  • 2024-29517 — Carbon Tetrachloride (CTC); Regulation Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
    💰
    Type:Rule
    Citation:89 FR 103512
    Reading Time:about 4 hours

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finalized a rule to address health risks from carbon tetrachloride (CTC) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). This rule will establish workplace safety requirements and prohibit certain manufacturing and commercial uses of CTC where evidence shows these uses have ceased. It also introduces recordkeeping and notification responsibilities. The rule supports broader environmental goals, like those in the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act and the Kigali Amendment, aimed at reducing substances harmful to the ozone layer.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA is making new rules to help keep people safe from a chemical called carbon tetrachloride (CTC). They want to make sure it's used safely at work and stop using it in ways that are not safe anymore.

  • 2024-29243 — Phasedown of Hydrofluorocarbons: Restrictions on the Use of HFCs Under the AIM Act in Variable Refrigerant Flow Air Conditioning Subsector
    💰
    Type:Rule
    Citation:89 FR 100381
    Reading Time:about 64 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued a final rule under the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act to extend the deadline for installing new variable refrigerant flow (VRF) air conditioning and heat pump systems that use specific hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). These systems can be installed until January 1, 2027, if their components were made or imported before January 1, 2026. An additional extension to January 1, 2028, is allowed for projects with building permits issued before October 5, 2023, approving the use of these HFCs. The aim is to give more time for the installation and avoid wasting unsold VRF system inventories.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA is letting people have more time to put in new air conditioners and heat pumps that use a special kind of gas called HFCs, so they don't waste the ones made or bought before a certain time. If a building plan was made before last October, they get even more time to finish the work.
