Congress Blocks EPA Hazardous Air Pollution Standards for Tire Manufacturing.

This resolution aims to cancel a rule established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) concerning new, stricter national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants from rubber tire manufacturing facilities. If Congress approves this resolution, the original air protection standards will not take effect. This means tire factories will not be required to implement the stricter environmental controls, potentially affecting air quality near these plants.
Key points
The cancellation of new federal standards regulating hazardous air pollutant emissions from tire manufacturing plants.
Existing air quality requirements near tire production facilities remain unchanged, as the stricter EPA rule is blocked.
