Abstract: This ICR covers provisions under the American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act that establishes limits on total U.S. production and consumption of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs or regulated substances). To implement the AIM Act, EPA is proposing HFC phasedown regulations that establish control measures for individual companies. In accordance with the proposed rulemaking “Phasedown of Hydrofluorocarbons: Establishing the Allowance Allocation and Trading Program under the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act,” reporters will be required to electronically report data to EPA using an interactive, web-based tool called the Electronic Greenhouse Gas Reporting Tool (e-GGRT).
