Plain-English Summary

Congress is considering blocking an EPA rule that rejected Colorado's plan for reducing air pollution haze in the state during a specific time period. If approved, this resolution would overturn the EPA's disapproval and allow Colorado to proceed with its own approach to meeting regional haze standards. The decision affects Colorado's air quality regulations and how the state manages pollution from industrial sources and other contributors to haze.
