Congress has overruled Biden-era rules aimed at reducing emissions from the rubber tire manufacturing sector, citing it as unnecessary and ineffective. Introduced by Republican legislators like Morgan Griffith, the resolution advanced through quick legislative processes. Criticisms arose over the emissions data used and the perceived lack of health benefits. The initial rules stemmed from a court requirement for the EPA to manage previously unregulated emissions, highlighting ongoing debates about environmental regulation and public health impacts.
The Environmental Protection Agency finalized rules for the rubber tire industry, specifically previously unregulated rubber processing, last November through amendments to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants.
The rubber rule resulted from a court decision that required the EPA to address unregulated emissions from source categories upon the agency's technology reviews as required by the Clean Air Act.
