 To nullify certain regulations regarding the removal of essential-use 
   designation for epinephrine used in oral pressurized metered-dose 
                               inhalers.

United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Freedom to Breathe Act of 2011''.

SEC. 2. NULLIFICATION OF FINAL RULE; PROHIBITION.

    (a) Nullification of Final Rule.--As of the date of enactment of 
this Act, the final rule entitled ``Use of Ozone-Depleting Substances; 
Removal of Essential-Use Designation (Epinephrine)'' (73 Fed. Reg. 
69532 (November 19, 2008)) shall have no force or effect.
    (b) Prohibition on Future Regulations.--In no case may the 
Secretary of Health and Human Services reissue the final rule described 
in subsection (a) in substantially the same form, or issue a new rule 
that prohibits the production and distribution of oral pressurized 
metered-dose inhalers because such inhalers may emit 
chlorofluorocarbons or other green house gas emissions, unless the 
reissued or new rule is specifically authorized by a law enacted after 
the date of enactment of this Act.
