| 2015-26946 | Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Update to the Refrigerant Management Requirements Under the Clean Air Act | Proposed Rule | The Clean Air Act prohibits the knowing release of ozone- depleting and substitute refrigerants during the course of maintaining, servicing, repairing, or disposing of appliances or industrial process refrigeration. The existing regulations require that persons servicing or disposing of air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment observe certain service practices that reduce emissions of ozone-depleting refrigerant. This proposed rule would update those existing requirements as well as extend them, as appropriate, to non-ozone- depleting substitute refrigerants, such as hydrofluorocarbons. The proposed updates include strengthening leak repair requirements, establishing recordkeeping requirements for the disposal of appliances containing five to 50 pounds of refrigerant, changes to the technician certification program, and changes for improved readability, compliance, and restructuring of the requirements. As a result, this action would reduce emissions of ozone-depleting substances and gases with high global warming potentials. | 2015-11-09 | 2015 | 11 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2015/11/09/2015-26946/protection-of-stratospheric-ozone-update-to-the-refrigerant-management-requirements-under-the-clean | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2015-11-09/pdf/2015-26946.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The Clean Air Act prohibits the knowing release of ozone- depleting and substitute refrigerants during the course of maintaining, servicing, repairing, or disposing of appliances or industrial process refrigeration.
