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".

In plain language: This joint resolution overturns an Environmental Protection Agency rule that placed stricter limits on hazardous air pollutants released by rubber tire manufacturing plants. Tire makers will not have to purchase new emissions-reduction technology or monitor additional toxic air emissions, saving those businesses compliance costs. Consequently, communities living near tire production facilities will not receive the anticipated reductions in toxic industrial emissions, and the EPA will be barred from issuing a substantially similar rule in the future without new approval from Congress.
