Title: Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Allocation of Essential Use Allowances for Calendar Year 2010 
Abstract: This rule would allocate essential use allowances for the import and production of Class I ozone depleting substances for 2010. 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. The production of these chemicals was phased out internationally due to their harmful effects on the earth's ozone layer. EPA has promulgated rules to allocate new production under this exemption since the 1996 phase out. The essential users under this rulemaking are manufacturers of important medical devices such as asthma inhalers.
