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 "National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Coke Ovens: Pushing, Quenching, and Battery Stacks, and Coke Oven Batteries; Residual Risk and Technology Review, and Periodic Technology Review."

This bill would block a rule made by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that sets limits on dangerous air pollution released by coke ovens, which are industrial equipment used in steelmaking. Congress has a process that allows it to overturn federal agency rules, and this bill uses that process to reject the EPA's pollution standards for coke oven operations. No official summary is available for this bill.
