Abstract
In
1992,
EPA
developed
regulations
under
Section
609
of
the
Clean
Air
Act
Amendments
of
1990
(
the
Act)
for
the
recycling
of
chlorofluorocarbons
in
motor
vehicle
air
conditioners
(
MVACs).
The
regulations
were
published
in
57
FR
31240,
and
are
codified
at
40
CFR
Subpart
B
(
Section
82.30
et
seq.).
The
regulations
establish
standards
and
requirements
for
the
servicing
of
MVACs
that
use
any
refrigerant
other
than
CFC­
12.
The
information
requested
for
all
entities
that
service
motor
vehicle
air
conditioning
is
required
by
Section
609(
d)
of
the
Act.
Proposed
automotive
technician
certification
programs
are
required
to
be
approved
by
EPA
in
Section
609(
d)(
4).
Section
609(
b)(
2)(
A)
requires
the
approval
of
independent
laboratories
by
EPA.
The
submission
of
data
for
EPA
determination
of
substantially
identical
equipment
is
addressed
by
Section
609(
B)(
2)(
B).
The
recordkeeping
requirements
for
the
motor
vehicle
recycling
program
are
derived
from
Section

of
the
Act.
