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".
This joint resolution removes emission regulations on hazardous air pollutants under the rubber tire manufacturing source category, specifically from the rubber processing subcategory. The joint resolution nullifies the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule titled National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Rubber Tire Manufacturing, which addresses the decision in Louisiana Environmental Action Network v. EPA (D.C. Cir. 2020) that requires the EPA to address unregulated emissions from a major source category when it conducts the 8-year technology review. The rule implemented emissions standards for the rubber processing subcategory.

What Congress Said
Members who spoke about this bill on the floor, in their own words from the Congressional Record.
Republicans20 spoke
For the purpose of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Neguse), pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. During consideration of this resolution, all time yielded is for the purpose of debate only.
I rise today in strong support of my bill, H.J. Res. 61, a resolution 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.''
I rise today to honor Military Appreciation Month. It is a time to renew our commitment--our Nation's commitment, our individual commitment--to those who defend our Nation. They defend our freedom. They have done it in the past, they are doing it today, and they will continue to do it into the future.
As I said on the floor yesterday, when I meet with South Dakota business owners, I often tell them to let me know how we can help, even if that means getting out of the way, because that is often what the government needs to do: get out of the way.
For decades, I, too, have worked to support the needs of young people who experience the foster care system. I found that, to get a meaningful understanding of what the needs are, young people who experience foster care ought to have the chance to inform us.
I rise in support of H.J. Res. 61 because it is common sense. The Biden administration decided to put these additional regulations on tire manufacturers. The inevitable consequence of that, of course, is increasing the cost of tires for the American people.
I rise in support today for two strong nominees: Luke Pettit and Marcus Molinaro, who were moved out of the Banking Committee with broad bipartisan support.
I rise to discuss my support for H.J. Res. 61, a joint resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act to repeal the Environmental Protection Agency's misguided National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, NESHAP, for Rubber Tire Manufacturing.
I rise today in strong support of H.J. Res. 61 to repeal yet another burdensome regulation from the Biden administration that threatens American jobs and manufacturing, some of those in my district. Although it may only be a few that are recognized, one of those is in my district.
I rise in strong support of H.J. Res. 61, which would repeal the Biden-Harris EPA's rule amending National Emission Standards on the domestic rubber tire manufacturing industry.
I was in my office for a meeting and the roll was closed sooner than normal and I didn't get to cast my vote. Had I been present, I would have voted YEA on Roll Call No. 58.
I missed the first roll call vote in today's vote series due to an important meeting with constituents. Had I been present, I would have voted YEA on Roll Call No. 58.
It feels like I am living in the twilight zone again. I understand the gentleman from New York very much wants to spend a half hour debating labeling requirements for pool heaters. I get it. We all get it. It is important to you. It is not important to me and not important to the people who I represent.
I rise in strong opposition to H.J. Res. 61, another attempt by House Republicans to ensure workers and communities continue to breathe toxic air pollution.
But when leadership says no, are they going to vote against the bill? We will see. I doubt it. I very much doubt it. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it is going to happen. And they--each Republican who votes for reconciliation and bad budgets--will be left holding that hot potato.
For decades, AmeriCorps has had bipartisan support, which it deserves, but last week, unfortunately, the Trump administration pulled the rug out from under these community organizations by eliminating their funding--eliminating. Organizations like the Lessie Bates Davis Neighborhood House in East St.
So make no mistake, this resolution to undo the clean air rule would deny clean air protections to the American people, with particular harm to American children whose lungs and brains, still developing, are most vulnerable to the effects of these pollutants.
Today I rise in opposition of H.J. Res. 61, which would nullify an Environmental Protection Agency rule to significantly reduce the unregulated toxic chemicals from tire manufacturing facilities, facilities that my community is all too familiar with.
The men and women who serve our country deserve our unwavering support, not broken promises. The indiscriminate firing of veterans by the Trump administration and Elon Musk dishonors the unwavering commitment that these public servants have dedicated to our country.
This resolution is part of a larger, more dangerous trend to gut our public health agencies, silence our scientists, and roll back critical environmental protections. It proves just how out of touch they are with the American people.
I know that Mr. Molinaro wants to improve the public transportation system and support public transit workers. I appreciate that. I genuinely do. I have no doubt about it.
I was absent from the floor and the roll call vote on Ordering the Previous Question to provide consideration of the joint resolutions H.J. Res. 42, H.J. Res. 61, and S.J. Res. 11. Had I been present, I would have voted: NO on Roll Call No. 56 on Ordering the Previous Question.
