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 would use the Congressional Review Act to reject a 2009 Environmental Protection Agency decision. That decision granted California a waiver from federal Clean Air Act preemption. The waiver let California enforce its own greenhouse gas emission standards for new motor vehicles, starting with model year 2009. Under the resolution, the EPA decision, published at 74 Fed. Reg. 32744 on July 8, 2009, would have no force or effect.
