Disapprove EPA National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants:…
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.
This joint resolution uses the Congressional Review Act process to disapprove and nullify the Environmental Protection Agency rule titled "National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Rubber Tire Manufacturing" (89 Fed. Reg. 94886, Nov. 29, 2024).
Public health/environmental protection versus regulatory burden on industry
Narrow deregulatory text tends to pass lower chamber more easily if majority aligned; still politically polarized.
This joint resolution uses the Congressional Review Act process to disapprove and nullify the Environmental Protection Agency rule titled "National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Rubber Tire Manufacturing" (89 Fed.
Reg. 94886, Nov. 29, 2024).
If enacted, the resolution would render that EPA rule without force or effect and block implementation as provided under the CRA framework.
Narrow and administratively simple but politically charged; needs both chambers and executive approval, raising overall difficulty.

Why the argument around this bill splits.
Public health/environmental protection versus regulatory burden on industry
Likely strongly opposed.
They would view the resolution as an attempt to strip public-health and air pollution safeguards for workers and nearby communities.
They would argue the EPA rule addresses toxic emissions from tire manufacturing and that nullifying it risks increased pollution.
Mixed to somewhat skeptical.
They would weigh environmental benefits of the EPA standard against compliance costs and regulatory process concerns.
They may prefer revising the rule or ordering a transparent cost-benefit reassessment rather than an outright nullification via CRA.
Likely broadly supportive.
They would view the resolution as correcting regulatory overreach, protecting manufacturers from costly mandates, and reasserting congressional control over significant agency rules.
They may argue the EPA rule imposes burdens without proportional benefit.
