Title: Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Listing of Substitutes for Ozone-Depleting Substances-Hydrocarbon Refrigerants | |
Abstract: This action would propose to list a number of hydrocarbon refrigerants as substitutes to ozone depleting substances for certain household and commercial uses under EPA's Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Program. The SNAP Program evaluates alternatives to ozone-depleting substances to ensure that they do not increase overall risks to human health and the environment and lists these substitutes as acceptable, acceptable subject to use conditions, acceptable with narrowed use limits, or unacceptable. This action would propose to find a number of hydrocarbons acceptable subject to use conditions, including enforceable use conditions to ensure the safe use of hydrocarbons as refrigerants. This rule is anticipated to give industry more options with less overall environmental and health impact than current refrigerants. | |
