Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to the "California State Nonroad Engine Pollution Control Standards; Commercial Harbor Craft Regulations; Notice of Decision".

This joint resolution cancels the EPA's decision to let California's Air Resources Board update its rules for commercial harbor craft, which are boats used for work in harbors and waterways. The updated California rules would have set new pollution limits and deadlines for different types of boats and engines and would have covered more kinds of vessels, including commercial fishing boats. Under current law, the EPA can allow California to set its own emission rules for certain engines, but this resolution would take back that permission for these specific harbor craft regulations.
