Title: Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: The 2011 Critical Use Exemption From the Phaseout of Methyl Bromide | |
Abstract: Methyl bromide was phased out under the Clean Air Act and the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer in 2005, except for limited exemptions. This action would authorize uses that will qualify for the 2011 critical use exemption from the phaseout of methyl bromide, and would also authorize the amount of methyl bromide that may be produced, imported, or supplied from inventory for those uses in 2011. Absent this rulemaking, production and import of methyl bromide for critical uses would be zero for 2011. EPA takes this action under the authority of the Clean Air Act to reflect recent consensus Decisions taken by the Parties to the Montreal Protocol at the 21st Meeting of the Parties. This action also invites comment on a possible end date for the critical use exemption program. Since this rulemaking would confer a benefit by exempting the production and use of a phased-out chemical, there is no significant adverse impact on small entities. | |
