In using the
data gathered under this collection to assess emissions reductions
and the effectiveness of the PFC Reduction/Climate Partnership
program, EPA should consider the degree to which partners might
have reduced their emissions in the absence of the program. When
this ICR is resubmitted for renewal, EPA should evaluate the extent
to which the partners would have reduced their emissions in the
absence of this program. EPA should not use this data to estimate
aggregate emission reductions across the industry resulting from
the PFC Reduction/Climate Partnership program.
