FACT SHEET

Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Determination 31 for Significant

New Alternatives Policy Program

Action Listing New Acceptable Substitutes

Under section 612 of the Clean Air Act, EPA reviews substitutes
within a comparative risk framework. To arrive at determinations
on the acceptability of substitutes, the Agency performs a cross-
media analysis of risks to human health and the environment
from the use of various substitutes in different industrial and
consumer uses that have historically used ozone depleting
substances.

This determination of acceptability expands EPA's Significant
New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program's list of acceptable
substitutes by adding a number of substitutes with lower global
warming potentials compared to what are predominately used
today for the same uses.

SUMMARY OF ADDITIONAL ACCEPTABLE
SUBSTITUTES

Notice 31

What is included in the Notice?

•	Four additional acceptable substitutes
that reduce overall risk to human
health and environment

Which industrial sectors are included?

How are substitutes evaluated?

•	Review characteristics including ozone
depletion potential (ODP), global
warming potential (GWP), toxicity,
flammability, occupational and
consumer health/safety, local air
quality, and ecosystem effects
