IV. What is EPA taking comment on
and what supporting documentation do
I need to include in my comments?
EPA is accepting comments on
possible data gaps and areas where
additional information could improve
the Agency’s information outlined in
this notice and contained in the draft
report, Analysis of the U.S.
Hydrofluorocarbon Reclamation Market:
Stakeholders, Drivers, and Practices.
Specifically, EPA requests comment on
topics contained in the draft report,
including but not limited to:
• Current reclamation process,
practices, and technologies
• Supply chain of reclaimed refrigerants
(e.g., recovery, collection, stockpiling,
destruction)
• Costs of reclamation (e.g., price of
refrigerants, transport, storage,
operating costs of reclamation
systems)
• Incentives for reclamation
• Safety of technicians and consumers
(e.g., outreach, best practices)
• Barriers and challenges to reclamation
(e.g., contamination and
accommodation of blends and
cylinders with mixed refrigerants,
market demand).
EPA is also interested in responses to
any of the following questions related to
this draft report, including but not
limited to:
• Current recovery and reclamation
practices, technologies, and trends:
Æ What are some major changes and/
or trends in reclamation technology and
equipment over the past 25 years?
Æ What are the current trends for the
price of refrigerants and how can this
affect reclamation and recovery?
Æ How do reclaimers address waste
oils, impurities, etc.?
Æ What type of equipment do
reclaimers use (e.g., off-the-shelf
reclamation equipment, modified offthe-shelf reclamation equipment,
custom-built equipment)?
Æ What are the current practices for
refrigerant recovery at equipment endof-life?
• Supply chain:
Æ What are the primary sources of
recovered refrigerant (technicians,
distributors, wholesalers, etc.)?
Stationary vs. motor vehicle air
conditioning systems?
Æ Are Original Equipment
Manufacturers (OEMs) purchasing
reclaimed HFCs for initial equipment
charge?
Æ Besides refrigeration and air
conditioning (e.g., fire suppression), are
there other sectors where reclaimed or
reprocessed HFCs are being used?
• Barriers and challenges to recovery
and reclamation:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:35 Oct 14, 2022
Jkt 259001
Æ What are major barriers to
increasing the amount of refrigerant
recovered and reclaimed? For example,
increasing the amount of reclaimed
material re-entering the market or the
increased use of reclaimed material in
other sectors (i.e., beyond refrigeration
and air conditioning)?
Æ What are the losses of refrigerant
during recovery and/or the reclamation
process (e.g., chronic leaking) and what
steps can be taken to minimize the
losses (e.g., best practices,
technologies)?
Æ How are multi-component
refrigerant blends handled during
recovery and/or the reclamation
process?
EPA requests that commenters
provide corrected information or
suggested language on the draft report,
along with the rationale as to why the
existing text was incorrect or
incomplete. In addition, please provide
any published studies or raw data
supporting your comments.

Supervision Policy Listening Sessions;
Request for Comments
National Space Council,
Executive Office of the President (EOP).
ACTION: Notice; request for comments.
AGENCY:
On 9 September 2022, Vice
President Kamala Harris, Chair of the
National Space Council, requested
Council Members to provide ‘‘a
proposal for the authorization and
supervision of commercial novel space
activities within 180 days[.]’’ The White
House National Space Council in the
Executive Office of the President is
organizing a series of virtual 2 hour
listening sessions to engage with
members of the public and learn about
novel space capabilities and innovative
missions, experiences with United
States regulatory bodies, and
approaches to mission authorization
and supervision that can evolve over
time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Perspectives gathered during the virtual
listening sessions will inform the
National Space Council as it develops a
whole-of-government framework that
provides a clear, predictable, and
flexible process in furtherance of the
United States Space Priorities
Framework (December 2021) which
states that ‘‘U.S regulations must
provide clarity and certainty for the
authorization and supervision of nongovernmental space activities, including
for novel activities such as on-orbit
services, orbital debris removal, spacebased manufacturing, commercial
human spaceflight, and recovery and
use of space resources.’’
Novel activities relate to those
missions/activities that are not directly
reviewed under existing regulatory
regimes, including assembly and
manufacturing, mining, and fueling
stations. Participants are invited to
share information about their
missions—the different phases from
cradle to grave as well the multiple
aspects of these phases. i.e. the
communications aspect, role of imagery
in operations, in-space safety protocols
such as conjunction assessment and
collision avoidance, and any others
participants believe are appropriate to
be considered.

Pursuant to Executive Order 14056
and Title V of Public Law 100–685,
National Space Council is soliciting
public input through these virtual
listening sessions to obtain information
and recommendations from a wide array
of stakeholders, including
representatives from diverse industries,
academia, other relevant organizations
and institutions, and the general public.
Virtual listening sessions will inform
National Space Council Members as
they develop applicable national space
policy as described herein.
The virtual listening sessions will
each focus on a specific theme, as
described below:
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
1. Session on Novel Space Capabilities:
14 November 2022, 1 to 3 p.m. ET
Commercial spaceflight technologies
in the United States have matured
significantly over the last decade. As a
direct result, the Unites States
commercial space sector has begun to
engage in a range of new activities in
outer space and is planning for many
more. Some of these activities are novel
in and of themselves, others are novel
because of who performs them or where,
while still others are novel
combinations of more established
activities.
In the United States Space Priorities
Framework (SPF), the Biden-Harris
Administration highlighted the
importance of an enabling policy and
regulatory environment to the nation’s
innovation ecosystem and its thriving
economic development.
U.S. regulations must provide clarity
and certainty for the authorization and
continuing supervision of nongovernmental space activities, including
for novel activities such as on-orbit
servicing, orbital debris removal, spacebased manufacturing, commercial
human spaceflight, and recovery and
use of space resources.
2. Session on Approaches for
Authorization & Supervision: 21
November 2022, 1 to 3 p.m. ET
Article VI of the Outer Space Treaty
obligates the United States to authorize
and provide continuous supervision for
the space activities of its nongovernmental entities. Authorization
refers to governmental permission to
perform a mission or activity and
supervision means ongoing
governmental oversight of some sort or
degree sufficient to ensure consistency
with the Outer Space Treaty. The goal
is a clear, predictable, and flexible
regulatory and policy environment for
private sector space activities that will
grow and evolve in response to
technological advancement and enable

continued sustainability of the space
environment. This requires
understanding of the operational phase
of these missions.
Participants are invited to share
information about their experiences and
opinions about obtaining authorization
to perform their current and planned
activities and if/how these activities are
being supervised, if current, and ideas
for supervision of planned missions, to
include incentives, monitoring,
reporting, and others.
Speakers will have 3 minutes each to
present comments and participants will
be allowed to provide further details
and perspectives in written format
within 45 days of this publication.
