S.J.Res. 187

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 "Modification to the Start of the Submission Period for Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Reporting and Recordkeeping Under TSCA 8(a)(7)".

Environment and Public Works Committee · Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI)

The joint resolution seeks to overturn an Environmental Protection Agency rule that modified when companies must begin reporting and keeping records about certain harmful chemicals known as PFAS (forever chemicals). If passed, it would use congressional authority to disapprove and block the EPA's regulatory change.[AI-Generated]
