Proposed Information Collection
Request; Comment Request; The
National Refrigerant Recycling and
Emissions Reduction Program
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is planning to submit an
information collection request (ICR) for
‘‘The National Refrigerant Recycling and
Emissions Reduction Program’’ (EPA
ICR No. 1626.12, OMB Control No.
2060–0256) to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for review and
approval in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.). Before doing so, EPA is
soliciting public comments on specific
aspects of the proposed information
collection as described below. This is a
proposed extension of the ICR, which is
currently approved through November
30, 2014. An Agency may not conduct
or sponsor and a person is not required
to respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before September 12, 2014.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,
referencing Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–
OAR–2010–1016 online using
www.regulations.gov (our preferred
method), by email to a-and-r-docket@
epa.gov or by mail to: EPA Docket
Center, Environmental Protection
Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200
Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington,
DC 20460.
EPA’s policy is that all comments

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Supporting documents which explain in
detail the information that the EPA will
be collecting are available in the public
docket for this ICR. The docket can be
viewed online at www.regulations.gov
or in person at the EPA Docket Center,

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments
and information to enable it to: (i)
evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (ii) evaluate the
accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (iv) minimize the burden
of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses. EPA will consider the
comments received and amend the ICR
as appropriate. The final ICR package
will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval. At that time, EPA
will issue another Federal Register
notice to announce the submission of
the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to
submit additional comments to OMB.
Abstract: EPA developed regulations
under the Clean Air Act Amendments of
1990 (CAA) regarding the use and
disposal of class I and class II ozonedepleting substances used as
refrigerants during the service,
maintenance, repair, or disposal of
refrigeration and air-conditioning
equipment. Section 608(c) of the CAA
states that it is unlawful for any person
in the course of maintaining, servicing,
repairing, or disposing of refrigeration
or air-conditioning equipment to
knowingly vent or otherwise knowingly
release or dispose of class I or class II
substance used as a refrigerant in the
equipment in a manner which permits
the substance to enter the environment.

Jkt 232001

In 1993, EPA promulgated regulations
under section 608 of the CAA for the
recycling of ozone-depleting refrigerants
recovered during servicing and disposal
of air-conditioning and refrigeration
equipment. These regulations were
published on May 14, 1993 (58 FR
28660) and codified in 40 CFR part 82,
subpart F (§ 82.150 et seq.).
The regulations require persons
servicing refrigeration and airconditioning equipment to observe
service practices that reduce emissions
of ozone depleting refrigerants. The
regulations also establish certification
programs for technicians, recycling and
recovery equipment, and off-site
refrigerant reclaimers. In addition, EPA
requires that ozone depleting
refrigerants contained ‘‘in bulk’’ in
appliances be removed prior to disposal
of the appliances, and that all
refrigeration and air-conditioning
equipment (except for small appliances
and room air conditioners) be provided
with a servicing aperture that facilitates
recovery of the refrigerant. Moreover,
the Agency requires that substantial
refrigerant leaks in equipment be
repaired when discovered. These
regulations significantly reduce
emissions of ozone depleting
refrigerants and therefore aid efforts to
minimize damage to the ozone layer.
To facilitate compliance with section
608, EPA requires reporting and record
keeping for technicians; technician
certification programs; equipment
testing organizations; refrigerant
wholesalers and purchasers; refrigerant
reclaimers; refrigeration and airconditioning equipment owners; and
other establishments that perform
refrigerant removal, service, or disposal.
The recordkeeping requirements and
submission of reports to EPA occur on
an annual, biannual, one-time or
occasional basis depending on the
nature of the reporting entity and the
length of time the entity has been in
service. Specific reporting and
recordkeeping requirements were
published in 58 FR 28660 and codified
under 40 CFR part 82, subpart F
(i.e.,§ 82.166). These reporting and
recordkeeping requirements help EPA
evaluate the effectiveness of refrigerant
regulations and reduce emissions of
ozone-depleting substances.
Form Numbers: None
Respondents/affected entities: Entities
potentially affected are those that
recover, recycle, reclaim, sell or
distribute in interstate commerce ozonedepleting refrigerants that contain
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) or
hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs);
those that service, maintain, repair, or
dispose of appliances containing CFC or

HCFC refrigerants; and those that own
or operate appliances containing more
than 50 pounds of CFC or HCFC
refrigerants.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory
Estimated number of respondents:
883,680.
Frequency of response: Primarily
annually, with the exception of
technician testing organizations that are
required to report biannually.
Total estimated burden: 320,537
Total estimated cost: $14,202,991
Changes in Estimates: There is a slight
increase in the average annual burden
hours currently identified in the OMB
Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens.
