Proclamation: Regulatory Relief for Certain Stationary Sources to Promote American Chemical Manufacturing Security
Summary
President Trump issued a proclamation exempting certain chemical manufacturing facilities from compliance with the EPA's HON Rule for two years, citing unavailability of required technology and national security concerns. The exemption delays emissions-control deadlines and maintains pre-HON Rule standards for listed stationary sources, invoking authority under Clean Air Act section 112(i)(4).
