| Abstract: This proposed rulemaking proposes changes to the current regulations that implement the statutory ban on nonessential products that release class I ozone-depleting substances under section 610 of the Clean Air Act, as amended. This proposed rulemaking was developed by EPA based on new and compelling information that has been gathered and indicates that some sectors continue to use class I substances in products where the use of those substances today should be considered a "nonessential use of class I substances in a product.'' The products affected by this rulemaking are aerosol products, pressurized dispensers, plastic foam products, and air-conditioning and refrigeration products that contain or are manufactured with chlorofluorocarbons. | ||||
