Congress Blocks EPA Rule on Phasing Down HFC Refrigerant Gases.

This resolution seeks to cancel a specific Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule concerning the phasedown and management of Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are common refrigerant gases. If passed, the EPA regulations designed to limit the use of these gases under the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act will be stopped. This action prevents stricter federal standards for cooling and refrigeration equipment from taking effect.
Key points
Disapproval of the EPA rule regulating the management and gradual reduction of HFC gases used in air conditioning and refrigeration.
The federal standards aimed at reducing these greenhouse gas emissions will not take effect, potentially impacting future equipment standards and environmental goals.
