Section 609 of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (Act) provides general guidelines for the recovery and recycling of motor vehicle air conditioners. It states that "no person repairing or servicing motor vehicles for consideration may perform any service on a motor vehicle air conditioner involving the refrigerant for such air conditioner without properly using approved refrigerant recovery and/or recovery and recycling equipment (hereafter referred to as "refrigerant handling equipment") and no such person may perform such service unless such person has been properly trained and certified." In 1992, EPA developed regulations under section 609 that were published in 57 FR 31240, and codified at 40 CFR Subpart B (Section 82.30 et seq.). The information required to be collected under the Section 609 regulations is: approved refrigerant handling equipment; approved independent standards testing organizations; technician training and certification; and certification, reporting and recordkeeping.

The previously approved ICRs supporting statement estimated a total annual respondent burden of 4,130 hours. This ICR estimates a total annual burden of 4,165 hours. Hence, there is an increase of 35 hours since the previously approved ICR. Since the previous ICR renewal, EPA estimates that the total number of establishments has increased from 160,400 to 165,800, based on recently released data on the number of motor vehicle establishments from the U.S. Census Bureau. As in the previous ICR renewal, EPA assumed that 3% of establishments send refrigerants off-site and need to record the address of the off-site facility. The estimate for the number of establishments that send refrigerants off-site increased from 4,812 to 4,974 to reflect a higher, more accurate, number of motor vehicle establishments in the United States.
