Disapproves and nullifies a Department of Energy rule that set new certification, labeling, and enforcement requirements for certain consumer products and commercial equipment. The rule, published October 9, 2024, is declared to have no force or effect when this resolution is enacted. As a result, the regulatory requirements created by that DOE rule would not apply; affected manufacturers, test labs, retailers, and enforcement programs would not be bound by the rule’s new certification, labeling, or enforcement provisions while the disapproval remains in effect.
Official title: Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Energy relating to "Energy Conservation Program for Appliance Standards: Certification Requirements, Labeling Requirements, and Enforcement Provisions for Certain Consumer Products and Commercial Equipment".
