Specifically, this action proposes to list as acceptable, subject to use restrictions, propane and HFO-1234yf in the refrigeration and air conditioning, and 2-bromo- 3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-ene in the fire suppression and explosion protection sectors; to list as unacceptable certain hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon blends in specific end-uses in the refrigeration and air conditioning sector; and to modify the listing status for certain high- global warming potential alternatives for certain end-uses in the refrigeration and air conditioning, foam blowing, and fire suppression and explosion protection sectors. This action also proposes to exempt propane in certain refrigeration end-uses from the Clean Air Act section 608 prohibition on venting, release, or disposal on the basis of current evidence that its venting, release, or disposal does not pose a threat to the environment. In addition, this action proposes to apply unacceptability determinations for foam-blowing agents to closed cell foam products and products containing closed cell foam that are manufactured or imported using these foam-blowing agents. This action also proposes to clarify the listing for Powdered Aerosol D (Stat- X[supreg]), which is currently listed as both acceptable and acceptable subject to use conditions, by removing the listing as acceptable subject to use conditions. 81 FR 22810 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2016-04-18/2016-08163 2016-08163 fr18ap16-16 RIN 2060-AS80 6560-50-P EPA-HQ-OAR-2015-0663 FRL-9941-84-OAR https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2016-04-18/2016-08163 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-04-18/html/2016-08163.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-04-18/pdf/2016-08163.pdf Environmental Protection Administrative Practice and Procedure Air Pollution Control Incorporation by Reference Recycling Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements Stratospheric Ozone Layer 100 p. 22810 22909 81 FR 22810 Title 40 Part 82 40 CFR Part 82 RIN 2060-AS80 Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Proposed New Listings of Substitutes; Changes of Listing Status; and Reinterpretation of Unacceptability for Closed Cell Foam Products Under the Significant New Alternatives Policy Program; and Revision of Clean Air Act Section 608 Venting Prohibition for Propane; Federal Register Vol. 81, Issue PRORULE 2016-08163 III ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 2016-06-02 2016-05-03 EPA-HQ-OAR-2015-0663 FRL-9941-84-OAR 6560-50-P 2016-08163 Notice of proposed rulemaking.
