EPA said it transmitted two California waiver rules to Congress under the CRA, including the Commercial Harbor Craft Amendments. The release describes transmittal as giving Congress an opportunity to review; it does not report a CRA disapproval resolution being enacted for harbor craft.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Latest concrete official action found: EPA sent the harbor-craft authorization to Congress for possible CRA review, but this is only a prerequisite step and does not overturn the waiver.

EPA provided notice that it partially granted CARB authorization for the 2022 Commercial Harbor Craft Amendments under Clean Air Act section 209(e)(2)(A). The notice says the amendments apply to engines on most harbor craft operating in California and include zero-emission and advanced-technology requirements for ferries and excursion vessels.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The underlying California harbor-craft authorization exists and remains the object of the promised CRA reversal; no official evidence found in the lookback window showed the authorization had been nullified by an enacted CRA resolution.

The promised outcome was specifically to overturn California's commercial harbor craft authorization through an enacted Congressional Review Act disapproval resolution. The available record shows EPA transmitted the waiver rule to Congress for CRA review in July 2026, which is only a prerequisite to congressional action. There is no evidence that a harbor-craft CRA disapproval resolution has passed both chambers and been signed or otherwise enacted, so the waiver has not been overturned. Because the candidate is still in the relevant federal term and the CRA process was recently opened, the promise is best treated as unresolved rather than failed.
