EPA is developing a separate evaluation procedure for that product.
BOPs are available for use in all climate zones.
EPA will make any necessary adjustments to the current BOPs library to ensure compliance in Climate Zone One. These adjustments might include excluding the most extreme regions of Climate Zone One from applicability or adjusting the specifications of the BOP to ensure compliance throughout the zone. Particular BOPs will no longer be restricted to the entities for which they were developed. For example, a utility located in any state may use the Andersen Windows BOP, the SIP BOP or the geothermal BOP as long as the utility is either an accredited BOP provider itself or its staff are certified raters working through an accredited provider. EPA will make the BOP library available to all program participants.
