Title: Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Allocation of Essential Use Allowances for Calendar Year 2009
Abstract: This rule allocates essential use allowances for the import and production of Class I stratospheric ozone depleting substances for 2009. Essential use allowances enable a person to produce or import controlled Class I ozone depleting substances under the essential use exemption to the regulatory phaseout of these chemicals, which became effective on January 1, 1996. These chemicals were phased out of production internationally due to their harmful effects on the earth's ozone layer. EPA has promulgated such rules to allocate new production since the 1996 phase out. Under this rule, the essential uses are the manufacture of important medical devices such as asthma inhalers.
