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 "Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards for the Steam Electric Power Generating Point Source Category-Deadline Extensions".

This joint resolution seeks to overturn a rule made by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that extended deadlines for limits on wastewater pollution from steam electric power plants. Congress has a process that allows it to reject federal agency rules, and this resolution would use that process to disapprove of the EPA's deadline extensions. No official summary is available for this bill.
