Fedorchak supports three CRAs to overturn Biden administration’s extreme energy and manufacturing regulations
Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak (R-ND) joined House Republicans this week in passing three Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolutions to reverse the Biden administration’s overreaching regulations that threaten American energy production, manufacturing, and consumer choice.
“These rules are yet another example of the Biden administration putting radical climate ideology ahead of American energy security, manufacturing jobs, and families trying to make ends meet,” Fedorchak said. “I voted to reverse this regulatory overreach and help lower costs, protect American jobs, and make sure our energy producers can power our country without unnecessary red tape.”
The three CRA resolutions passed by the House include:
H.J. Res. 61, to overturn the Biden Environmental Protection Agency’s amendments to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for rubber tire manufacturing. These changes impose significant financial burdens on manufacturers, threaten jobs, and provide negligible environmental benefits.
H.J. Res. 42, to reverse the Biden Department of Energy’s expanded certification and labeling requirements for household appliances, which increase compliance costs for manufacturers, slow product availability, and limit consumer choice.
S.J. Res. 11, to block the Biden administration’s rule requiring oil and gas operators to submit archaeological reports for certain exploration or development activities on the Outer Continental Shelf to protect archeological resources like shipwrecks and so-called “cultural resources.” This is a burdensome requirement that hinders domestic energy production and weakens American energy independence.
House Republicans remain committed to reining in excessive regulations that stifle economic growth, increase costs for families, and undermine America’s energy security. H.J. Res. 61 and H.J. Res. 42 will head to the Senate for consideration, and S.J. Res. 11 now heads to the White House to be signed into law.
