EPA is proposing an exemption to the phaseout of methyl bromide production and import for 2006 critical uses. Specifically, EPA is proposing uses that will qualify for the 2006 critical use exemption, and the amount of methyl bromide that may be produced, imported, or made available from stocks for those uses in 2006. EPA's action is taken under the authority of the Clean Air Act and reflects recent consensus Decisions taken by the Parties to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (Protocol) at the 16th Meeting of the Parties (MOP) and the 2nd Extraordinary Meeting of the Parties (ExMOP). EPA is seeking comment on both the list of critical uses, and on EPA's determination of the amounts of methyl bromide needed to satisfy those uses.
