•      "Tire manufacturing facilities have long understood and complied with the existing National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) standards to reduce hazardous air pollutant emissions from rubber mixers. However, the agency’s revised final NESHAP rule actually creates an adverse environmental impact, while imposing significant financial burdens on tire manufacturing facilities and providing negligible, if any, benefits. While we continue to work with the EPA, we urge Congress to take action to undo this final rule in order to limit the deleterious effects on the U.S. tire manufacturing industry, the U.S. economy, and the environment."

•      "As Chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Environment, a key focus of mine is to get the EPA back to a compliance-focused regulatory regime. In the waning days of the Biden Administration, scores of ill-advised, unreasonable regulations were issued to overburden American industry. Rubber tire manufacturers already comply with stringent air emission rules. I am introducing this CRA resolution to roll back a last-minute Biden EPA regulation that was based on questionable data and imposes onerous one-size-fits-all pollution controls. I am glad to join this legislative fight with strong leaders like Senators Tim Scott and Roger Wicker." Source: Rep. Griffith, the sponsor of this joint-resolution
