RE: Call with Excellence Industries 

On May 22, 2013, EPA staff participated in a conference call with Excellence Industries. EPA participants were Cindy Newberg, Tom Land, Dave Godwin, Sally Hamlin, and Melissa Fiffer.
This conference call was about the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Revision of the Venting Prohibition for Specific Refrigerant Substitutes (78 FR 21871). Dell Dahl, President of Excellence Industries, asked about whether the proposal considered venting hydrocarbons indoors, use of explosion-proof recovery equipment in other countries, and the status of equipment standards from standard-setting bodies such as UL and AHRI. 

EPA staff described the proposed rule and process for submitting comments.
