Summary

Nullifies an Environmental Protection Agency rule that revised New Source Performance Standards for volatile organic liquid storage vessels (including petroleum tanks) published Oct 15, 2024; the rule is declared to have no force or effect. If enacted, the resolution removes the federal regulatory requirements in that EPA rule and prevents that specific rule from taking effect.

• Nullifies the EPA's October 15, 2024 rule on New Source Performance Standards for volatile organic liquid storage vessels.
• Says the named federal regulation "shall have no force or effect," removing its obligations for regulated facilities.
• Directly affects owners/operators of aboveground storage tanks for VOCs and petroleum, plus related petroleum industry firms.
• Removes federal compliance requirements in that rule but does not prevent states from adopting their own standards.
• Likely reduces near-term compliance costs for affected industry but delays federal VOC emissions controls that the rule would have required.
• May prompt administrative follow-up by EPA, state rulemaking, or legal challenges from interested parties.
• Takes effect upon enactment of the resolution.
