## Summary

**Fast-tracks House consideration of two Congressional Review Act disapproval resolutions.** It clears the floor for votes on a joint resolution targeting an Office of the Comptroller of the Currency rule about Bank Merger Act application reviews and a joint resolution targeting an Environmental Protection Agency rule that reclassifies some major air pollution sources as area sources under Clean Air Act section 112. The resolution waives points of order, treats each joint resolution as read, limits debate to one hour split between committee leaders, allows one motion to commit, and waives a timing rule to speed consideration of an associated reconciliation measure through May 23, 2025.
