critical use exemption?
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
AGENCY
B. Under the provisions of both the CAA
and the Montreal Protocol, the critical
use exemption became available to
approved users on January 1, 2005.
Allowances for subsequent years are
authorized through regulations. The
critical use exemption process has an
international component and a
domestic component.
[EPA–HQ–OPPT–2006–0348; FRL–8060–8]
The projected schedule for the next
three years is as follows:
April 26, 2006—Solicit applications for
the methyl bromide critical use
exemption for 2009 and beyond.
July 10, 2006—Deadline for submitting
critical use exemption applications to
EPA.
Fall 2006—U.S. Government (EPA,
Department of State, U.S. Department
of Agriculture, and other interested
federal agencies) create U.S. critical
use nomination package.
January 31, 2007 but earlier December
2006 deadline strongly encouraged for
this year—Deadline for U.S.
Government to submit U.S.
nomination package to the Protocol
Parties.
Early 2007—Review of critical use
nomination packages by Technical
and Economic Assessment Panel
(TEAP) and Methyl Bromide
Technical Options Committee
(MBTOC).
Mid 2007—Parties consider TEAP/
MBTOC recommendations.
September 2007—Parties authorize
critical use exemptions for production
and consumption in 2008
(supplemental request) and 2009.
Early-Mid 2008—EPA publishes
proposed rule and final rule for 2008
supplemental request, if applicable.
Mid 2008—EPA publishes proposed
rule for allocating critical use
exemptions in the U.S. for 2009.
Late 2008—EPA publishes final rule
allocating critical use exemptions in
the U.S. for the 2009 control period.

Efficiency (PCIE) and the Executive
Council on Integrity and Efficiency
(ECIE) are establishing peer review
processes that are designed to provide
qualitative measurement against the
Inspector General community standards
to ensure that adequate internal and
management procedures are maintained.
The peer reviews are designed to foster
high quality investigations and
investigative processes and promote
consistency in investigative standards
and practices within the Inspector
General community. EEOC’s Office of
Inspector General intends to participate
in the peer review processes. Proposed
routine use g. would allow disclosure of
information to authorized officials
within the PCIE, the ECIE, the
Department of Justice and the Federal
Bureau of Investigation for the purpose
of conducting qualitative assessment
reviews of the Office of Inspector
General’s investigative operations.
Proposed routine use h. would allow the
disclosure of information to the PCIE
and the ECIE for their preparation of
