50-second read · 4 questions answered below
Congress used the Congressional Review Act to cancel an EPA rule issued in November 2024 that set stricter limits on hazardous air pollutants from rubber tire manufacturing plants. The resolution was signed into law on May 23, 2025. No new rules were created; emissions standards reverted to what they were before the November 2024 update.
Rubber tire factories across the United States are directly affected, as they no longer must meet the stricter emission standards or make the equipment and operational changes the rule required. People living near those factories and workers inside them may also be affected.
Because the stricter limits are canceled, hazardous air pollutants from rubber tire plants will not be held to the higher standard the EPA had set. Residents near those facilities and workers inside them will not receive the protections the 2024 rule was designed to provide, including reduced workplace exposure to harmful chemicals.
