Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 212 / Wednesday, November 1, 2000 / Notices 65313

requesting that for the year 2003 and

beyond, all NDA holders for MDIs to be

produced using EUAs, submit an

application to EPA for EUAs as

specified in this notice. Please note,

EPA will also consider applications

submitted jointly by contract fillers. In

the case where a contract filler produces

a portion of an NDA holder’s CFC MDIs,

the contract filler and the NDA holder

should work together to determine the

total amount of CFCs necessary to

produce the NDA holder’s entire

product line of CFC MDIs. The NDA

holder should also provide an estimate

of how the CFCs would be split between

the contract filler and the NDA holder

in the allocation year. This estimate will

be used only as a basis for determining

the nomination amount, and may be

adjusted prior to allocation of EUAs.

Since the U.S. government can not

forward incomplete or inadequate

nominations to the Ozone Secretariat, it

is important for applicants to provide all

information requested in the Handbook,

including the information specified in

the supplemental research and

development form (page 43). The

accounting framework matrix in the

Handbook titled ‘‘Table IV: Reporting

Accounting Framework for Essential

Uses Other Than Laboratory and

Analytical’’ requests data for the year

2000 on the amount of ODS exempted

for an essential use, the amount

acquired by production, the amount

acquired by import, the amount on hand

at the start of the year, the amount

available for use in 2000, the amount

used for the essential use, the quantity

contained in exported products, the

amount destroyed, and the amount on

hand at the end of the year. Because the

data necessary to complete Table IV will

not be available until after January 1,

2001, companies should not include

this chart with their EUA applications

in response to this notice. EPA plans to

send letters to each essential use

applicant requesting the information in

Table IV in the first 2 weeks of January

2001. Companies will have only

fourteen days in which to respond since

EPA must compile companies’

responses to complete the U.S. CFC

Accounting Framework for submission

to the Parties to the Montreal Protocol

by the end of January.

EPA anticipates that the 2001 review

by the Parties of MDI essential use

requests will focus extensively on

research efforts underway to develop

alternatives to CFC MDIs, on education

programs to inform patients and health

care providers of the CFC phaseout and

the transition to alternatives, and on

steps taken to minimize CFC use and

emissions including efforts to recapture

or reprocess the controlled substance.

Accordingly, applicants are strongly

advised to present detailed information

on these points, including the scope and

cost of such efforts and the medical and

patient organizations involved in the

work. Applicants can strengthen their

exemption requests by submitting a

complete set of education materials,

including copies of printed, electronic

or audio-visual tools. Applicants are

given notice that exemption requests

without adequate information on

research and education will not be

considered complete.

Applicants should submit their

exemption requests to EPA as noted in

the ADDRESSES section at the beginning

of today’s notice.
