What H.J.Res. 61 does
H.J.Res. 61 is now law and removes emission limits on hazardous air pollutants from the rubber processing part of the rubber tire manufacturing industry. It cancels an Environmental Protection Agency rule that set those standards.
The rule responded to a 2020 federal appeals court decision, Louisiana Environmental Action Network v. EPA, which requires the agency to address unregulated emissions from a major source category when it conducts its 8-year technology review.
