§

Transfers
of
allowances
for
class
I
controlled
substances.
(
a)
Inter­
company
transfers.
(

Until
January
1,
1996,
for
all
class
I
controlled
substances,
except
for
Group
VI,
and
until
January
1,
2005,
for
Group
VI,
any
person
("
transferor")
may
transfer
to
any
other
person
("
transferee")
any
amount
of
the
transferor's
consumption
allowances
or
production
allowances,
and
effective
January
1,
1995,
for
all
class
I
controlled
substances
any
person
("
transferor")
may
transfer
to
any
other
person
("
transferee")
any
amount
of
the
transferor's
Article
5
allowances.
After
January
1,
2002,
any
essential­
use
allowance
holder
(
including
those
persons
that
hold
essential­
use
allowances
issued
by
a
Party
other
than
the
United
States)
("
transferor")
may
transfer
essential­
use
allowances
for
CFCs
to
a
metered
dose
inhaler
company
solely
for
the
manufacture
of
essential
MDIs.
After
January
1,
2005,
any
critical
use
allowance
holder
("
transferor")
may
transfer
critical
use
allowances
to
any
other
person
("
transferee").
After
January
1,
2005,
any
critical
stock
allowance
holder
("
transferor")
may
transfer
critical
stock
allowances
to
any
critical
stock
allowance
holder
or
any
methyl
bromide
producer,
importer,
distributer
or
third
party
applicator
("
transferee").
(
i)
*
*
*
(
H)
The
one
percent
offset
applied
to
the
unweighted
amount
traded
will
be
deducted
from
the
transferor's
production
or
consumption
allowance
balance
(
except
for
trades
from
transformers
and
destroyers
to
producers
or
importers
for
the
purpose
of
allowance
reimbursement).
In
the
case
of
transferring
essential
use
allowances,
the
amount
of
one
tenth
of
one
percent
of
the
amount
traded
will
be
deducted
from
the
transferor's
allowance
balance.
In
the
case
of
transferring
critical
use
allowances,
the
amount
of
one
tenth
of
one
percent
of
the
amount
traded
will
be
deducted
from
the
transferor's
critical
use
allowance
balance.
*
*
*
*
*
(
ii)
The
Administrator
will
determine
whether
the
records
maintained
by
EPA,
taking
into
account
any
previous
transfers
and
any
production,
allowable
imports
and
exports
of
controlled
substances
reported
by
the
transferor,
indicate
that
the
transferor
possesses,
as
of
the
date
the
transfer
claim
is
processed,
unexpended
allowances
sufficient
to
cover
the
transfer
claim
(
i.
e.,
the
amount
to
be
transferred
plus,
in
the
case
of
transferors
of
essential
use
allowances
and
critical
use
allowances,
one
tenth
of
one
percent
of
the
transferred
amount).
Within
three
working
days
of
receiving
a
complete
transfer
claim,
the
Administrator
will
take
action
to
notify
the
transferor
and
transferee
as
follows:
*
*
*
*
*
(
iii)
In
the
event
that
the
Administrator
does
not
respond
to
a
transfer
claim
within
the
three
working
days
specified
in
paragraph
(
a)(
1)(
ii)
of
this
section
the
transferor
and
transferee
may
proceed
with
the
transfer.
EPA
will
reduce
the
transferor's
balance
of
unexpended
allowances
by
the
amount
to
be
transferred
plus,
in
the
case
of
transfers
of
production
or
consumption
allowances,
one
percent
of
that
amount,
and
in
the
case
of
essential
use
allowances
and
critical
use
allowances,
one
tenth
of
one
percent
of
that
amount.
However
if
EPA
ultimately
finds
that
the
transferor
did
not
have
sufficient
unexpended
allowances
to
cover
the
claim,
the
transferor
and
transferee
will
be
held
liable
for
any
violations
of
the
regulations
of
this
subpart
that
occur
as
a
result
of,
or
in
conjunction
with,
the
improper
transfer.
*
*
*
*
*
(
e)
Exchange
of
Critical
Use
Allowances
for
Critical
Stock
Allowances.
(
1)
Critical
use
allowance
holders
may
petition
the
Administrator
to
exchange
a
quantity
of
their
unexpended
critical
use
allowances
for
an
equivalent
amount
of
critical
stock
allowances
provided
they
hold
this
equivalent
amount
of
class
I,
Group
VI
controlled
substance
that
was
produced
or
imported
in
a
prior
control
period
either
with
production
allowances
and
consumption
allowances
or
critical
use
allowances.
A
person
allocated
critical
stock
allowances
may
not
petition
to
exchange
unexpended
critical
stock
allowances
for
critical
use
allowances.
