Abstract:
EPA seeking to renew the existing ICR for the methyl bromide critical use exemption program (CUE) under the Clean Air Act. This ICR seeks to characterize the burden associated with producing, importing, distributing, and using methyl bromide under the critical use exemption program as described in 40 CFR Part 82, which requires the submission of data from regulated industries to the EPA and require recordkeeping of key documents to ensure compliance with the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (Protocol) and the CAA. In addition this ICR allows EPA to collect CUE applications from regulated entities on an annual basis. Entities applying for this exemption are asked to submit to EPA applications with necessary data to evaluate the need for a critical use exemption.
