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

On November 21, 2025, President Donald J. Trump issued a proclamation granting regulatory relief to certain stationary sources involved in coke oven processing. This action exempts these sources from compliance with specific requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency's Coke Oven Rule for an additional two years. The Coke Oven Rule, established under the Clean Air Act, imposes new emissions-control standards that are currently unachievable due to the lack of commercially viable technology. The exemption aims to prevent potential facility closures and production halts that could threaten national security by impacting the domestic coke and steel industries critical to infrastructure and defense.
