Dossier Legislative introduced 19-nov-2024
Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Energy relating to “Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Commercial Water Heating Equipment”.

Key claim: A House joint resolution would overturn the Department of Energy’s energy efficiency standards for commercial water heating equipment using the Congressional Review Act.

Abstract

(HJRES218 · 118th Congress) Latest action (2024-11-12): Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Why this matters

The resolution targets efficiency requirements that affect commercial water-heater manufacturers and purchasers, with potential implications for equipment compliance costs, operating energy use, and associated emissions. It is only introduced, so it has not itself changed the standards, and the finding provides no quantified cost, energy, or environmental estimates.

Briefing card

Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Waste Emissions Charge for Petroleum and Natural Gas Systems: Procedures for Facilitating Compliance, Including Netting and Exemptions".
Stage: introduced · congress · 19-nov-2024

If you operate a petroleum or natural gas facility covered by the Waste Emissions Charge, introduction of H.J.Res. 223 alone does not change your compliance obligations.

House Joint Resolution 223 would nullify the EPA's final rule implementing the Waste Emissions Charge and related compliance exemptions for petroleum and natural gas facilities.
