Congressional Review Act Revocation of 2024 Amendments to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Rubber Tire Manufacturing

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is amending the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to remove the provisions finalized by the EPA in a 2024 final rule titled ''National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Rubber Tire Manufacturing'' (''2024 Rubber Tire Rule'') (notified as G/TBT/N/USA/2073/Add.2). Under the Congressional Review Act (CRA), Congress passed, and the President signed, a joint resolution of disapproval of the 2024 Rubber Tire Rule. The 2024 Rubber Tire Rule promulgated first-time air emissions standards for the rubber processing subcategory of the rubber tire manufacturing source category. Under the joint resolution and by operation of the CRA, the 2024 Rubber Tire Rule has no legal force or effect, and the EPA thus is taking this final action to remove the provisions finalized in that rule. This final rule is effective 29 November 2024. 91 Federal Register (FR) 37274, 22 June 2026; Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 63: This action and previous actions notified under the symbol G/TBT/N/USA/2073 are identified by Docket Number EPA-HQ-OAR-2019-0392. The Docket Folder is available from Regulations.gov at and provides access to primary and supporting documents as well as comments received. Documents are also accessible from Regulations.gov by searching the Docket Number.

Proposed rule - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing amendments to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Rubber Tire Manufacturing, as required by the Clean Air Act (CAA). To ensure that all emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) from sources in the source category are regulated, the EPA is proposing emissions standards for the rubber processing subcategory of the rubber tire manufacturing industry, which is the only unregulated subcategory within the Rubber Tire Manufacturing source category.
