Regulatory Relief for Certain Stationary Sources To Promote American Coke Oven Processing Security

President Donald J. Trump issued a proclamation granting a two-year exemption from certain compliance requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency's Coke Oven Rule for specific stationary sources. This rule, which was finalized in 2024, imposes new emissions-control standards on coke oven facilities. The exemption is based on the determination that the required emissions-control technologies are not commercially viable or available at the necessary scale. The proclamation aims to protect the national security interests of the United States by ensuring the continued operation of the domestic coke production industry, which is crucial for steel production and infrastructure.
