Providing congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "California State Motor Vehicle Pollution Control Standards; Notice of Decision Granting a Waiver of Clean Air Act Preemption for California's 2009 and Subsequent Model Year Greenhouse Gas Emission Standards for New Motor Vehicles".

This joint resolution uses the Congressional Review Act to formally disapprove and void a specific 2009 rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The rule in question is the EPA's decision to grant California a waiver under the Clean Air Act, which permitted the state to enforce its own greenhouse gas emission standards for new motor vehicles for model year 2009 and subsequent years.

* **Environmental Protection Agency (EPA):** The agency responsible for issuing the waiver decision that this resolution targets. * **State of California and automobile market participants:** The resolution specifically targets the federal waiver that allowed California to set and enforce its state-specific greenhouse gas standards for new motor vehicles.

If passed into law, the resolution mandates that the EPA's 2009 decision granting California's Clean Air Act waiver will have no legal force or effect. This requirement prevents the rule from being applied or enforced under federal law.

The provided summary does not contain any details regarding direct spending, taxes, fees, appropriations, or federal funding.

The summary does not list any exceptions, conditions, or deadlines attached to this disapproval resolution.

This resolution would cancel the EPA decision that allowed California to enforce its own greenhouse gas emission limits on new cars and trucks for model years 2009 and beyond, stripping the federal waiver of all legal authority.
