This measure seeks to block an Environmental Protection Agency rule about how certain industrial sites are labeled under the Clean Air Act.

What this means: If passed, the EPA’s rule would not take effect. The rule deals with when a facility is treated as a “major source” versus an “area source” for hazardous air pollutants under Section 112, which can affect how strictly a facility is controlled for pollution .

Key point	What it does
Who is affected	Facilities regulated for hazardous air pollutants under Clean Air Act Section 112, and communities near them
What changes	Congress would overturn the EPA’s reclassification rule, stopping it from taking effect
Why it matters	How a site is classified can influence the level of pollution controls it must follow
