Read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.
This measure would overturn an Environmental Protection Agency rule about hazardous air pollution standards for integrated iron and steel manufacturing. It targets the EPA’s “technology review” interim final rule for these facilities. In plain terms, Congress is moving to block that specific pollution rule from taking effect or staying in place .
If it becomes law, the EPA’s rule would not apply. That could change what pollution controls these steel plants must follow, which may affect air quality near those facilities and the health of people who live nearby .
