Abstract: This rule-related information collection request (ICR) is being proposed in accordance with the proposed rulemaking, Updates Related to the Use of Ozone-Depleting Substances as Process Agents. In the proposed rule, EPA is proposing to establish recordkeeping and reporting requirements for uses of ozone-depleting substances (ODS) as process agents and to update definitions to reflect current practice. Reporters subject to the proposed rule, if finalized, would be required to report information concerning these process agent uses, including consumption and emissions data, using the Ozone-Depleting Substances Tracking System (ODSTS), or another format specified by EPA.
