Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Air Plan Approval; Ohio; Withdrawal of Technical Amendment".

This measure would overturn an EPA rule that brought back Ohio’s “Air Nuisance Rule” (ANR) into the state’s clean air plan. The EPA said it had made a mistake years earlier when it let Ohio drop the ANR, so it issued a rule to reinstate it. This resolution would cancel that EPA rule, so the ANR would not be reinstated in Ohio’s plan . The measure is specifically about the EPA action called “Air Plan Approval; Ohio; Withdrawal of Technical Amendment” related to the Ohio plan .

In everyday terms, this is about whether Ohio keeps a general rule that can be used to address air nuisances like smoke, dust, or odors. If this resolution becomes law, the EPA’s move to bring back that rule would be undone, and the older approach—without the ANR—would remain in place in Ohio’s air plan .

• Key points:
  • Who is affected: Ohio residents, local communities, and businesses subject to state air rules .
  • What changes: It would nullify the EPA’s reinstatement of the Air Nuisance Rule in Ohio’s clean air plan, keeping the ANR out of the plan .
  • Why it matters: Without the ANR in the plan, state and local officials may have fewer broad tools to address complaints about air nuisances compared to having the ANR reinstated .
