Abstract: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Stratospheric Protection Division established the U.S. EPA Montreal Protocol Award (USMPA) program in 1990 to recognize outstanding contributions to the protection of the Earth's stratospheric ozone layer. It is named after the international treaty that aims to reverse erosion of the ozone layer by replacing and/or phasing out the production of ozone-depleting substances (ODS). Since 1990, EPA has presented more than 500 awards to outstanding individuals, teams, companies, organizations, and government institutions in 54 countries. Awards are particularly prestigious because nominees compete globally against the accomplishments of many other potential awardees, and recipients are selected by previous awardees and EPA. Participation in the program requires applicants (called nominees or nominators) to complete a nomination form that details the project or activity they believe is worthy of the USMPA award. EPA seeks nominations for the following accomplishments: originality and public purpose; leadership and corporate responsibility; global perspective and implication; actual elimination of ozone-depleting substance emissions; success in eliminating substances that deplete the ozone layer and contribute to climate change or in transitioning to alternatives with reduced environmental impact; or leadership in improving awareness of the harmful health effects of overexposure to ultraviolet radiation.
