Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: New Substitute in the Motor
Vehicle Air Conditioning Sector Under the Significant New Alternatives
Policy (SNAP) Program
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Significant New
Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program is expanding the list of acceptable
substitutes for use in the motor vehicle air conditioning end-use as a
replacement for ozone-depleting substances. The Clean Air Act requires
EPA to review alternatives for ozone-depleting substances and to
disapprove substitutes that present overall risks to human health and
the environment more significant than those presented by other
alternatives that are available or potentially available. The
substitute addressed in this final rule is for use in new passenger
cars and light-duty trucks in the motor vehicle air conditioning end-
use within the refrigeration and air conditioning sector. EPA finds
hydrofluoroolefin (HFO)-1234yf acceptable, subject to use conditions,
as a substitute for chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)-12 in motor vehicle air
conditioning for new passenger cars and light-duty trucks. The
substitute is a non-ozone-depleting gas and consequently does not
contribute to stratospheric ozone depletion.
DATES: This final rule is effective on May 31, 2011. The incorporation
by reference of certain publications listed in the rule is approved by
the Director of the Federal Register as of May 31, 2011.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2008-0664. All documents in the docket are listed on the
http://www.regulations.gov Web site. Although listed in the index, some
