Title: Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Modifications to the Technician Certification Requirements Under Section 608 of the Clean Air Act
Abstract: This rule would amend Appendix D to subpart F of 40 CFR part 82-Standards for Becoming a Certifying Program for Technicians. The Refrigerant Recycling Regulations governing standards for certifying programs for technicians were promulgated under section 608 of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 in 1994. This rule would update parts of the regulations concerning the technician certification examination. The examination needs to reflect developments in new refrigerants, equipment, and technology over the last 12 years. This rule would provide specific requirements for programs applying to become certifying organizations, would specify reporting and recordkeeping requirements in order to enhance implementation of the program, and would define other administrative components of the program to improve accountability.
