Title: ●Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Adjustments to the Allowance System for Controlling HCFC Production, Import, and Export  
Abstract: In 2009, EPA finalized a rule allocating hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) allowances for 2010-2014 (74 FR 66412). Two allowance holders challenged how EPA established the baselines for HCFC-22 and HCFC-142b in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The Court vacated the rule in part and remanded it to EPA. This interim final rulemaking responds to the Court's decision by establishing baseline and annual allowances for the 2011 control period. EPA intends to issue a separate notice and comment rulemaking to address future control periods.
