Through this action EPA is amending the Refrigerant Recycling Regulations promulgated under section 608 of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. This action is being undertaken to address specific concerns regarding the leak repair requirements for industrial process refrigeration systems, pursuant to a settlement agreement with the Chemical Manufacturers Association (CMA). This action will affect the owners and operators of industrial process refrigeration with regard to leak repair provisions. Certain aspects of this action will also affect federal owners and operators of commercial and comfort-cooling refrigeration with charges of 50 pounds of refrigerant or greater. This action provides greater flexibility to owners and operators of industrial process sources and to some federally-owned commercial and comfort-cooling refrigerant sources with regard to leak repair provisions. EPA is providing this flexibility without compromising the goals of protecting public health and the environment.
