Temporary R-22 Wiaver
EPA Issues a No Action Assurance Letter 

On January 7, 2013, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a No Action Assurance Letter to the manufacturers and importers of R-22, which now allows for the production and importation of the refrigerant.
 

Because the regulation responsible for governing the allocation of R-22 has not been finalized, manufacturers and importers were unable to make or bring new product into the United States (effective January 1, 2013), until this letter was received or the rule was finalized.

This No Action Assurance Letter is valid until December 31, 2013 or until the R-22 Allocation rule is finalized by the EPA, whichever comes first.

We’ve included a link to the actual copy of the letter below. Please feel free to call us if you have any questions.  888-834-0233
