Rule Summary

On November 13, 2024, EPA finalized amendments to the national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for Rubber Tire Manufacturing. Specifically, the amendments in this rulemaking address unregulated emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) from the rubber processing subcategory and will fulfill EPA’s obligation to address all HAP listed in the Clean Air Act for this source category. In addition, this rule establishes new standards for the rubber tire industry that meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act.

The EPA has identified rubber tire manufacturing facilities as major sources of HAP emissions. The amendments will fulfill the EPA’s obligation to address all HAP listed in the Clean Air Act for this source category. This action will reduce total emissions of total hydrocarbons and filterable particulate matter from the rubber tire manufacturing source category by approximately 171 tons per year.
