US EditionA resolution to roll back rubber tire manufacturing emissions rules heads to Trump's desk
- Congress voted in March and May 2025 to repeal an EPA rule finalized in November 2024 that regulated emissions from U.S. Rubber tire manufacturing processes.
- The rule resulted from a court order requiring EPA to control previously unregulated hazardous air pollutants under the Clean Air Act from rubber processing and other industries.
- Republican lawmakers including Morgan Griffith, Tim Scott, and Roger Wicker introduced a Congressional Review Act resolution to undo the rule, arguing it imposed costly equipment mandates that could harm manufacturing jobs.
- Griffith criticized the rule for relying on doubtful emissions information and claimed it offered minimal health advantages, while the U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association welcomed the repeal, saying it lessens the financial strain on tire manufacturing plants.
- Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse condemned the repeal as undermining public health protections, especially for children vulnerable to pollutants, signaling continued debate over environmental and economic priorities.
