Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Updates to HCFC Trade Language 
as Applied to Article 5 Countries; Ratification Status of Parties to 
the Montreal Protocol; and Harmonized Tariff Schedule Commodity Codes

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is issuing this 
direct final rule to update: Regulations governing trade of HCFCs to 
reflect that HCFC control measures have now taken effect for Parties 
operating under Article 5 of the Montreal Protocol; references to Party 
ratification status; commodity codes for ozone depleting substances to 
address changes made in 2012 by the U.S. International Trade 
Commission; and other minor provisions. We are making these revisions 
to ensure that EPA regulations are consistent with the United States 
obligations under Montreal Protocol and the Clean Air Act, to ensure 
that companies importing ozone-depleting substances refer to accurate 
commodity codes, and to streamline and clarify regulatory content.

DATES: This direct final rule is effective on June 24, 2014 without 
further notice, unless EPA receives adverse comment by April 25, 2014. 
If we receive adverse comment, we will publish a timely withdrawal in 
the Federal Register informing the public that this rule will not take 
effect.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Montreal Protocol bans trade with any 
country that has not agreed to be bound by the control measures in 
effect for that substance, unless the country meets certain 
requirements that will be discussed later in this preamble. As of 
January 1, 2013, Parties operating under Article 5 paragraph 1 of the 
Montreal Protocol (Article 5 countries) are subject to a freeze on 
production and consumption of HCFCs. In this action, EPA is bringing 
its stratospheric ozone protection regulations up to date to indicate 
that the existing trade provisions now apply to Article 5 countries. 
This document provides current information on the ratification \1\ 
status of Article 5 countries. This action is necessary to ensure that 
our regulations conform to United States obligations as a Party to the 
Montreal Protocol and with the requirements of Title VI of the Clean 
Air Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ In this document, we use ``ratification'' to mean the 
deposit of an instrument of ratification, acceptance, or approval.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The U.S. International Trade Commission is responsible for 
publishing the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS). 
The HTS provides the applicable tariff rates and statistical categories 
for all merchandise imported into the United States. It is based on the 
international Harmonized System, the global system of nomenclature that 
is used to describe most world trade in goods. Revisions made in 2012 
affected the commodity codes (also known as HTS codes) for ozone 
depleting substances. This action updates the commodity codes in our 
regulations so that they coincide with the ones currently in effect and 
in use by the U.S. International Trade Commission.
    EPA is publishing this rule without a prior proposed rule because 
we view this as a noncontroversial action and anticipate no adverse 
comment. However, in the ``Proposed Rules'' section of today's Federal 
Register, we are publishing a separate document that will serve as the 
proposed rule for the revisions discussed in this action if adverse 
comments are received on this direct final rule. We will not institute 
a second comment period on this action. Any stakeholders interested in 
commenting must do so at this time. For further information about 
commenting on this rule, see the ADDRESSES section of this document.
    If EPA receives adverse comment, we will publish a timely 
withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that this 
direct final rule will not take effect. We would address all public 
comments in any subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule.

II. Update to Regulations Concerning HCFC Trade Restrictions for 
Article 5 Countries

A. What does the Montreal Protocol say about trade restrictions?

    The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer 
(Montreal Protocol) is the international agreement aimed at reducing 
and eventually eliminating the production and consumption of 
stratospheric ozone-depleting substances (ODS). The United States was 
one of the original signatories to the 1987 Montreal Protocol and the 
United States ratified the Protocol in 1988. Congress then enacted, and 
President George H.W. Bush signed into law, the Clean Air Act 
Amendments of 1990 (CAAA), which included Title VI on Stratospheric 
Ozone Protection, codified as 42 U.S.C. Chapter 85, Subchapter VI, to 
ensure that the United States could satisfy its obligations under the 
Montreal Protocol.
    The 1990 London Amendment to the Montreal Protocol identified HCFCs 
as transitional substances to serve as temporary, lower ozone-depletion 
potential (ODP) substitutes for chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other 
more destructive ODS. The Parties agreed in the 1992 Copenhagen 
Amendment to the Montreal Protocol to phase out HCFCs, beginning with a 
cap on consumption for developed countries (also referred to as Article 
2 countries). Countries operating under Article 5 of the Montreal 
Protocol (also referred to as Article 5 countries or developing 
nations) were entitled to delay instituting control measures for ten 
years. While the 1992 Copenhagen Amendment did not cap HCFC production, 
the Parties did establish a cap on production and added trade 
restrictions through the Beijing Amendment agreed upon in 1999 at the 
11th Meeting of the Parties. The same ten-year delay in instituting 
control measures was applied to Article 5 countries. In 2007, at the 
19th Meeting of the Parties in Montreal, Canada, the Parties agreed to 
more aggressively phase out HCFCs and accelerate the freeze on their 
production and consumption of HCFCs in Article 5 countries by three 
years, such that it would take effect January 1, 2013, instead of 
January 1, 2016.
    Article 4 of the Montreal Protocol governs control of trade with 
non-Parties. Parties to the Beijing Amendment agreed, under paragraphs 
1 quin. and 2 quin. of Article 4 of the Protocol, beginning in January 
1, 2004, to ban HCFC imports from and exports to ``any State not party 
to this Protocol.'' Paragraph 9 of Article 4 of the Protocol indicates 
that the term ``State not party to this Protocol'' shall include, with 
respect to a particular controlled substance, a State or regional 
economic integration organization that has not agreed to be bound by 
the control measures in effect for that substance. Paragraph 8 of 
Article 4 provides an exception to the trade ban if ``that State is 
determined, by a meeting of the Parties, to be in full compliance with 
Article 2, Articles 2A to 2I [the control measures] and this Article, 
and have submitted data to that effect as specified in Article 7.''
    As a result of the acceleration of the HCFC commitments made in 
2007 at the 19th Meeting of the Parties, HCFC control measures came 
into effect for Article 5 countries January 1, 2013. Therefore, under 
Article 4 of the Montreal Protocol, trade is prohibited between any 
Party to the Beijing Amendment and any Article 5 country that has not 
ratified the Beijing Amendment, unless the Article 5 country meets the 
exception contained in Article 4 paragraph 8.\2\ The United States is a 
Party to the Beijing Amendment and therefore must comply with this 
trade prohibition. The purpose of this direct final rule is to update 
the EPA's regulations on trade in HCFCs to reflect their application to 
Article 5 countries.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Currently, four Article 5 countries have not ratified the 
Beijing Amendment: Kazakhstan, Libya, Mauritania, and Saudi Arabia. 
None of these countries has been determined to be in compliance with 
the Beijing Amendment pursuant to Article 4 paragraph 8.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. What do the Clean Air Act and EPA's Regulations say about trade 
restrictions?

    Section 614(b) of the Clean Air Act, as amended, clarifies and 
confirms the authority and responsibility of the EPA Administrator to 
implement the United States' obligations under the Montreal Protocol, 
specifically addressing the Administrator's authority to implement the 
Protocol's trade provisions. As a conflict of laws provision, section 
614(b) provides in relevant part that in the case of conflict between 
any provision of the Clean Air Act and any provision of the Montreal 
Protocol, the more stringent provision shall govern. In addition, that 
subsection indicates that nothing in Title VI of the Act shall detract 
from the Administrator's authority to implement the Article 4 trade 
restrictions. Thus, section 614(b) implicitly assumes that the agency 
has the authority to implement the trade provisions of the Protocol.
    Implementation of the Protocol's HCFC trade provisions through EPA 
regulations helps safeguard the ozone layer. By preventing trade with 
foreign states that are not party to or do not comply with the HCFC 
control measures, these provisions help prevent HCFC production and 
consumption that does not take place under the Protocol's phaseout 
regime. Ultimately, these trade restrictions under the Protocol 
safeguard against trade undermining the production, consumption, and 
phaseout regime contemplated by both the Clean Air Act and the Montreal 
Protocol.
    To implement the HCFC provisions of the Montreal Protocol, EPA 
established an allowance system to control the U.S. consumption of 
HCFCs and published the implementing regulations in the Federal 
Register on January 21, 2003 (68 FR 2820). The HCFC allowance system is 
part of EPA's Clean Air Act program to phase out ozone-depleting 
substances to protect the stratospheric ozone layer. Protection of the 
stratospheric ozone layer helps reduce rates of skin cancer and 
cataracts, as well as other health and ecological effects. The U.S. is 
obligated under the Montreal Protocol to limit HCFC consumption and 
production to a specific level and, using stepwise reductions, to 
decrease the specific level culminating in a complete HCFC phaseout in 
2030.
    EPA's regulations also include provisions at 40 CFR 82.15(e) to 
implement the ban on trade with countries not Party to the Protocol. 
The EPA adopted section 82.15(e)(3) as currently drafted in 2004, at a 
time when the HCFC control measures for Article 5 countries were still 
well in the

[[Page 16683]]

future. This provision reflected the Parties' 2003 agreement in 
Decision XV/3 that ``State not party to this Protocol'' in Article 4, 
paragraph 9 does not apply to those States operating under Article 5, 
paragraph 1, of the Protocol until January 1, 2016 when, in accordance 
with the Copenhagen and Beijing Amendments, hydrochlorofluorocarbon 
production and consumption control measures will be in effect for 
States that operate under Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Protocol.'' At 
that time, January 1, 2016, was the date on which the first control 
measure for Article 5 countries, a production and consumption freeze, 
was to go into effect. Under the 1997 Montreal Amendment, Article 5 
countries became subject to a consumption and production freeze on 
January 1, 2016 (Art. 5 para. 8 ter). In 2007, the Parties adopted 
Decision XIX/6, which replaced the reference to 2016 in Decision XV/9 
with the new freeze date, 2013.
    The regulatory trade provisions concerning HCFCs are now outdated 
in several respects. Section 82.15(e)(3), which describes the past 
status of Article 5 countries, is now obsolete because Article 5 
countries are currently subject to HCFC control measures. Furthermore, 
section 82.15(e)(2) refers to a specific procedure associated with a 
March 2004 deadline. In addition, the various Appendix C annexes 
referenced in section 82.15(e) have not been updated since 2004.

C. Today's Action

    This rule updates section 82.15(e) to reflect that the trade ban 
applies to Article 5 countries not party to the HCFC control measures 
except to the extent that the Article 5 country is complying with the 
Beijing Amendment as provided in Article 4, paragraph 8 of the Montreal 
Protocol. Because all Parties are now subject to HCFC control measures, 
there is no longer any need to have a separate regulatory provision for 
Article 5 countries. The revised language applies to both Article 5 and 
non-Article 5 countries. In addition, EPA is removing from section 
82.15(e)(2) the reference to a specific process and instead using the 
defined term ``foreign state complying with,'' which is discussed in 
Section III.B of this notice. EPA is also removing the references to 
Appendix C, as discussed in Section III of this notice, and advises 
readers to consult the Ozone Secretariat's Web site for updates 
regarding the status of specific countries.

III. Remove Appendix C Listing Ratification Status of Parties and 
Remove References to Appendix C

    Today's action removes Appendix C of Subpart A, which contains 
lists of Parties to the Montreal Protocol and their ratification 
status, because the information is outdated and in part duplicative of 
other Appendices. This rule also updates several regulatory provisions 
to remove references to Appendix C.

A. Removing Appendix C to Subpart A of Part 82

    This action removes Appendix C to Subpart A of Part 82 in its 
entirety. This appendix contains information on Parties to the Montreal 
Protocol, and nations complying with, but not Parties to, the Protocol. 
It consists of four Annexes: (1) Parties to the Montreal Protocol (as 
of January 29, 2003); (2) Nations Complying with, But Not Parties to, 
the Protocol; (3) Nations that are Parties to the Montreal Protocol 
that have not yet Ratified all applicable Amendments to the Protocol 
but have Notified the Ozone Secretariat and Properly Submitted 
Supporting Documentation in Accordance with the Requirements of 
Decision XV/3; and (4) Nations That Are Parties to the Montreal 
Protocol and Are Operating Under Article 5(1).
    Annex 1 contains a detailed matrix that lists Parties to the 
Montreal Protocol along with information on whether they had ratified 
specific amendments as of January 29, 2003. For updates to ratification 
status, Annex 1 currently refers to the Montreal Protocol Ozone 
Secretariat's Web site at: http://www.unep.org/ozone/ratif.shtml. EPA 
is no longer going to attempt to maintain the ratification status of 
Parties to the Protocol in our regulations. Ratification status can 
easily become outdated and updates to the regulations to reflect such 
changes are resource intensive and may be untimely. Furthermore, the 
public is increasingly relying on the Internet to find information. EPA 
believes that pointing readers to the Ozone Secretariat's Web site and 
removing Annex 1 of Appendix C will ensure that the public is using the 
most accurate and current information.
    Annex 2 currently contains no information, but rather, is reserved 
to capture any and all ``Nations Complying with, But Not Party to, the 
Protocol.'' The same rationale for removing Annex 1 applies to Annex 2. 
This rule removes Annex 2 and updates our regulations to advise readers 
to consult the Ozone Secretariat's Web site for Parties' ratification 
status as well as identification of any country that is in compliance 
with, but not party to, the Montreal Protocol.
    Annex 3 contains a matrix detailing information that has become 
obsolete. Specifically, Annex 3 details information regarding any State 
not operating under Article 5, that at the time of publication, had not 
ratified the Copenhagen and/or the Beijing Amendment, but had followed 
procedures set forth in Decision XV/3 to implement the exception in 
Article 4, Paragraph 8. As explained above, EPA has decided against 
attempting to maintain current ratification or compliance status in our 
regulations. For this reason, this rule removes Annex 3 of Subpart A of 
Part 82.
    Annex 4 contains a list of countries operating under Article 5 of 
the Montreal Protocol. Appendix E of Subpart A also lists Article 5 
countries and EPA sees no reason to maintain both. Therefore, this rule 
removes Annex 4 of Appendix C and updates Appendix E.

B. Revising Definitions Found in 40 CFR 82.3 Referring to Appendix C

    Section 82.3 contains definitions for Subpart A. Several of those 
definitions contain references to Appendix C. EPA is amending those 
definitions by removing those references and advising readers to 
consult the Ozone Secretariat's Web site. This rule also updates those 
definitions, as necessary, to include references to the Beijing 
Amendment.
    Foreign state complying with. EPA is adding a definition for 
``Foreign state complying with.'' This replaces the definition of 
``Complying with the Protocol,'' which is being removed from the list 
of definitions. The new definition uses phrasing more consistent with 
the existing definition of ``Foreign state not Party to or Non-Party.'' 
This new definition is similar to the old definition of ``Complying 
with the Protocol'' but adds a reference to the Beijing Amendment and 
removes the reference to appendix C.
    Complying with the Protocol. As mentioned above, EPA is removing 
this definition from section 82.3.
    Nations complying with, but not joining, the Protocol. This 
definition is simply a reference to Appendix C, annex 2. EPA is 
therefore removing this definition.
    Foreign state not Party to or Non-Party. This rule adds the Beijing 
Amendment to the list of amendments referenced in this definition.
    Party. EPA is revising this definition to remove the reference to 
Appendix C and to advise readers to consult the

[[Page 16684]]

Ozone Secretariat's Web site for ratification status. EPA is also 
revising the wording to be consistent with the wording for the 
definition of ``Foreign state not Party to or Non-Party.''

C. Removing References to Appendix C Found in 40 CFR 82.4

    Section 82.4 contains prohibitions for class I controlled 
substances. Several of the class I prohibitions refer to Annex 1 of 
Appendix C (Parties to the Montreal Protocol) and Annex 2 of Appendix C 
(Nations complying with, but not Party to the Protocol). Generally, the 
class I regulations prohibit trade of class I controlled substances 
with foreign states unless that foreign state is a Party to the 
relevant control measures (as noted in Appendix C, Annex 1) or has been 
found in compliance with them (as noted in Appendix C, Annex 2). The 
ratification status listed in Annex 1 of Appendix C is outdated. 
Furthermore, there are no Parties listed in Annex 2 of Appendix C. 
While class I ozone-depleting substances are completely phased out and 
production and import are allowed only under limited exceptions, EPA 
does not want to maintain references to Appendix C when that Appendix 
is being removed in today's action.
    EPA is revising section 82.4(l) paragraphs (1) through (6) to 
remove the references to Appendix C and to advise readers to consult 
the Ozone Secretariat's Web site.

D. Removing References to Appendix C Found in 40 CFR 82.15

    Section 82.15 contains prohibitions for class II controlled 
substances. Certain provisions in section 82.15 refer to Appendix C. As 
explained above, Appendix C is being removed through this action.
    EPA is revising section 82.15(c) ``Production with Article 5 
Allowances'' to change the reference therein from ``Annex 4 of Appendix 
C'' to ``Appendix E.'' As revised through this action, Appendix E 
contains the current list of Article 5 Parties and advises readers to 
consult the Ozone Secretariat's Web site for updates.
    Section 82.15(e)(1), (2), and (3), which are provisions related to 
trade with foreign states, refer to Appendix C. This rule revises the 
section 82.15(e) trade provisions for the reasons discussed in Section 
II. EPA notes here that this revision also removes the references to 
Appendix C.

E. Removing References to Appendix C Found in 40 CFR 82.18

    Section 82.18(a) apportions Article 5 allowances for class II 
substances. Today's action removes the references in that section to 
Annex 4 of Appendix C and replaces them with references to Appendix E.
    Section 82.18(c) addresses ``International trades of production 
allowances, export production allowances and Article 5 allowances.'' 
Today's action revises section 82.18(c)(1) to conform to the changes 
being made to section 82.15(e) concerning trades with parties. In part, 
the revision removes references to Appendix C. In addition, EPA is 
removing obsolete references to Appendix L. Appendix L currently 
relates only to approved critical uses of methyl bromide and has no 
relationship to international trades.

IV. Updating Appendix E

    Appendix E contains a list of countries operating under Article 5 
of the Montreal Protocol. EPA last updated this appendix on December 
15, 2009. South Sudan become a Party to the Protocol in January 2012 
and ratified all four amendments in October 2012. South Sudan is listed 
on the Ozone Secretariat's Web site as having a temporary 
categorization as an Article 5 country pending submission of ODS 
consumption data. EPA is adding it to Appendix E with a footnote 
indicating this contingency. Per Decision XXV/16, Croatia has changed 
its status under the Montreal Protocol and is no longer an Article 5 
country. Therefore, today's action removes Croatia from Appendix E. 
Other minor updates to Appendix E include referring to Bolivia as 
``Bolivia (Plurinational State of)'', Moldova as ``Moldova (Republic 
of)'', Libya as ``Libya'' as opposed to Libya (Arab Jamahiriya) and 
Venezuela as ``Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of).'' These changes 
harmonize Appendix E with the list available on the Ozone Secretariat's 
Web site. While a valuable reference, the list in Appendix E can become 
outdated as changes occur to the list maintained by the Ozone 
Secretariat. Therefore, in addition to updating the list, today's 
action revises Appendix E to advise readers to consult the Ozone 
Secretariat's Web site for updates: http://ozone.unep.org/new_site/en/parties_under_article5_para1.php.

V. Updating Commodity Codes for Ozone-Depleting Substances

    The international Harmonized System, administered by the World 
Customs Organization, is the global system of nomenclature that is used 
to describe most world trade in goods. The U.S. International Trade 
Commission is responsible for publishing the Harmonized Tariff Schedule 
of the United States Annotated (HTS).\3\ The HTS provides the 
applicable tariff rates and statistical categories for all merchandise 
imported into the United States.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The most recent version of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of 
the United States Annotated can be found at: http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/index.htm.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In 1998, EPA began requiring that importers of controlled 
substances use specific HTS codes listed in Appendix K of subpart A to 
40 CFR part 82 (63 FR 41638, August 4, 1998). For class II substances, 
the relevant reporting and recordkeeping requirements appear at 
sections 82.24(c)(1)(iii) and 82.24(c)(2)(viii), respectively. U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection regulations require importers to properly 
identify the contents of a shipment, including the use of a proper 
commodity code from the HTS. EPA's rationale for requiring importers of 
ODS to include specific commodity codes in their part 82 recordkeeping 
and reporting was to improve compliance with stratospheric ozone 
protection regulations. EPA is able to crosscheck and monitor the entry 
data collected by Customs and compare it to the import data reported to 
EPA. Proper use of commodity codes from the current HTS continues to be 
important for EPA to monitor compliance.
    Revisions made in 2012 affected the commodity codes for ozone 
depleting substances, which are found in Chapter 29 of the HTS. A 
Change Record listing the changes made in 2012 is available in the 
docket. Today's action revises the commodity codes for ODS in Appendix 
K of Subpart A to reflect the relevant changes to the HTS. EPA is also 
taking this opportunity to organize the list of ODS by class I and 
class II for ease of reference.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive 
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review

    This action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under the 
terms of Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and is 
therefore not subject to review under Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 
(76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011).

B. Paperwork Reduction Act

    This action does not impose any new information collection burden. 
EPA already requires recordkeeping and reporting for ozone-depleting 
substances

[[Page 16685]]

and this action does not amend those provisions. The Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) has previously approved the information 
collection requirements contained in the existing regulations at 40 CFR 
part 82, subpart A under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 
44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. and has assigned OMB control number 2060-0498. 
The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 
40 CFR part 9.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) generally requires an agency 
to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to 
notice-and-comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative 
Procedure Act or any other statute, unless the agency certifies that 
the rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities. Small entities include small businesses, 
small organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions.
    We have considered the economic impacts of this rule on small 
entities. For purposes of assessing the impacts of this rule on small 
entities, a small entity is defined as: (1) A small business that is 
primarily engaged in industrial gas manufacturing as defined by NAICS 
codes 325120 with fewer than 1000 employees or engaged in wholesale of 
those gases as defined by NAICS codes 424620 with fewer than 100 
employees; (2) a small governmental jurisdiction that is a government 
of a city, county, town, school district or special district with a 
population of less than 50,000; and (3) a small organization that is 
any not-for-profit enterprise which is independently owned and operated 
and is not dominant in its field.
    After considering the economic impacts of today's final rule on 
small entities, I certify that this action will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The only 
provision of today's rule that has the potential to affect small 
entities is the update to the HCFC trade ban prohibiting the import or 
export of HCFCs to three countries. Based on data reported to EPA, 
there are fewer than half a dozen companies that have exported to these 
countries in the last few years and none are small businesses.
    Although this direct final rule will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities, EPA 
nonetheless has tried to reduce the impact of this rule on small 
entities. In 2013 and 2014, EPA sent a letter to all importers and 
exporters notifying them of the trade ban provisions in the Montreal 
Protocol.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    This action contains no Federal mandates under the provisions of 
Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), 2 U.S.C. 
1531-1538 for State, local, or tribal governments or the private 
sector. UMRA does not apply to rules that are necessary for the 
national security or the ratification or implementation of 
international treaty obligations. This rule updates the regulations to 
reflect the provisions of the Montreal Protocol related to trade with 
non-Parties. Other changes in this rule are to improve the accuracy and 
consistency of the regulations and have no to little impact on the 
regulated community. Therefore, this action is not subject to the 
requirements of sections 202 or 205 of the UMRA.
    This action is also not subject to the requirements of section 203 
of UMRA because it contains no regulatory requirements that might 
significantly or uniquely affect small governments. Potentially 
affected entities are not government entities but rather producers, 
importers, and exporters of HCFCs.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    This action does not have federalism implications. It does not have 
substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship between 
the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power 
and responsibilities among the various levels of government, as 
specified in Executive Order 13132. Potentially affected entities are 
not government entities but rather producers, importers, and exporters 
of HCFCs. Thus, Executive Order 13132 does not apply to this action.

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian 
Tribal Governments

    This action does not have tribal implications, as specified in 
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This action does 
not significantly or uniquely affect the communities of Indian tribal 
governments. It does not impose any enforceable duties on communities 
of Indian tribal governments. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not 
apply to this action.

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental 
Health and Safety Risks

    EPA interprets E.O. 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) as applying 
only to those regulatory actions that concern health or safety risks, 
such that the analysis required under section 5-501 of the E.O. has the 
potential to influence the regulation. This action is not subject to 
E.O. 13045 because it implements specific trade provisions already 
agreed upon and in effect under an international treaty.

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy 
Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355 
(May 22, 2001)), because it is not a significant regulatory action 
under Executive Order 12866.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act

    Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement 
Act of 1995 (``NTTAA''), Public Law 104-113, 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note) 
directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in its regulatory 
activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with applicable law or 
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical 
standards (e.g., materials specifications, test methods, sampling 
procedures, and business practices) that are developed or adopted by 
voluntary consensus standards bodies. The NTTAA directs EPA to provide 
Congress, through OMB, explanations when the Agency decides not to use 
available and applicable voluntary consensus standards. This action 
does not involve technical standards. Therefore, EPA did not consider 
the use of any voluntary consensus standards.

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental 
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations

    Executive Order (E.O.) 12898 (59 FR 7629, Feb. 16, 1994) 
establishes federal executive policy on environmental justice. Its main 
provision directs federal agencies, to the greatest extent practicable 
and permitted by law, to make environmental justice part of their 
mission by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, 
disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental 
effects of their programs, policies, and activities on minority 
populations and low-income populations in the U.S.
    EPA has determined that this action will not have 
disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental 
effects on minority or low-income populations because it increases the 
level of environmental

[[Page 16686]]

protection for all affected populations without having any 
disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental 
effects on any population, including any minority or low-income 
population. This action updates regulatory provisions related to the 
HCFC trade ban: The effect is to prohibit export of HCFCs to a small 
list of countries that are not Party to the Beijing Amendment to the 
Montreal Protocol.

K. Congressional Review Act

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the 
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally 
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating 
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule, 
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the 
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other 
required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of 
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior 
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A Major rule cannot 
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal 
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 
804(2). This rule will be effective June 24, 2014.
