Title: Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Process for Exempting Emergency Uses of Methyl Bromide
Abstract: Under the Clean Air Act and the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, this rule will seek to create an exemption for emergency uses of methyl bromide, an ozone depleting substance. This exemption will be limited to no more than 20 metric tons per emergency event. This is a deregulatory action that will decrease burden on producers, importers, distributors, and applicators of methyl bromide as well as end-users of methyl bromide who are growers and owners of stored food products while still achieving the environmental objectives of the program.
