EPA v. AMERICAN FIRE TECHNOLOGIES - APO/CAFO

Case summary

AFT imported 2825 kg of Halon 1301, a Class I Controlled Substance, without submitting to EPA a petition for import, in violation of 40 C.F.R. 82.4 and 82.13(g). EPA issued a Finding of Violation (FOV) to AFT on April 3, 2020. The violation was resolved by AFT assisting the purchaser in preparing a retroactive petition for import, which EPA's Stratospheric Protection Division reviewed and used to determine the Halon 1301 met EPA criteria for import. This CAFO requires AFT to pay a penalty of $57,397, and resolves the FOV issued to AFT on April 3, 2020.
