The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently issued its semi-annual regulatory agenda that outlined its rulemaking plans for the next several months. EPA said it plans to take action on several regulations pertaining to ozone-depleting substances (ODS).
The agency said it hopes to establish an allowance system for hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). In addition, it plans to create a system for allocation allowances in order to control HCFC consumption so that the cap will not be violated.
