 | | Additionally, today's notice requests producers and formulators of substitutes for Class I ozone-depleting substances (i.e., chlorofluorocarbons, halons, methyl chloroform, and carbon tetrachloride) and Class II ozone-depleting substances (i.e., hydrochlorofluorocarbons), as well as substitute equipment manufacturers, to voluntarily provide EPA with information to facilitate the timely completion of risk characterizations on these substitutes. |
 | | Title VI differs from the London Amendments by mandating a faster phaseout of methyl chloroform (2002 instead of 2005), a restriction on the use of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) after 2015, and a ban on the production of HCFCs after 2030. |
 | | In title VI, the CFCs, halons, carbon tetrachloride, and methyl chloroform are defined as Class I substances; HCFCs are referred to as Class II substances. |
