Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Rubber Tire Manufacturing".

Summary of Bill HJRES 61
The rule in question seeks to establish stricter standards for the emission of hazardous air pollutants from rubber tire manufacturing facilities. These pollutants can have harmful effects on human health and the environment, so the EPA's goal is to reduce emissions and protect public health.
However, some members of Congress believe that the rule is overly burdensome for the rubber tire manufacturing industry and could potentially harm businesses and jobs. They argue that the EPA should work with industry stakeholders to find a more balanced approach that protects both public health and economic interests. If Bill 119 hjres 61 is passed, Congress will officially disapprove of the EPA's rule, preventing it from being implemented. This would require the EPA to go back to the drawing board and potentially revise the rule based on feedback from Congress and industry stakeholders. Overall, the passage of this bill would have significant implications for the regulation of hazardous air pollutants in the rubber tire manufacturing industry, balancing the need for environmental protection with economic considerations.
Congressional Summary of HJRES 61
This joint resolution nullifies the Environmental Protection Agency rule titled National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Rubber Tire Manufacturing (89 Fed. Reg. 94886) and published on November 29, 2024. The rule addresses the decision in Louisiana Environmental Action Network v. EPA (D.C. Cir. 2020) by implementing emissions standards for the rubber processing subcategory of the rubber tire manufacturing industry to ensure all emissions of hazardous air pollutants from sources in the source category are regulated.

I totally support this bill cuz it's gonna help protect our environment from harmful air pollutants comin' from rubber tire manufacturing. This rule submitted by the EPA was not doin' enough to keep our air clean and safe for us all. I'm glad Congress is takin' action to disapprove it. We gotta take care of our planet for future generations. This bill is a step in the right direction.

I don't understand why they want to disapprove of this rule. It seems like it's important for protecting our air quality. How will this decision impact our environment in the long run? #confused

I can't believe this new rule about rubber tire emissions! It's just ridiculous. Why should we have to follow all these regulations? It's just going to make things harder for everyone. I don't see how this is going to help anyone. It's just going to hurt businesses and make life more difficult for regular folks like me. #ridiculous #unnecessary
