Mr. Armas,

We are currently drafting a final version of the rule that proposed a
ban 

on the import/export of a/c components that are pre-charged with R-22,
as 

of January 1, 2010. EPA staff understands the time sensitivity of this 

important action.   We anticipate a final version of the rule to be 

published by late summer.  EPA will post a copy of the rule on-line 

(www.epa.gov/ozone/strathome.html) as soon as the final version can be 

made public.   Feel free to call me if you have specific questions.  

Regards,

Julius Banks

Dear Cindy:

As we approach the middle of this year, we prepare our purchases of 

imported

pre-charged R22 bearing equipment for the last quarter and will like to 

know

the final rule on this issue.  

As mentioned above, the product will be purchased for sales in the last

quarter of 2009; therefore, the new rule regarding pre-charged
appliances

will not have an impact.  However; imports are sometimes delayed and we

might have product coming in after January 1 2010.

Your comments are greatly appreciated.
