintaining health-based air quality standards for ground-level ozone in downwind states.

Bill 118 hjres 69 is a piece of legislation that aims to disapprove of a rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding the "Federal 'Good Neighbor Plan' for the 2015 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards." The rule in question is part of Chapter 8 of Title 5 of the United States Code.

The purpose of the rule is to address the issue of ozone pollution and its impact on air quality standards. The EPA's "Good Neighbor Plan" is designed to ensure that states are taking necessary steps to reduce ozone pollution that crosses state lines and affects neighboring states.

However, some members of Congress believe that the rule is overly burdensome and could have negative economic impacts on certain industries. They argue that the EPA's regulations are too strict and could hinder economic growth in certain regions. As a result, Bill 118 hjres 69 seeks to disapprove of the EPA's rule and prevent it from being implemented. This bill is currently being debated in Congress, with supporters and opponents arguing over the potential consequences of the rule and its impact on air quality standards and economic growth.
