Title: Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Amending Requirements To Import Ozone-Depleting Substances for Destruction in the U.S. 
Abstract: EPA is proposing to revise the requirements for import of Class I and Class II controlled ozone-depleting substances (controlled substances) into the United States by adding provisions for importing controlled substances specifically for purposes of destruction. The proposed provisions would require pre-notification to EPA in the form of a certification of intent to import for destruction, and would institute additional recordkeeping and reporting requirements for persons who import controlled substances for destruction. EPA is also proposing to revise the regulations governing the destruction of controlled substances under 40 CFR part 82, subpart A, by revising the definitions governing destruction of controlled substances and revising recordkeeping and reporting requirements for persons who destroy controlled substances. EPA believes that the streamlined regulatory provisions being proposed in this action will result in the destruction of additional quantities of controlled substances in the United States that would have otherwise been emitted into the atmosphere, where they deplete the stratospheric ozone layer.
