This resolution would block a recent Environmental Protection Agency rule that sets air pollution limits for rubber tire manufacturing. If Congress approves it, the EPA rule would be canceled and would no longer have any legal effect. In simple terms, the resolution is an effort to stop new federal pollution requirements for tire factories from taking effect.
- It uses a special congressional review process to reject the EPA rule on hazardous air pollutants from rubber tire manufacturing.
- The rule being blocked was published on November 29, 2024.
- If the resolution becomes law, the EPA rule would be treated as if it never took effect.
Official Summaries
This joint resolution nullifies the Environmental Protection Agency rule titled National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Rubber Tire Manufacturing (89 Fed. Reg. 94886) and published on November 29, 2024. The rule addresses the decision in Louisiana Environmental Action Network v. EPA (D.C. Cir. 2020) by implementing emissions standards for the rubber processing subcategory of the rubber tire manufacturing industry to ensure all emissions of hazardous air pollutants from sources in the source category are regulated.
