Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Administrative Changes to
Final Rule to Phase Out Ozone-Depleting Chemicals
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: With this action, EPA amends the current regulation to phase
out the production and consumption of most ozone-depleting substances.
This action clarifies aspects of the regulation as provided under
section 604 and 606 of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAA). To
ensure an orderly phaseout of the production and consumption of
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), carbon tetrachloride, methyl chloroform and
hydrobromofluorocarbons in 1996, and of halons after 1994, this action
alters the administrative requirements of the regulations so companies
may continue to produce for special exempted uses. Today's action also
clarifies administrative procedures to improve the efficiency of
current reporting requirements and to reduce the burden on the affected
companies. These actions continue to ensure compliance with Title VI of
the CAA in a manner consistent with the United States' obligations
under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer,
as amended.
Specifically, EPA changes the requirements for the post-phaseout
period for transformation and destruction of ozone-depleting
substances; establishes the framework for the post-phaseout production
of exempted essential uses; revises the controls for imports of
controlled substances that are used or recycled; eases the requirements
for exporting substances to Article 5 countries; changes the allowance
requirements for exports of ozone-depleting substances; clarifies the
requirements for heels remaining in containers that are returning to
the U.S.; provides a period of reconciliation in which allowance
balances may be adjusted; and simplifies the recordkeeping and
reporting requirements.
The changes made in this rule ease the burden on industry, and will
therefore limit the negative economic impact associated with the
regulations previously promulgated under Sections 604 and 606, while
maintaining the environmental benefits of the accelerated phaseout.
DATES: This rule is effective on May 10, 1995. Amendments to the
requirements specifically addressing 1995 apply to the entire 1995
control period.

I. Background
The current regulatory requirements of the Stratospheric Ozone
Protection Program that limit production and consumption of ozonedepleting
substances were promulgated by the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) in the Federal Register on December 10, 1993 (58 FR
65018), and on December 30, 1993 (58 FR 69235). The requirements
contained in these rules set out an Allowance Program (the Program)
that was described in the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
published in the Federal Register on November 10, 1994 (59 FR 56275).
The preamble to the November 10, 1994 proposed rulemaking describes the
history of the Program, the current requirements and the proposed
amendments.
The Allowance Program was designed to ensure that the U.S. meets
its obligations under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete
the Ozone Layer, as amended, (the Protocol) and to ensure compliance
with Title VI of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAA). The
Protocol and the CAA require the control and phaseout of production and
consumption of ozone-depleting substances. In the Program, companies
expend ``allowances'' when they produce or import ozone-depleting
substances. With certain restrictions, the allowances can be traded
among companies both domestically and internationally (between
countries that are Parties to the Protocol). To control production, the
Agency allocated baseline production allowances to producers of
specific ozone-depleting chemicals. To control consumption, the Agency
allocated baseline consumption allowances to producers and importers of
specific ozone-depleting chemicals. Allowances for class I substances
are currently provided to companies on an annual basis, except for
halons whose production was phased out on January 1, 1994. The
allowances are assigned to companies according to production and
importation during base years.
In the context of the Program, the use of the term consumption may
be misleading. It is not the ``use'' of these substances that is
controlled through regulation but rather the amount of the substance
available for U.S. domestic consumption, defined as production plus
imports minus exports of bulk virgin chemicals. Controlled substances
produced or imported through the use of allowances prior to 1996 (1994
for halons) can continue to be used by industry and the public after
the phaseout.
II. Administrative Changes in the Stratospheric Protection Program
The administrative changes in today's action modify the current
regulation to ensure an orderly phaseout in 1996, so that companies may
continue to produce for specified exempted uses permitted under the
Protocol and the CAA. In addition, the Agency is seeking to improve the
efficiency of the requirements and to reduce the burden on the affected
companies while ensuring continued compliance with Title VI of the CAA
and the Montreal [[Page 24971]] Protocol. In light of these objectives,
the Agency is promulgating the following administrative changes to
improve the Program.
The NPRM published in the Federal Register on November 10, 1994,
proposed changes to begin on January 1, 1996 for the post-phaseout
period and also proposed changes for the 1995 control period.
Under the current regulation, the phaseout of the production and
consumption of the class I controlled substances (except Group VI,
methyl bromide) will be complete by January 1, 1996. A list of the
specific class I ozone-depleting chemicals in each Group can be found
in appendices A and F to subpart A. The schedule for the phaseout of
hydrochlorofluorocarbons was published in the Federal Register on
December 10, 1993, and is unchanged in this final rule.
Due to the phaseout, beginning January 1, 1996, production and
consumption allowances for all class I controlled substances, except
Group VI, methyl bromide, will no longer be used. Despite the
discontinuation of such production and consumption allowances for class
I controlled substances (except methyl bromide), the Agency envisions
that the manufacture of class I controlled substances may continue
after January 1, 1996, provided the substances are:
<bullet> Either transformed or destroyed,
<bullet> Produced for export to Article 5 countries,
<bullet> Produced for essential uses as authorized by the Protocol
and CAA and consistent with essential-use allowances, or
<bullet> Produced with destruction and transformation credits.
In addition, EPA envisions that the import of class I controlled
substances (except methyl bromide) may continue after January 1, 1996,
without the need for consumption allowances, if the substances are:
<bullet> Either transformed or destroyed,
<bullet> Previously used (including recycled or reclaimed),
<bullet> Imported for essential uses as authorized by the Protocol
and CAA and consistent with essential-use allowances,
<bullet> Transhipped through the United States to another Party to
the Protocol, or
<bullet> Imported using destruction and transformation credits.
Through today's final rule the Agency will:
(1) Maintain a category of Article 5 allowances (previously called
potential production allowances),
(2) Create a new category of essential-use allowances, and
(3) Create narrow procedures for granting destruction and
transformation credits.
EPA received twenty-two comments on the proposed rulemaking
published in the Federal Register on November 10, 1994, as well as
several additional submissions following the close of the comment
period. All comments were reviewed and considered. Comments most
relevant to today's action are responded to in the preamble and
additional responses to comments are available in the Air Docket No. A-
92-13.
A. Program Requirements for Continued Post-Phaseout Production and
Importation After January 1, 1996
Post-Phaseout Requirements for Transformation and Destruction of
Controlled Substances
The following paragraphs discuss requirements for the destruction
and transformation of controlled substances after the January 1, 1996
phaseout date. EPA would like to be informed of new technologies for
destruction of controlled substances that have been developed or are
being developed since the Parties to the Protocol first approved the
current list of destruction technologies. EPA would like to anticipate
the future review of new technologies for destruction by the Parties to
the Protocol.
Definition of Emissive Use. In the preamble of the proposal (59 FR
56278), EPA discussed a definition of ``emissive use'' that the Agency
decided was unnecessary for today's action and provided no additional
clarity to the regulation.
a. Production or Importation of Controlled Substances Explicitly
for Uses that Result in Transformation or Destruction after January 1,
In today's action, EPA permits companies to produce or import
controlled substances if explicitly produced or imported for uses that
will result in transformation or destruction in the United States or in
a Party, after January 1, 1996.
In the 1995 control period, controlled substances may continue to
be produced explicitly for uses that result in transformation or
destruction in the U.S. without the expenditure of allowances, as under
the current regulation. Section C.3., ``Administrative Changes to
Production Allowance Requirements for Exports that are Transformed or
Destroyed,'' of this preamble discusses controlled substances produced
in 1995 explicitly for export that results in transformation or
destruction.
Response to Comments: EPA received one comment that did not
entirely support EPA's proposal to permit a company to produce or
import after January 1, 1996, if explicitly for transformation or
destruction. The commenter objected to maintaining procedures, after
January 1, 1996, for companies that produce or import controlled
substances explicitly for destruction in the U.S. (59 FR 56278). The
commenter questioned the need for production, and especially
importation, of controlled substances for destruction in the United
States after the 1996 phaseout. This same commenter, however, did
support the proposal to permit production and importation, after
January 1, 1996, for transformation in the U.S.
EPA is permitting production and importation explicitly for
destruction after January 1, 1996, because industry commonly uses
carbon tetrachloride and other controlled substances in chemical
reactions until they lose their effectiveness and must be destroyed. In
many chemical reactions, carbon tetrachloride is used as a catalyst or
stabilizer. Once the reaction is complete, the carbon tetrachloride is
withdrawn from the chemical being produced and used in the reaction of
the next batch. Through these reactions, carbon tetrachloride loses its
effectiveness as a catalyst or stabilizer and must eventually be
destroyed. Many manufacturing processes rely on the unique
characteristics of carbon tetrachloride, and other controlled
substances, as catalysts or stabilizers but these chemical eventually
need to be destroyed. EPA wishes to allow these manufacturing uses of
controlled substances to continue after January 1, 1996, because they
are not emissive uses, pose no significant threat to the environment
and are vital to the U.S. economy.
EPA received three comments seeking clarification of the
requirements for production for export resulting in transformation
after January 1, 1996. The proposal included a discussion, in section
C.3.d. ``Administrative Changes to Production Allowance Requirements
for Exports that are Transformed or Destroyed,'' (59 FR 56289) of
requirements for the 1995 control period. However, the proposal did not
explicitly define export requirements for the post-phaseout period.
With this action, EPA permits production of class I controlled
substances (except methyl bromide) after January 1, 1996, if the
substance is explicitly produced for export or domestic uses resulting
in transformation or destruction. As a [[Page 24972]] result, EPA
requires producers and importers to receive an IRS certification of
intent to transform or a destruction verification from all second- or
third-party transformers or destroyers, whether the transformer or
destroyer is domestic or foreign. Several U.S. companies commented that
they currently use the IRS certificate of intent to transform in
transactions with foreign transformers. For the sake of simplicity,
these commenters suggested that the IRS certificate be required for all
production and importation explicitly for uses resulting in
transformation, whether they be foreign or domestic.
Today's rule maintains the current requirement that producers and
importers submit to EPA the IRS certificates of intent to transform, or
the destruction verifications, with the quarterly reports (see Section
C.7., Recordkeeping and Reporting). In response to comments and to ease
the reporting burden on industry, EPA permits producers and importers
to submit a one-time-per-control period IRS certificate for each
customer. Quarterly reports may reference the original IRS certificate
submitted for each transformer and simply list the quantity of
subsequent sales.
With today's rule, EPA maintains the current requirement published
in the Federal Register on December 10, 1993, that quantities of class
II controlled substances transformed or destroyed must be reported on a
quarterly basis. EPA maintains the requirement to meet U.S. obligations
under the Protocol to accurately monitor production of class II
controlled substances.
b. Production or Importation of Controlled Substances for Emissive
Uses that are Subsequently Transformed or Destroyed. With today's
action, EPA eliminates the specific provisions that grant additional
production and consumption allowances, beginning January 1, 1996, for
all class I controlled substances, except methyl bromide, produced for
emissive uses but later transformed or destroyed. After January 1,
1996, there will no longer be production or consumption allowances for
class I controlled substances, except methyl bromide. After January 1,
1996, a producer or importer of methyl bromide who expends production
or consumption allowances and subsequently transforms or destroys the
methyl bromide will still be able to petition the Agency for additional
production and consumption allowances until the phaseout on January 1,
2001.
EPA maintains, for the 1995 control period, the provisions allowing
producers and importers to petition the Agency for production and
consumption allowances if the controlled substance was produced or
imported with expended allowances and subsequently transformed or
destroyed.
Response to Comments: EPA received no comments regarding the
proposal to eliminate procedures after January 1, 1996, that grant
additional production and consumption allowances for class I controlled
substances that are transformed or destroyed (except methyl bromide)
(59 FR 56278). After January 1, 1996, additional production and
consumption allowances may be sought for methyl bromide that is
transformed or destroyed if it was originally produced with expended
allowances.
c. The Post-Phaseout Procedures for Granting Destruction and
Transformation Credits. In today's action, EPA creates limited
destruction and transformation credits to be granted after January 1,
1996, for the destruction or the transformation in the United States of
class I controlled substances (except methyl bromide) taken from a use
system in the United States under certain circumstances. Destruction
and transformation credits can only be obtained by entities whose
applications are nominated by the U.S. government to the Protocol
Secretariat for essential-use exemptions. The transformation and
destruction credits are granted for the calculated amount of controlled
substance transformed or destroyed minus a 15 percent offset.
With today's action, an eligible person granted destruction and
transformation credits by EPA for the destruction or transformation of
an amount of a controlled substance taken from a U.S. use system may
use the credits to newly produce or import the class I controlled
substance for which they were nominated for an essential-use exemption.
Today's action requires reporting on the source of material imported
with credits. The reporting requirement is designed to deter abuse of
credits as a means of illegally importing material as discussed in
section B., ``Imports of Used Controlled Substances.''
Response to Comments: EPA received six adverse comments, and three
supportive comments to the proposal. EPA proposed (59 FR 56279) to
grant destruction and transformation credits after January 1, 1996 to
anyone who documents destruction or transformation of class I
controlled substances (except methyl bromide) taken from a use system
in the U.S.
The comments challenging EPA's proposal expressed concern that
granting destruction and transformation credits which can be used to
produce or import virgin class I controlled substances (except methyl
bromide) contradicts EPA's message of phasing out ozone-depleting
substances and making the transition to alternatives. Four of the
comments not supporting credits were from industry and the other two
were from environmental groups.
The comments challenged the proposed credits as violating U.S.
obligations under the Protocol because they encourage production and
importation of class I substances beyond the phaseout dates agreed to
by Protocol Parties. The commenters challenged EPA's claim that
environmental benefits would result from a scheme allowing continued
production and importation beyond the phaseout, even if more than an
equivalent amount of controlled substance were destroyed or
transformed. EPA believes the Protocol allows production beyond the
phaseout if the amount produced is equivalent to the amount destroyed
by technologies approved by the Parties, as explained in the proposal's
discussion (59 FR 56280) of the Protocol's definition of production.
The proposal also discusses the environmental benefits of preventing
release to the atmosphere of material by encouraging destruction or
transformation of unwanted material in exchange for the production of
material that will be used (59 FR 56281).
A commenter cited Congressional legislative history from the
drafting of the CAA that was unfavorable regarding destruction.
Congressional debate included a statement that ``the Protocol's
exclusion for manufactured substances that are subsequently destroyed
is too broad and does not include adequate safeguards to preclude
abuse.'' EPA recognizes the concerns expressed in the legislative
history for the CAA and intends to offer these credits to a very
limited universe of people.
A commenter also pointed out that substances produced or imported
with credits would be subject to the excise tax, eliminating the
incentive to destroy or transform a material. A person would be paying
a double tax. The tax would be paid on the original material and there
would be a tax on the new material produced or imported with the
credits. A commenter suggested that a tax credit or tax deduction would
provide a greater financial incentive than the proposed credits. EPA
acknowledges concerns about taxes and will therefore only grant credits
when they are absolutely necessary.
In response to comments on destruction and transformation credits,
EPA is significantly limiting the [[Page 24973]] circumstances under
which a person can obtain credits. With today's action, only a person
that has exhibited an essential need for controlled substances beyond
the phaseout date will be able to obtain destruction and transformation
credits. EPA believes that only a person who has an essential need for
a controlled substance should be eligible for credits that allow an
exchange of destroyed or transformed existing material for the
production or importation of new material.
EPA today defines a person who has demonstrated the essential need
for controlled substances beyond the phaseout, and can, therefore,
obtain credits, as a person whose application was nominated by the U.S.
government to the Protocol for an essential-use exemption. The
nomination by the U.S. government defines eligibility for the credits,
not the acceptance of the nomination by the Parties to the Protocol.
For example, the U.S. Air Force's Titan Rocket has been nominated by
the U.S. government for an essential use exemption and is therefore
eligible for credits. A person who has been nominated to the Protocol
for an essential-use exemption is eligible to be granted destruction
and transformation credits after January 1, 1996, upon the destruction
or transformation of a controlled substance taken from a use system in
the U.S. Only for the control period(s) for which the U.S. government
made nominations to the Protocol is a person eligible for the credits.
If for some reason the nomination is revoked, the person's eligibility
for credits is also revoked.
EPA received three comments that suggested a larger offset than the
15 percent proposed for destruction and transformation credits. The
commenters challenged the 15 percent as being too small to provide an
environmental benefit in a system that permits production or
importation of new controlled substances after the phaseout. All three
commenters suggested a 50 percent offset to ensure environmental
benefits from the use of credits in the production or importation of
new ozone-depleting substances. EPA justified the use of a 15 percent
offset in the proposal citing environmental benefits (59 FR 56280) and
basing the offset on current destruction capacity in the U.S (59 FR
56281). EPA believes that today's action significantly limits the
universe of people who can obtain credits. The limitation of who can
obtain credits to those with a critical need, as defined by their
essential-use nomination to the Protocol, significantly reduces the
amount of production or importation of new material that will occur
after the phaseout. EPA anticipates credits will only be sought and
used in situations when one of the small number of people with critical
needs encounters unforeseen circumstances or a catastrophic loss of
material produced with essential-use allowances. With today's action,
EPA will allocate credits equal to the calculated level of controlled
substance destroyed or transformed minus the 15 percent offset. The
destruction must occur in an approved destruction technology. An
eligible person may request credits equal to 85 percent of the
calculated level of controlled substance destroyed or transformed.
EPA believes a person with an essential need for a controlled
substance, as defined by a U.S. nomination to the Protocol, will view
today's system of credits as an opportunity to satisfy critical needs,
especially if material produced with essential-use allowances is lost
to a catastrophe. EPA views today's action as a method to encourage the
destruction or transformation of unwanted controlled substances that
were taken from a use system in the U.S. that might otherwise be
released to the atmosphere.
EPA received many comments, from both industry and Federal
agencies, challenging the use of credits for importing controlled
substances after the phaseout as yet another opportunity for illegal
imports. As discussed in the proposal (59 FR 56285), and below in this
rulemaking, EPA is working to confront the illegal import of controlled
substances. In 1994, EPA formed an inter-government task force with the
Internal Revenue Service and the Customs Service to investigate illegal
imports. An industry coalition formed a special committee to assist
Federal agencies in investigating illegal imports. The efforts of
government and industry have focused on the mislabelling of controlled
substances and the submission of fraudulent documents that allow the
illegal entry of imported controlled substances into U.S. commerce. In
commenting on the proposed rule, both government and industry expressed
concern that the use of credits for imports would be another chance for
the submission of fraudulent documents. In response to these comments,
EPA is requiring documentation of the source of imported material as
required in Sec. 82.13(g)(2), where applicable.
Clean Air Act Restrictions on the Use of Credits: With today's
action, EPA limits the total amount of transformation credits and
destruction credits that can be used in a control period to the
production caps in the phaseout schedule of section 604 of the CAA,
outlined in Table I.
