View Rule

This proposed 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 in 1994. This proposed rule would update the technician certification examination to reflect developments in new refrigerants, equipment, and technology. This proposed 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.
