The American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act of 2020 authorizes EPA to address hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) in three main ways: phasing down HFC production and consumption through an allowance allocation program; promulgating certain regulations for purposes of maximizing reclamation and minimizing releases of HFCs and their substitutes from equipment; and facilitating sector-based transitions to next-generation technologies. This ICR covers provisions under subsection (i) of the AIM Act that restrict, fully, partially, or on a graduated schedule, the use of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs or regulated substances) in the sector or subsector in which the regulated substance is used. In accordance with the rulemaking Phasedown of Hydrofluorocarbons: Restrictions on the Use of Certain Hydrofluorocarbons under Subsection (i) of the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act of 2020, manufacturers and importers of products containing HFCs are required to electronically report data to EPA and label products using regulated substances.
This is a new ICR that covers provisions under subsection (i) of the AIM Act that restrict, fully, partially, or on a graduated schedule, the use of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs or regulated substances) in the sector or subsector in which the regulated substance is used.
