The Department is proposing amendments to 6 NYCRR Part 494, “Hydrofluorocarbon Standards and Reporting.” The proposed regulation includes prohibitions, reporting, and other requirements regarding the sale, use, and supply of HFCs and new products and systems that contain HFCs. The goal of this proposed rule is to implement recommendations of the Climate Action Council Scoping Plan necessary to achieve the required statewide GHG emission limits and net zero goal outlined in the Climate Act. Written comments on the proposed Part 494 revisions may be submitted until 5 p.m. on March 19, 2024.
