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 "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 cancel a 2009 Environmental Protection Agency decision. That decision granted California a waiver from federal Clean Air Act preemption, which allowed the state to set its own greenhouse gas emission standards for new motor vehicles starting with model year 2009. Under the resolution, Congress disapproves the EPA decision, and the decision would have no force or effect.
