# §23.107-4. Products that contain, use, or are manufactured with ozone-depleting substances or products that contain or use high global warming potential hydrofluorocarbons.

- (a) **Authorities.**
  - (1) Title VI of the Clean Air Act ([42 U.S.C. 7671](/usc/42/7671.md), et seq.).
  - (2) **Section 706 of Division D, title VII of the Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009 (Pub.** L. 111-8).
  - (3) **EPA regulations, Protection of Stratospheric Ozone (40 CFR part 82).**
- (b) **Program.** The EPA SNAP Program.
- (c) **Agency program—** s. Agencies shall implement cost-effective programs to minimize the procurement of materials and substances that contribute to the depletion of stratospheric ozone and/or result in the use, release, or emission of high global warming potential hydrofluorocarbons.
- (d) **Procedures.** Agencies shall—
  - (1) Give preference to the procurement of acceptable alternative chemicals, products, and manufacturing processes that reduce overall risks to human health and the environment by minimizing—
    - (i) The depletion of ozone in the upper atmosphere; and
    - (ii) The potential use, release, or emission of high global warming potential hydrofluorocarbons; and
  - (2) **In preparing specifications and purchase descriptions and in the acquisition of products and services—**
    - (i) Comply with the requirements of title VI of the Clean Air Act; [section 706](/cfr/48/706.md) of division D, title VII of Public Law 111-8; and [40 CFR 82.84(a)(2) through (5)](/cfr/40/82.84.md?p=a-2..a-5);
    - (ii) Substitute acceptable alternatives to ozone-depleting substances, as identified under [42 U.S.C. 7671k](/usc/42/7671k.md), to the maximum extent practicable, as provided in [40 CFR 82.84(a)(1)](/cfr/40/82.84.md?p=a-1), except in the case of Class I substances being used for specified essential uses, as identified under [40 CFR 82.4(n)](/cfr/40/82.4.md?p=n); and
    - (iii) Unless a particular contract requires otherwise, specify that, when feasible, contractors shall use another acceptable alternative in lieu of a high global warming potential hydrofluorocarbon in products and services in a particular end use for which EPA's SNAP program has identified other acceptable alternatives that have lower global warming potential.
- (e) **Resource.** Refer to EPA's SNAP program website at https://www.epa.gov/snap for the list of alternatives found at [40 CFR part 82](/cfr/40/part82.md), [subpart G](/cfr/48/subpartG.md), as well as supplemental tables of alternatives.
