Distribution date: 23 May 2022 | Final date for Comment: 05 May 2025
TITLE: Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Listing of Substitutes Under the Significant New Alternatives Policy Program; Withdrawal of Proposed RuleAGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal and partial withdrawalSUMMARY: On 6 October 2021, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued a supplemental proposed rulemaking under the Significant New Alternatives Policy program to list certain substitutes to ozone- depleting substances in the foam blowing sector, extruded polystyrene: Boardstock and billet end-use, as acceptable, subject to narrowed use limits, from the effective date of a subsequent final rule until 1 January 2023. This followed EPA's 12 June 2020, initial proposal which proposed to list three foam blowing agents, which are hydrofluorocarbon blends, as acceptable. Taking into consideration information available to EPA since issuance of that initial proposal, EPA proposed narrowed use limits and time-limited use of the substitutes in the supplemental proposal. Based on further information available to EPA, EPA is now withdrawing the proposed listings for the three foam blowing agents described in the initial and supplemental proposals. This document summarizes the proposed listings and provides an explanation for the Agency's decision not to finalize the proposed actions.DATES: The U.S. EPA is withdrawing the proposed rule published on 6 October 2021 (86 FR 55549; FRL-7826.1-02-OAR); and is partially withdrawing the proposed rule published on 12 June 2020 (85 FR 35874; FRL-10009-66-OAR), by withdrawing the listings described in the table ("SUMMARY OF PROPOSED NEW LISTINGS FOR XPS FOAM BLOWING AGENT") published at 85 FR 35888-35889 on 12 June 2020, as of 20 May 2022.This proposed rule; withdrawal and partial withdrawal and previous actions notified under the symbol G/TBT/N/USA/1626 are identified by Docket Number EPA-HQ-OAR-2019-0698.
