Public Participation
There are three ways to become
involved in the Commission’s review of
this project: you can file a protest to the
project, you can file a motion to
intervene in the proceeding, and you
can file comments on the project. There
is no fee or cost for filing protests,
motions to intervene, or comments. The
deadline for filing protests, motions to
intervene, and comments is 5 p.m.
eastern time on November 28, 2022.
How to file protests, motions to
intervene, and comments is explained
below.
Protests
Pursuant to section 157.205 of the
Commission’s regulations under the
NGA,2 any person 3 or the Commission’s
staff may file a protest to the request. If
no protest is filed within the time
allowed or if a protest is filed and then
withdrawn within 30 days after the
allowed time for filing a protest, the
proposed activity shall be deemed to be
authorized effective the day after the
time allowed for protest. If a protest is
filed and not withdrawn within 30 days
after the time allowed for filing a
protest, the instant request for
authorization will be considered by the
Commission.
Protests must comply with the
requirements specified in section
157.205(e) of the Commission’s
regulations,4 and must be submitted by
the protest deadline, which is November
28, 2022. A protest may also serve as a

for the project, which is November 28,
2022. As described further in Rule 214,
your motion to intervene must state, to
the extent known, your position
regarding the proceeding, as well as
your interest in the proceeding. For an
individual, this could include your
status as a landowner, ratepayer,
resident of an impacted community, or

property directly impacted by the
project in order to intervene. For more
information about motions to intervene,
refer to the FERC website at https://
www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/how-to/

All timely, unopposed motions to
intervene are automatically granted by
operation of Rule 214(c)(1). Motions to
intervene that are filed after the
intervention deadline are untimely and
may be denied. Any late-filed motion to
intervene must show good cause for
being late and must explain why the
time limitation should be waived and
provide justification by reference to
factors set forth in Rule 214(d) of the
Commission’s Rules and Regulations. A
person obtaining party status will be
placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and
will receive copies (paper or electronic)
of all documents filed by the applicant
and by all other parties.

the project may do so. The Commission
considers all comments received about
the project in determining the
appropriate action to be taken. To
ensure that your comments are timely
and properly recorded, please submit
your comments on or before November
28, 2022. The filing of a comment alone
will not serve to make the filer a party
to the proceeding. To become a party,
you must intervene in the proceeding.

Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The purpose of this notice is
to alert the public of the Environmental
Protection Agency’s (EPA) decision to
grant two petitions submitted under the
American Innovation and
Manufacturing Act of 2020. The two
petitions request that the Environmental
Protection Agency restrict the use of
certain regulated substances, as defined
in the Act, in certain commercial
refrigeration applications, pursuant to
its authority under the Act to
promulgate rules that restrict, fully,
partially, or on a graduated schedule,
the use of a regulated substance in the
sector or subsector in which the
regulated substance is used. The Agency
is also using this notice to inform the
public of how it will treat two
additional submissions by the AirConditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration
Institute under this subsection.
DATES: EPA granted the two petitions
referenced in this notice via letters
signed on September 19, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
Subsection (i) of the American
Innovation and Manufacturing Act of
2020 (AIM Act or the Act),1 entitled
‘‘Technology Transitions,’’ provides that
the Administrator may by rule restrict,
1 The AIM Act was enacted as section 103 in
Division S, Innovation for the Environment, of the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Pub. L.
116–260) (codified at 42 U.S.C. 7675).116–260).

fully, partially, or on a graduated
schedule, the use of a regulated
substance in the sector or subsector in
which the regulated substance is used.
Under subsection (i)(3) a person may
petition the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) to promulgate a rule for
the restriction on use of a regulated
substance 2 in a sector or subsector, and
the Act states that the petition shall
include a request that the Administrator
negotiate with stakeholders in
accordance with subsection (i)(2)(A).
Once EPA receives a petition, the AIM
Act directs the Agency to make petitions
publicly available within 30 days of
receipt and to grant or deny the petition
within 180 days of receipt, taking the
factors listed in subsection (i)(4) into
account to the extent practicable.
The Agency has received two
petitions under subsection (i) of the
AIM Act requesting that EPA
promulgate rules to restrict the use of
hydrofluorocarbons in certain
commercial refrigeration applications.3
These petitions were submitted by the
Air-conditioning, Heating, and
Refrigeration Institute, et. al (hereby,
‘‘AHRI’’) on March 24, 2022, and the
International Institute for Ammonia
Refrigeration, et. al (hereby, ‘‘IIAR’’) on
May 23, 2022. After reviewing
information provided by the petitioners
and relevant information related to the
‘‘Factors for Determination’’ in
subsection (i)(4) of the AIM Act, EPA
granted the two petitions.4 The March
24, 2022, and May 23, 2022, petitions
requested restrictions on the use of
HFCs in sectors and subsectors that
were also the subject of the petitions
that EPA granted on October 7, 2021.
EPA is also clarifying the treatment of
two letters AHRI sent to EPA on August
19, 2021, and October 12, 2021.5 EPA
initially included these letters on the
2 The Act provides that ‘‘regulated substance’’
refers to those substances included in the list of
regulated substances in subsection (c)(1) of the Act
and those substances that the Administrator has
designated as a regulated substance under
subsection (c)(3). Subsection (c)(1) lists 18 saturated
hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and by reference their
isomers not so listed, as regulated substances. This
is the current list of regulated substances, as no
additional substances have been designated as
regulated substances under subsection (c)(3).
3 Links to copies of these petitions and other
petitions received to date can be found in the table
at https://www.epa.gov/climate-hfcs-reduction/
petitions-under-aim-act. EPA has a docket (Docket
ID EPA–HQ–OAR–2021–0289–0044), where all
subsection (i) petitions are posted, and where the
public may submit information related to those
petitions.
4 The letters granting the two petitions are
available in the docket for this action.

milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or environmental
assessment (EA) for this proposal. The filing of an EA in the
Commission's public record for this proceeding or the issuance of a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review will serve to notify
federal and state agencies of the timing for the completion of all
necessary reviews, and the subsequent need to complete all federal
authorizations within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission
staff's FEIS or EA.

Public Participation
There are three ways to become involved in the Commission's review
of this project: you can file a protest to the project, you can file a
motion to intervene in the proceeding, and you can file comments on the
project. There is no fee or cost for filing protests, motions to
intervene, or comments. The deadline for filing protests, motions to
intervene, and comments is 5 p.m. eastern time on November 28, 2022.
How to file protests, motions to intervene, and comments is explained
below.
Protests
Pursuant to section 157.205 of the Commission's regulations under
the NGA,\2\ any person \3\ or the Commission's staff may file a protest
to the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed or if a
protest is filed and then withdrawn within 30 days after the allowed
time for filing a protest, the proposed activity shall be deemed to be
authorized effective the day after the time allowed for protest. If a
protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time
allowed for filing a protest, the instant request for authorization
will be considered by the Commission.

\3\ Persons include individuals, organizations, businesses,
municipalities, and other entities. 18 CFR 385.102(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Protests must comply with the requirements specified in section
157.205(e) of the Commission's regulations,\4\ and must be submitted by
the protest deadline, which is November 28, 2022. A protest may also
serve as a motion to intervene so long as the protestor states it also
seeks to be an intervenor.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interventions
Any person has the option to file a motion to intervene in this
proceeding. Only intervenors have the right to request rehearing of
Commission orders issued in this proceeding and to subsequently
challenge the Commission's orders in the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal.
To intervene, you must submit a motion to intervene to the
Commission in accordance with Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedure \5\ and the regulations under the NGA \6\ by the
intervention deadline for the project, which is November 28, 2022. As
described further in Rule 214, your motion to intervene must state, to
the extent known, your position regarding the proceeding, as well as
your interest in the proceeding. For an individual, this could include
your status as a landowner, ratepayer, resident of an impacted
community, or recreationist. You do not need to have property directly
impacted by the project in order to intervene. For more information
about motions to intervene, refer to the FERC website at https://www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/how-to/intervene.asp.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ 18 CFR 385.214.
\6\ 18 CFR 157.10.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
All timely, unopposed motions to intervene are automatically
granted by operation of Rule 214(c)(1). Motions to intervene that are
filed after the intervention deadline are untimely and may be denied.
Any late-filed motion to intervene must show good cause for being late
and must explain why the time limitation should be waived and provide
justification by reference to factors set forth in Rule 214(d) of the
Commission's Rules and Regulations. A person obtaining party status
will be placed on the service list maintained by the Secretary of the
Commission and will receive copies (paper or electronic) of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties.
Comments
Any person wishing to comment on the project may do so. The
Commission considers all comments received about the project in
determining the appropriate action to be taken. To ensure that your
comments are timely and properly recorded, please submit your comments
on or before November 28, 2022. The filing of a comment alone will not
serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. To become a party,
you must intervene in the proceeding.
