EPA is amending the CFR to remove provisions from its 2024 rubber tire manufacturing air toxics rule after a joint resolution of disapproval was passed and signed.
Key Facts
- The Federal Register document was published June 22, 2026.
- EPA is removing provisions finalized in the 2024 rule titled National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Rubber Tire Manufacturing.
- Congress passed, and the President signed, a joint resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act.
- The 2024 Rubber Tire Rule had an effective date of November 29, 2024.
- The action affects the Code of Federal Regulations by removing the 2024 rule provisions.
What Happened
The EPA is amending the Code of Federal Regulations to remove provisions finalized in its 2024 final rule on National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for rubber tire manufacturing. The Federal Register notice says the change follows a Congressional Review Act joint resolution of disapproval that was passed by Congress and signed by the President.
The 2024 Rubber Tire Rule had an effective date of November 29, 2024. This 2026 action reverses those provisions at the federal regulatory level.
Why It Matters
For tire manufacturers and suppliers that track air toxics compliance, the practical effect is that the 2024 amendments are being removed from the CFR. That can change how facilities interpret current federal obligations tied to the rubber tire manufacturing NESHAP.
For buyers, lab managers, EHS teams, and plant operators, the key issue is regulatory alignment: compliance documents, monitoring plans, and internal procedures may need to be checked against the updated federal text rather than the revoked 2024 amendments.
Key Details
- Source: Federal Register
- Published date: June 22, 2026
- Action: EPA amendment to remove 2024 rubber tire manufacturing air toxics provisions
- Trigger: Congressional Review Act joint resolution of disapproval
- Prior rule effective date: November 29, 2024
The notice is specifically tied to the 2024 final rule, which the EPA titled National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Rubber Tire Manufacturing. The current action is framed as a revocation of those amendments rather than a new substantive emission standard.
What To Watch Next
Facilities should watch for the official CFR text and confirm whether any internal compliance references still point to the 2024 amendments. Procurement and EHS teams may also want to verify whether vendor specifications, emissions-control documentation, or audit checklists were built around the revoked rule.
Because the Federal Register page notes that the online version is an informational resource and the official PDF should be used for legal purposes, regulated entities should confirm the final language in the official publication before making compliance changes.
Alliance's Take
Teams supporting rubber tire manufacturing should reconcile current SOPs, permit files, and compliance calendars against the revised CFR text before treating the 2024 amendments as active requirements.
Procurement and EHS groups should also check whether monitoring, reporting, or control-system specifications were written to the revoked rule so contracts and audit materials stay aligned.
