A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "California State Nonroad Engine Pollution Control Standards; Small Off-Road Engines Regulations; Notice of Decision".

Cancel EPA small engine rule

If enacted, this resolution would disapprove the EPA rule on California small off‑road engine standards (90 Fed. Reg. 640) and state that the rule "shall have no force or effect." The change would take effect upon enactment. Manufacturers, importers, distributors, and sellers of small off‑road engines would no longer have to follow that federal rule. This would likely lower some compliance costs and equipment prices, but it would also remove the federal emissions controls the rule established and could weaken air quality protections.
