Title: Air Quality: Revision to Definition of Volatile Organic Compounds--Exclusion of Family of Four Hydrofluoropolyethers (HFPEs) and HFE-347pc-f 
Abstract: This is a deregulatory action to exclude this family of HFPE's and also HFE-347pc-f from the list of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on the basis that, as a precursor, these compounds make a negligible contribution to the formation of tropospheric ozone. These compounds have the potential for use as refrigerants because they are not stratospheric ozone depleters. This action will remove the necessity to control these particular HFPE's and HFE-347pc-f as VOCs in State Implementation Plans for attaining the ozone standard.
