TITLE __--WITHDRAWAL OF CLEAN POWER PLAN

SEC. __01. FINDINGS.

Congress finds that--
(1) on October 23, 2015, the Administrator of the
Environmental Protection Agency (referred to in this title as
the ``Administrator'') published in the Federal Register
rules that are inextricably linked and collectively known as
the ``Clean Power Plan'', including--
(A) the final rule entitled ``Carbon Pollution Emission
Guidelines for Existing Stationary Sources: Electric Utility
Generating Units'' (80 Fed. Reg. 64662 (October 23, 2015));
(B) the final rule entitled ``Standards of Performance for
Greenhouse Gas Emissions from New, Modified, and
Reconstructed Stationary Sources: Electric Utility Generating
Units'' (80 Fed. Reg. 64510 (October 23, 2015)); and
(C) the proposed rule entitled ``Federal Plan Requirements
for Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Electric Utility Generating
Units Constructed on or Before January 8, 2014; Model Trading
Rules; Amendments to Framework Regulations'' (80 Fed. Reg.
64966 (October 23, 2015)); and
(2) the final rules described in subparagraphs (A) and (B)
of paragraph (1)--
(A) materially depart from the proposed versions of those
final rules and are not logical outgrowths of the proposed
versions; and
(B) are legally deficient because the Administrator did not
allow for adequate notice and opportunity for comment on the
proposed rules that preceded those final rules.

SEC. __02. WITHDRAWAL OF CLEAN POWER PLAN.

The Administrator shall--
(1) withdraw each of the rules described in section
__01(1); and
(2) reissue any of those rules only as a new proposed rule
with a new notice and comment period.
