Not later than December 31, 2018, the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (referred to in this section as the Administrator ) shall issue one or more rules to phasedown hydrofluorocarbons through an allowance allocation and trading program and the advancement of environmentally friendly technologies, including new compounds, blends, and other substances (such as refrigerants, solvents, fire retardants, foam blowing agents, aerosols, and propellants). A rule issued under subsection
(a)shall— be issued, reviewed, and enforced in the same manner as rules issued pursuant to title VI of the Clean Air Act ( 42 U.S.C. 7671 et seq.); conform to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, done at Montreal on September 16, 1987 (including the hydrofluorocarbon phasedown schedule agreed to by parties to the Montreal Protocol on October 15, 2016); provide for the improvement of refrigerant management programs, including reclamation; and be designed— to promote and support economic development; to maximize protections for human health and the environment; to minimize economic costs to hydrofluorocarbon producers, reclaimers, and user entities; to maximize flexibility for hydrofluorocarbon producers, reclaimers, and user entities; and to minimize any additional costs to consumers. In issuing a rule under subsection (a), as the Administrator determines to be appropriate, the Administrator may consider negotiating with all relevant stakeholders, in accordance with the negotiated rulemaking procedure under subchapter III of chapter 5 of title 5, United States Code (commonly known as the Negotiated Rulemaking Act of 1990 ).
