Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is providing notice that the Agency allocated hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) set-aside allowances to general pool production and consumption allowance holders. For the calendar year 2026 allocation of HFC allowances, the EPA withheld a limited number of allowances from all general pool allowance holders. These allowances were set aside to accommodate unforeseen HFC needs for metered dose inhaler (MDI) end users. Entities that use HFCs as a propellant in MDIs had until April 30, 2026, to apply for these allowances, and the EPA received no applications. Accordingly, the EPA allocated all of the set-aside allowances pro rata amongst general pool allowance holders. This notice is announcing that allocation.
