(79) On August 23, 1996, the

Governor of Colorado submitted a

revision to the long-term strategy

portion of Colorado’s State

Implementation Plan (SIP) for Class I

Visibility Protection. The revision was

made to incorporate into the SIP, among

other things, emissions reduction

requirements for the Hayden Station (a

coal-fired steam generating plant located

near the town of Hayden, Colorado) that

are based on a consent decree

addressing numerous air pollution

violations at the plant. This SIP revision

replaces the previous existing

impairment portion of the long-term

strategy as it relates to the Mt. Zirkel

Wilderness Area.

CFR Correction

In title 40 of the Code of Federal

Regulations, parts 81 to 85, revised as of

July 1, 1996, § 82.32 (e)(1) and (2) was

incorrectly revised. The corrected text

should read as follows.

§ 82.32 Definitions.

* * * * *

(e)(1) Properly using means using

equipment in conformity with

Recommended Service Procedures and

Recommended Practices for the

Containment of R–12 (CFC–12) set forth

in appendix A or appendix B to this

subpart, as applicable. In addition, this

term includes operating the equipment

in accordance with the manufacture’s

guide to operation and maintenance and

using the equipment only for the

controlled substance for which the

machine is designed. For equipment

that extracts and recycles refrigerant,

properly using also means to recycle

refrigerant before it is returned to a

motor vehicle air conditioner. For

equipment that only recovers

refrigerant, properly using includes the

requirement to recycle the refrigerant

on–site or send the refrigerant off–site

for reclamation.

(2) Refrigerant from reclamation

facilities that is used for the purpose of

recharging motor vehicle air

conditioners must be at or above the

standard of purity developed by the

Air–conditioning and Refrigeration

Institute (ARI 700–93) (which is

codified at 40 CFR part 82, subpart F,

appendix A, and is available at 4301

North Fairfax Drive, Suite 425,

Arlington, Virginia 22203). Refrigerant

may be recycled off–site only if the

refrigerant is extracted using recover

only equipment, and is subsequently

recycled off–site by equipment owned

by the person that owns both the

recover only equipment and owns or

operates the establishment at which the

refrigerant was extracted. In any event,

approved equipment must be used to

extract refrigerant prior to performing

any service during which discharge of

refrigerant from the motor vehicle air

conditioner can reasonably be expected.

Intentionally venting or disposing of

refrigerant to the atmosphere is an

improper use of equipment.
