Title: Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Revision to the Venting Prohibition for Specific Substitute Refrigerants | |
Abstract: This rule would exempt certain hydrocarbon refrigerant substitutes from the existing prohibition under section 608 of the Clean Air Act on knowingly venting, releasing, and disposing of refrigerant substitutes by any person maintaining, servicing, repairing, or disposing of appliances or industrial process refrigeration. EPA recently listed these hydrocarbons as being acceptable subject to use conditions as substitutes for ozone depleting substances under EPA's Significant New Alternative Policy Program. EPA is proposing to take this action based on current evidence that venting, release and disposal of these hydrocarbon refrigerant substitutes do not pose a threat to the environment. | |
