The Environmental Protection Agency finalized a rule in November 2024 setting new limits on hazardous air pollution from rubber tire manufacturing plants. This joint resolution cancels that rule under a law called the Congressional Review Act, meaning the emission limits will no longer apply and have no legal effect. Companies that manufacture rubber tires would no longer have to meet the pollution-control standards the EPA had set for their facilities. Communities living near rubber tire manufacturing plants are the ones most directly affected by whether these hazardous air pollutant limits stay in place.
Environmental Concerns
- EPA hazardous air pollutant standard — Nullified for rubber tire manufacturing facilities
Congressional Summary
This joint resolution removes emission regulations on hazardous air pollutants under the rubber tire manufacturing source category, specifically from the rubber processing subcategory. The joint resolution nullifies the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule titled National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Rubber Tire Manufacturing, which addresses the decision in Louisiana Environmental Action Network v. EPA (D.C. Cir. 2020) that requires the EPA to address unregulated emissions from a major source category when it conducts the 8-year technology review. The rule implemented emissions standards for the rubber processing subcategory.
