Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "California State Nonroad Engine Pollution Control Standards; Ocean-Going Vessels At-Berth; Notice of Decision".

This joint resolution uses the Congressional Review Act to officially disapprove and cancel a specific Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) decision. That decision approved pollution control standards set by the state of California for ocean-going vessels while they are docked at port ("at-berth").

* **Environmental Protection Agency (EPA):** The agency is required to treat its specified decision as having no legal effect. * **Maritime Industry and State Regulators:** Ocean-going vessel operators and California state environmental authorities who fall under the specified EPA rule.

* The EPA rule titled *"California State Nonroad Engine Pollution Control Standards; Ocean-Going Vessels At-Berth; Notice of Decision"* (published October 20, 2023) would be nullified. * The EPA would be legally required to strip the decision of all force or effect, meaning it could no longer be enforced under federal law.

The provided summary does not mention any taxes, fees, government spending, or appropriations.

* The bill applies strictly to the single specified EPA rule published on October 20, 2023 (88 Fed. Reg. 72461). * The summary does not specify any exceptions or additional regulatory guidance beyond cancelling this rule.

If passed, this bill would completely overturn an October 2023 EPA decision regarding California's pollution rules for ocean-going ships docked at ports, preventing the rule from having any legal power.
