| E6-13951 | Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Adjusting Allowances for Class I Substances for Export to Article 5 Countries | Proposed Rule | This proposed action amends previous action by the Agency regarding the allocation of Article 5 allowances that permit production of ozone-depleting substances (ODS) that are Class I, Group I controlled substances solely for export to developing countries to meet those countries' basic domestic needs. Specifically, this action will remove the 2007-2009 phasedown step for companies that manufacture CFCs-11, -12, or -114 for export to meet the basic domestic needs of developing countries. The Agency is taking this action in response to notification that there would otherwise be a shortfall in the availability of pharmaceutical-grade CFCs for use in metered dose inhalers in developing countries. In a final rule published December 29, 2005, EPA established initial baselines for each company that are far more stringent than required under the Beijing Adjustments to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (the Montreal Protocol), which set out restrictions for production to meet basic domestic needs. Therefore, even without the 2007-2009 step-down reduction, the U.S. will be at production levels to meet basic domestic needs that are far below those allowed under the Beijing Adjustments. This action is taken in accordance with the Montreal Protocol and the Clean Air Act (CAA). | 2006-08-23 | 2006 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2006/08/23/E6-13951/protection-of-stratospheric-ozone-adjusting-allowances-for-class-i-substances-for-export-to-article | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2006-08-23/pdf/E6-13951.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | This proposed action amends previous action by the Agency regarding the allocation of Article 5 allowances that permit production of ozone-depleting substances (ODS) that are Class I, Group I controlled substances solely for export to developing... |
