Abstract:
This rule-related information collection request (ICR) is being proposed in accordance with the proposed rulemaking, “Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Standards Related to the Manufacture of Class II Ozone-Depleting Substances for Feedstock.” In the proposed rule, EPA is proposing to limit emissions of hydrofluorocarbon-23 (HFC-23) from plants that manufacture class II ozone-depleting substances (i.e., hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs)), regulated under current Clean Air Act regulations. Under the proposal, the HFC-23 must be captured and employed for a commercial use or destroyed using a technology approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Reporters subject to the proposed rule, if finalized, would be required to report data on HFC-23 generated from the manufacture of HCFCs using the Ozone-Depleting Substances Tracking System (ODSTS).
