| 2019-17018 | Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Adjustments to the Allowance System for Controlling HCFC Production and Import, 2020-2029; and Other Updates | Proposed Rule | The EPA is proposing to allocate production and consumption allowances for specific hydrochlorofluorocarbons, a type of ozone- depleting substance, for the years 2020 through 2029. These hydrochlorofluorocarbons may be used to service certain equipment manufactured before 2020. The EPA is also proposing to update other requirements under the program for controlling production and consumption of ozone-depleting substances, as well as proposing edits to the regulatory text for improved readability and clarity. These updates include revising the labeling requirements for containers of specific hydrochlorofluorocarbons; prohibiting the conversion of hydrochlorofluorocarbon allowances allocated through this rulemaking into allowances for hydrochlorofluorocarbons that have already been phased out; requiring the use of an electronic reporting system for producers, importers, exporters, transformers, and destroyers of class I and class II ozone-depleting substances; revising and removing recordkeeping and reporting requirements; improving the process for petitioning to import used substances for reuse; creating a certification process for importing used and virgin substances for destruction; and restricting the sale of known illegally imported substances. This notice further includes proposed clarifications to the certification requirements for methyl bromide quarantine and preshipment uses. The EPA is also proposing to add polyurethane foam systems containing ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons to the list of nonessential products. Lastly, the agency is proposing to update the definition of "destruction" as used in the context of the production and consumption phaseout and remove obsolete provisions. | 2019-08-14 | 2019 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/08/14/2019-17018/protection-of-stratospheric-ozone-adjustments-to-the-allowance-system-for-controlling-hcfc | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2019-08-14/pdf/2019-17018.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The EPA is proposing to allocate production and consumption allowances for specific hydrochlorofluorocarbons, a type of ozone- depleting substance, for the years 2020 through 2029.
