President Donald Trump Friday signed into law four Congressional Review Act measures targeting conservation standards for appliances. 

These measures include H.J. Res. 20, which repeals conservation standards for gas-fired water heaters. Another measure, H.J. Res. 24, repeals conservation standards for walk-in freezers

A third measure, H.J. Res. 42, repeals a rule concerning the labeling of products for energy conservation standards, and a fourth resolution, H.J. 75, repeals rules dealing with energy conservation for commercial refrigerators, freezers or refrigerator-freezers. 

The Congressional Review Act allows Congress to block certain finalized federal regulations.
