Phasedown of Hydrofluorocarbons:
Notice of Information Availability for
Regulations Implementing the
American Innovation and
Manufacturing Act
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The purpose of this notice is
to alert stakeholders that the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
has published frequently asked
questions related to the regulations
implementing the American Innovation
and Manufacturing Act. While the
questions broadly cover topics on
hydrofluorocarbons, the Act itself, and
the three new programs established
under the Act, the majority of these new
and updated frequently asked question
are related to the Technology
Transitions program restrictions on the
use of certain hydrofluorocarbons. The
Agency has published and continues to
update these frequently asked questions
in the Frequent Questions on the
Phasedown of Hydrofluorocarbons web
area and in the existing rulemaking
docket.
DATES: October 28, 2024.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Protection Agency, Stratospheric
Protection Division, telephone number:

SUMMARY:
I. Background
The American Innovation and
Manufacturing (AIM) Act of 2020 was
enacted on December 27, 2020, and
codified at 42 U.S.C. 7675. The AIM Act
authorizes EPA to address climatedamaging hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) by
providing new authorities in three main
areas: to phase down the production
and consumption of listed HFCs,
manage these HFCs and their
substitutes, and facilitate the transition

to next-generation technologies through
sector-based restrictions. Since the AIM
Act was enacted, EPA has finalized a
number of rulemakings that implement
the AIM Act through three regulatory
programs: the HFC Allowance
Allocation Program, the Technology
Transitions Program, and the Emissions
Reduction and Reclamation Program.
EPA has provided information to
stakeholders about these three programs
through our frequently asked questions
web page.
The majority of the questions and
responses relate to the Technology
Transitions final rule published on
October 24, 2023 (88 FR 73098). This
rule facilitates sector-based transitions
to next-generation technologies, as
specified in the AIM Act. The rule
limits the use of HFCs in specific
technology sectors and subsectors, such
as foams, aerosols, and refrigeration, air
conditioning, and heat pumps. In most
subsectors, EPA set a maximum global
warming potential (GWP) limit on HFCs
or HFC blends that can be used in new
products and equipment. In a few
subsectors, EPA listed the specific HFCs
or HFC blends that are restricted.
Compliance dates and GWP limits vary
based on sector and subsector. The rule
requires that new products and
components using HFCs be labeled and
that companies that manufacture or
import such products or components
using HFCs report information to EPA.
Since the publication of the various
AIM Act rulemakings, EPA has posted
information for stakeholders in
question-and-answer form to help
stakeholders understand key aspects of
these the rules across regulatory
programs. To maintain transparency and
ensure consistency, EPA has been
providing answers to common
stakeholder inquiries in the form of
frequently asked questions.
II. What information is available and
where is it located?
EPA has published these frequently
asked questions in the Frequent
Questions on the Phasedown of
Hydrofluorocarbons web page, available
at: https://www.epa.gov/climate-hfcsreduction/frequent-questionsphasedown-hydrofluorocarbons. EPA
has also entered a document with the
same title and content as the web page
noted above in the rulemaking docket
titled ‘‘Restrictions on Certain Uses of
Hydrofluorocarbons under Subsection
(i) of the American Innovation and
Manufacturing Act.’’ This docket can be
accessed on Regulations.gov using
Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2021–
0643. EPA intends to update the list of
questions and answers on the website
