Title: ●Air Quality: Revision to Definition of Volatile Organic Compounds--Exclusion of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene 
Abstract: This final action will add 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (also known as HFO-1234yf) to the list of compounds excluded from the definition of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on the basis that this compound makes a negligible contribution to tropospheric ozone formation. The exemption of this compound from control as a VOC will allow industrial users of refrigerants to use it without the burden of controlling emissions.
