Mr. Dupuis,

We are currently drafting a final version of the rule that proposed a
ban 

on the sale and distribution of a/c and refrigeration appliances and 

equipment components (such as but not limited to condensing units, 

linesets, acoils) that are pre-charged with R-22 ( 

www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-AIR/2008/December/Day-23/a29999.pdf ).   

As proposed, as of January 1, 2010 no person may sell or distribute air 

conditioning or refrigeration equipment (including appliances and 

equipment components) that are pre-charged with R-22.  So if the
proposal 

is finalized, as of the first of next year you would not be able to
import 

appliances and components that are precharged with R-22 if they were 

manufactured on or after January 1, 2010.  Import would mean the day
that 

a person first brings or attempts to bring the product into the United 

States.   

EPA understands the time sensitivity of this important action.   We 

anticipate a final version of the rule to be published later this year. 

EPA will post the final rule on-line(www.epa.gov/ozone/strathome.html )
as 

soon as it can be made public.   Additional information is available at 

www.epa.gov/ozone/title6/phaseout/rulesoverview.html  and

Comment:I have a customer who imports splits ACs from China and we are 

worried about the 2010 phase out. I need clarification on the January 1 

cut off date. Would we be in compliance if the goods are produced in
China 

before January 1 but arrive at the US port after the January 1 cut off? 

Please email me so that we may clarify this point. Thank you.
