Title: Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Updates to the Significant New Alternatives Policy Program | |
Abstract: This rule would address court decisions on EPA’s Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program final rules issued on July 20, 2015 (80 FR 42870) (2015 Rule) and on December 1, 2016 (81 FR 86778) (2016 Rule). These rules, among other things, changed the listings for certain hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) in various end-uses in the aerosols, refrigeration and air conditioning, and foam blowing sectors. The Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in the case of Mexichem Fluor, Inc. v. EPA vacated the 2015 Rule “to the extent it requires manufacturers to replace HFCs with a substitute substance” and remanded the rule to EPA for further proceedings; the same court vacated the 2016 Rule to a similar extent. EPA’s SNAP program implements Section 612 of the Clean Air Act. | |
