40 CFR part 98.300
Federal Register Date Citation Action Description

12/24/2014 79 FR 77391 Correction Corrects final rule that appeared in the Federal Register on December 11, 2014 (79 FR 73750). The final rule amends the general provisions of the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule to establish chemical-specific and default global warming potentials (GWPs) for a number of fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-GHGs) and fluorinated heat transfer fluids (F-HTFs). The rule also includes conforming changes to the provisions for the Electronics Manufacturing and Fluorinated Gas Production source categories.

12/11/2014 79 FR 73750 Final Rule Finalizes amendments that add chemical-specific and default global warming potentials (GWPs) for fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-GHGs) and fluorinated heat transfer fluids (F-HTFs) to the general provisions of the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule, makes conforming changes to the provisions for the Electronics Manufacturing and Fluorinated Gas Production source categories, amends certain provisions of the Fluorinated Gas Production source category, and establishes confidentiality determinations for certain reporting requirements of the Fluorinated Gas Production source category.

Fact Sheet
Pending Pending Proposed Rule Proposes to establish chemical-specific and default global warming potentials (GWPs) for fluorinated greenhouse gases (GHGs) and fluorinated heat transfer fluids (HTFs) that are reported to the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) but that do not currently have GWPs under the Program. This would ensure that the atmospheric impacts of all fluorinated GHGs and HTFs are reflected in calculations and reporting under the GHGRP.
