Abstract: This information collection is necessary to implement the requirements of the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program for evaluating and regulating substitutes for ozone-depleting substances (ODS) being phased out under the stratospheric ozone protection provisions of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and globally under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. Under CAA section 612, EPA is authorized to identify and restrict the use of substitutes for class I and class II ODS (listed in 40 CFR part 82, subpart A, appendices A and B) where EPA determines other alternatives are available or potentially available that reduce overall risk to human health and the environment. Any producer of a new substitute must submit a notice of intent to introduce a substitute into interstate commerce 90 days prior to such introduction. The producer must also provide EPA with information covering a wide range of health and environmental factors. The EPA SNAP program then reviews proposed substitutes based on established riskassessment criteria and procedures set forth in associated regulations. Results are published in updated lists of acceptable and unacceptable substitutes sorted by end-use categories. Responses to the collection of information are mandatory under section 612 for anyone who sells or, in certain cases, uses substitutes for an E:\FR\FM\30JNN1.SGM 30JNN1
