Phasedown of Hydrofluorocarbons: 

Notice of 2025 Allowance Allocations 

for Production and Consumption of 

Regulated Substances Under the 

American Innovation and 

Manufacturing Act of 2020, and Notice 

of Final Actions Establishing 

Administrative Consequences 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) has issued calendar year 

2025 allowances for the production and 

consumption of hydrofluorocarbons in 

accordance with the Agency’s 

regulations. This issuance of allowances 

is undertaken pursuant to the American 

Innovation and Manufacturing Act, 

which directs the Environmental 

Protection Agency by October 1 of each 

calendar year to determine the quantity 

of production and consumption 

allowances for the following calendar 

year. In this notice, the Agency is also 

providing notice of separate Agency 

actions previously taken to establish 

administrative consequences for specific 

entities. These previously finalized 

actions withheld, retired, or revoked the 

identified entities’ newly-issued 

calendar year 2025 allowances in 

accordance with the administrative 

consequence regulatory provisions. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Andy Chang, U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency, Stratospheric 

Protection Division, telephone number: 

202–564–6658; email address: 

chang.andy@epa.gov. You may also visit 

EPA’s website at https://www.epa.gov/ 

climate-hfcs-reduction for further 

information. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Subsection (e)(2)(D)(i) of the American 

Innovation and Manufacturing Act of 

2020 (AIM Act) directs the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

to determine, by October 1 of each 

calendar year, the quantity of 

allowances for the production and 

consumption of regulated substances 

that may be used for the following 

calendar year. EPA has codified the 

production and consumption baselines 

and phasedown schedules for regulated 

substances in 40 CFR 84.7. Under the 

phasedown schedule, for 2025, total 

production allowances may not exceed 

229,521,263 metric tons of exchange 

value equivalent (MTEVe) and total 

consumption allowances may not 

exceed 181,522,990 MTEVe. 

EPA regulations at 40 CFR part 84, 

subpart A, outline the process by which 

the Agency determines the number of 

allowances each entity is allocated. EPA 

allocated allowances consistent with the 

regulatory requirements, and has posted 

entity-specific allowance allocations on 

its website at https://www.epa.gov/ 

climate-hfcs-reduction. An allowance 

allocated under the AIM Act does not 

constitute a property right and is a 

limited authorization for the production 

or consumption of a regulated 

substance. 

Note that while allowances may be 

transferred or conferred once they are 

allocated, they can only be expended to 

cover imports and production in the 

calendar year for which they are 

allocated. In other words, calendar year 

2025 allowances may only be expended 

for production and import of bulk HFCs 

between January 1, 2025, and December 

31, 2025. 

Application-Specific Allowances 

EPA established the methodology for 

issuing application-specific allowances 

in the 2021 final rule titled Phasedown 

of Hydrofluorocarbons: Establishing the 

Allowance Allocation and Trading 

Program Under the American 

Innovation and Manufacturing Act (86 

FR 55116, Oct. 5, 2021) and codified the 

methodology for allocations in 40 CFR 

84.13. Because application-specific 

allowances can be expended to either 

produce or import HFCs, and 

application-specific allowances must be 

provided from within the overall annual 

production and consumption caps, EPA 

subtracts the amount of applicationspecific allowances allocated from both 

the production and consumption 

general allowance pools. EPA issues 

application-specific allowances to end 

users in five applications established by 

the AIM Act: propellants in metered 

dose inhalers (MDIs), defense sprays, 

structural composite preformed 

polyurethane foam for marine use and 

trailer use, etching of semiconductor 

material or wafers and the cleaning of

chemical vapor deposition chambers 

within the semiconductor 

manufacturing sector, and onboard 

aerospace fire suppression. 

Additionally, EPA issues applicationspecific allowances to the U.S. 

Department of Defense for missioncritical military end uses. 

Applying the methodology codified in 

40 CFR 84.13, EPA allocated the number 

of application-specific allowances 

shown in Table 1.

Administrative Consequences 

Separate from the allocation of 

calendar year 2025 allowances, EPA 

hereby provides notice that it also took 

final actions establishing administrative 

consequences for specific entities. Each 

action, which EPA took through a letter 

issued to the relevant entity, is a 

separate final action informing the 

recipient entity of an administrative 

consequence. The requirements 

pertaining to administrative 

consequences are codified in 40 CFR 

84.35. Under this provision, EPA can 

retire, revoke, or withhold the allocation 

of allowances, or ban an entity from 

receiving, transferring, or conferring 

allowances. A retired allowance is one 

that must go unused and expire at the 

end of the year; a revoked allowance is 

one that EPA takes back from an 

allowance holder and redistributes to all 

the other eligible allowance holders; 

and a withheld allowance is one that is 

retained by the Agency until an 

allowance holder that has failed to meet 

a regulatory requirement comes back 

into compliance, at which point EPA 

allocates it to the allowance holder. 

More information on EPA’s approach to 

administrative consequences can be 

found at 86 FR 55168. 

EPA finalized administrative 

consequences for certain entities that 

were allocated application-specific 

allowances, listed in Table 1 for 

calendar year 2025. These entities failed 

to submit auditing reports as required in 

40 CFR 84.33 and therefore EPA has 

withheld a portion of their allowances 

until the missing reports are submitted 

and subsequently verified by EPA: 

ASML US,1 Proteng Distribution, and 

Wolfspeed. These final actions became 

effective on September 30, 2024, and are 

summarized below in Table 4.

aASML US submitted an auditing report on September 27, 2024, and the Agency is reviewing that submission. 

EPA finalized additional 

administrative consequences for certain 

entities that were allocated 

consumption allowances, as listed in 

Table 3 for calendar year 2025. These 

final actions affecting calendar year 

2025 allowances became effective on 

September 30, 2024. Specifically, the 

following entities failed to submit 

auditing reports as required in 40 CFR 

84.33 and therefore EPA has withheld a 

portion of their consumption 

allowances until the missing reports are 

filed and verified by EPA: Solvay 

Fluorides and Wilhelmsen Ships 

Service. The following entities imported 

regulated HFCs without expending the 

requisite number of consumption 

allowances at the time of import and 

therefore EPA has retired and/or 

revoked consumption allowances 

commensurate with the quantities of 

regulated substances imported without 

allowances: AFK & Co. and AutoZone 

Parts. Lastly, Wesco HMB sold, 

distributed, or offered for sale or 

distribution, regulated HFCs that had 

previously been imported in violation of 

EPA’s import requirements contained in 

40 CFR 84.5(b). A summary of these 

administrative consequences is

Adjustments to Consumption 

Allowances 

An entity is eligible to receive 

redistributed allowances if they were 

not subject to administrative 

consequences that took effect on the 

same day (except entities that had 

allowances withheld). For example, if 

EPA revoked 50 MTEVe allowances 

from company A and 50 MTEVe 

allowances from company B, effective 

on the same day, EPA’s redistribution of 

that single pool of 100 MTEVe 

allowances would go to all general pool 

allowances holders except company A 

and company B. This applies regardless 

of whether the revocation happens in 

one year or over multiple years. 

However, entities who only had 

allowances withheld by the Agency as 

a result of failure to comply with the 

auditing requirements as contained in 

40 CFR 84.33 were eligible to receive 

allowances that were redistributed. 

For 2025, the total number of revoked 

and redistributed allowances is 

523,912.0 MTEVe, which are being 

apportioned to eligible consumption 

allowance holders based on their 

relative market share, and the total 

number of retired allowances in 2025 is 

170,831.4 MTEVe. These amounts are 

the result of administrative 

consequences with two distinct effective 

dates. For more information on the 

administrative consequences finalized 

in 2023 that impact calendar year 2025 

consumption allowances, see

aSee Table 8; this value corresponds to the total number of application-specific allowances available on October 1, 2024, after adjusting for 

administrative consequences. bWhile these entities were eligible for revoked and redistributed consumption allowances with an effective date of September 30, 2024, the 

Agency has previously finalized administrative consequences for them stating that ‘‘[EPA] [w]ill retire and revoke allowances until the full administrative consequence is covered’’ (88 FR 72060, Oct. 19, 2023). 

Judicial Review 

The AIM Act provides that certain 

sections of the Clean Air Act (CAA) 

‘‘shall apply to’’ the AIM Act and 

actions ‘‘promulgated by the 

Administrator of [EPA] pursuant to [the 

AIM Act] as though [the AIM Act] were 

expressly included in title VI of [the 

CAA].’’ 42 U.S.C. 7675(k)(1)(C). Among 

the applicable sections of the CAA is 

section 307, which includes provisions 

governing judicial review. 42 U.S.C. 

7607(b)(1). Section 307(b)(1) provides, 

in part, that petitions for review must 

only be filed in the United States Court 

of Appeals for the District of Columbia 

Circuit: (i) When the agency action 

consists of ‘‘nationally applicable 

regulations promulgated, or final actions 

taken, by the Administrator,’’ or (ii) 

when such action is locally or regionally 

applicable, but ‘‘such action is based on 

a determination of nationwide scope or 

effect and if in taking such action the 

Administrator finds and publishes that 

such action is based on such a 

determination.’’ For locally or regionally 

applicable final actions, the CAA 

reserves to the EPA complete discretion 

whether to invoke the exception in (ii). 

The issuance of calendar year 2025 

allowances for the production and 

consumption of hydrofluorocarbons 

herein noticed is ‘‘nationally 

applicable’’ within the meaning of CAA 

section 307(b)(1). The AIM Act imposes 

a national cap on the total number of 

allowances available for each year for all 

entities nationwide. 42 U.S.C. 

7675(e)(2)(B)–(D). For 2025, there was a 

national pool of 229,521,263 production 

allowances and 181,522,990 

consumption allowances available to 

distribute. The allocation action noticed 

herein distributed that finite set of 

allowances consistent with the 

methodology EPA established in the 

nationally applicable framework rule. 

As such, the allowance allocation is the 

division and assignment of a single, 

nationwide pool of HFC allowances to 

entities across the country according to 

the uniform, national methodology 

established in EPA’s regulations. Each 

entity’s allowance allocation is a 

relative share of that pool; thus, any 

additional allowances awarded to one 

entity directly affects the allocations to 

others. 

In the alternative, to the extent a court 

finds the final action to be locally or 

regionally applicable, the Administrator 

is exercising the complete discretion 

afforded to him under the CAA to make 

and publish a finding that the allocation 

action is based on a determination of 

‘‘nationwide scope or effect’’ within the 

meaning of CAA section 307(b)(1).2 In 

deciding to invoke this exception, the 

Administrator has taken into account a 

number of policy considerations, 

including his judgment regarding the 

benefit of obtaining the D.C. Circuit’s 

authoritative centralized review, rather 

than allowing development of the issue 

in other contexts, in order to ensure 

consistency in the Agency’s approach to 

allocation of allowances in accordance 

with EPA’s national regulations in 40 

CFR part 84. The final action treats all 

affected entities consistently in how the 

40 CFR part 84 regulations are applied. 

The allowance allocation is the division 

and assignment of a single, nationwide 

pool of HFC allowances to entities 

across the country according to the 

uniform, national methodology 

established in EPA’s regulations, and 

each entity’s allowance allocation is a 

relative share of that pool; thus, any 

additional allowances awarded to one 

entity directly affect the allocations to 

others. The Administrator finds that this 

is a matter on which national uniformity 

is desirable to take advantage of the D.C. 

Circuit’s administrative law expertise 

and facilitate the orderly development 

of the basic law under the AIM Act and 

EPA’s implementing regulations. The 

Administrator also finds that 

consolidated review of the action in the 

D.C. Circuit will avoid piecemeal 

litigation in the regional circuits, further 

judicial economy, and eliminate the risk 

of inconsistent results for different 

regulated entities. The Administrator 

also finds that a nationally consistent 

approach to the allocation of allowances 

constitutes the best use of agency 

resources. The Administrator is 

publishing his finding that the 

allocation action is based on a 

determination of nationwide scope or 

effect in the Federal Register as part of 

this notice.

For these reasons, the final action of 

the Agency allocating 

hydrofluorocarbon allowances to 

entities located throughout the country 

is nationally applicable or, alternatively, 

the Administrator is exercising the 

complete discretion afforded to him by 

the CAA and finds that the final action 

is based on a determination of 

nationwide scope or effect for purposes 

of CAA section 307(b)(1) and is hereby 

publishing that finding in the Federal 

Register. 

Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, 

petitions for judicial review of this 

allocation action must be filed in the 

United States Court of Appeals for the 

District of Columbia Circuit by 

December 23, 2024. 

Each adjudicatory action establishing 

an administrative consequence as 

described in this notice is a final action 

previously taken by EPA. Under section 

307(b)(1) of the CAA, any petition for 

judicial review of such a final action 

must be filed in the United States Court 

of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by 

December 23, 2024.
