About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · October 1, 2025
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.
This joint resolution uses Congress's power to reject federal regulations to disapprove an Environmental Protection Agency rule about temporary incinerators used during disaster recovery. The EPA rule, published in August 2025, sets standards for commercial and industrial solid waste incineration units, including temporary-use incinerators and air curtain incinerators deployed in disaster situations. If passed, this resolution would nullify the EPA rule entirely, preventing it from taking effect. The resolution was introduced by Senator Whitehouse in October 2025 and follows the Congressional Review Act process, which allows Congress to overturn agency regulations within a set timeframe. No specific funding is involved, as this is a disapproval measure rather than a spending or authorization bill.
