A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Federal 'Good Neighbor Plan' for the 2015 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards".

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 SJRes 31 is a joint resolution that seeks 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 aims to address air quality standards set in 2015 for ozone levels, which can have harmful effects on public health and the environment.

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. In this case, Congress is seeking to disapprove of the EPA's rule, indicating that they believe it may not be in the best interest of the public or may not align with congressional priorities.

The resolution is non-partisan in nature, as it does not align with any specific political party. Instead, it focuses on the potential impacts of the EPA's rule on air quality standards and public health. By providing a detailed summary of the rule and its implications, the resolution aims to inform Congress and the public about the potential consequences of the EPA's actions. Overall, Bill 118 SJRes 31 highlights the importance of congressional oversight in ensuring that federal regulations are in the best interest of the American people. It serves as a reminder of the checks and balances in place to hold federal agencies accountable for their actions and decisions.
