lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1

82.15 Prohibitions for class II controlled substances.

a
3 Effective October 1, 2022, no person may manufacture class II
controlled substances defined in 82.3
at a plant where HFC-23 byproduct is generated unless no more than 0.1
percent of HFC-23 generated is emitted as compared to the amount of class II
controlled substances intentionally manufactured on the facility line. Any captured HFC-23 must be employed for commercial use consistent with the requirements outlined in 40 CFR part 84
or destroyed using a technology approved by EPA for that purpose in 84.29. Where destruction occurs onsite at the plant where HFC-23 is generated, HFC-23 must be destroyed within 30 days of its generation.
Captured HFC-23 destroyed at a different plant than where it is generated must be destroyed within 90
days after its generation. In such instances, emissions during the transportation to and destruction at the different plant are included in the calculations of whether the manufacturer meets the 0.1 percent standard.
i Request for extension. A person may submit to the relevant Agency official a request for a six-month extension, with the possibility of one additional six-month extension of the October 1, 2022, compliance date. No entity may have a compliance date later than October 1, 2023.
ii Timing of request. The extension request must be submitted to EPA no later than August 1, 2022, for a first-time extension, or February 1, 2023, for a second extension.
iii Content of request. The extension request must contain the following information:
A Name of the plant submitting the request; contact information for a person at the plant; and the address of the plant.
B A description of the specific actions taken at the plant to improve HFC-23 control, capture, and destruction; the plans to meet the 0.1
percent HFC-23 limit including the expected date by which the equipment will be installed and operating; and verification that the plant has met all applicable reporting requirements under 40 CFR parts 82, 84, and 98.
iv Review of request. Starting on the first working day following receipt by the relevant Agency official of a complete request for extension, the official will initiate review of the

information submitted and take action within 30 working days.

3. Amend 82.24 by adding paragraph g to read as follows:
82.24 Recordkeeping and reporting requirements for class II controlled substances.

g Manufacturers of class II
controlled substances under 82.15a3. Any person who manufactures class II controlled substances under 82.15a3 during a control period must comply with the following recordkeeping and reporting requirements:
1 Reporting. Each manufacturer of a class II controlled substance under 82.15a3 must provide the Administrator with the following two reports as required in 82.24g1i and ii.
i Within 45 days of the effective date of the final rule, each manufacturer must provide the Administrator with a one-time report containing the information required in this paragraph g1i. Any changes to information required in this paragraph g1i must be reflected in a revision to the report to be submitted to EPA within 60 days of the changes.
A Information on the capacity to manufacture the intended chemical on the lines on which HFC-23 is generated.
B Description of actions taken at the plant to control the generation and emissions of HFC-23.
C Identification of approved destruction technology and its location intended for use for HFC-23 destruction.
D A copy of the destruction and removal efficiency report associated with the destruction technology.
ii For each quarter, each manufacturer must provide the Administrator with a report containing the information required in this paragraph g1ii.
A Production line data for the quarter on HFC-23 in kilograms on:
Emissions; generated; generated and captured; generated and captured for feedstock use in the United States;
generated and captured for destruction;
used for feedstock without prior capture; and destroyed without prior capture.
iii If captured HFC-23 is destroyed in a subsequent control period, within 45 days after destruction occurs, manufacturers must submit information to EPA indicating the HFC-23 has been destroyed.
iv If captured HFC-23 is destroyed at a different plant than where it is

generated, within 45 days after destruction occurs, manufacturers must submit information to EPA indicating the HFC-23 has been destroyed. Such report must include the date on which the HFC-23 was generated and the date on which the HFC-23 was destroyed.
v In developing any required report, the owner/operator of a plant that manufacturers class II controlled substances that generates HFC-23 must abide by the following monitoring and quality assurance and control provisions:
A To calculate the quantities of HFC-23 generated and captured for any use, generated and captured for destruction, used for feedstock without prior capture, and destroyed without prior capture, plants shall comply with the monitoring methods and quality assurance and control requirements set forth at 40 CFR 98.414 of this title and the calculation methods set forth at 98.413 of this title, except 98.414p of this title shall not apply.
B To calculate the quantity of HFC23 emitted, plants shall comply with the monitoring methods and quality assurance and control requirements set forth at 98.124 of this title and the calculation methods set forth at 98.123
