Abstract:
EPA is proposing to revise the leak repair provisions so they apply only to equipment using refrigerant containing a class I or class II substance. This proposal does not affect the recordkeeping and reporting requirements finalized in the 2016 Rule that apply to appliances containing 50 or more pounds of an ODS refrigerant. There are no new records that would be maintained or reports that would be submitted under this proposal. Most of this burden is already covered by the existing requirements in 40 CFR part 82, subpart F, and the existing ICR.
