Refrigerant Management Program online registration and reporting tool training will be held on January 17, 2012. From: kbowers@arb.ca.gov On January 17th, 2012 a web based training session will be conducted to familiarize facilities who will be affected by the Refrigerant Management Program regulation with the use of the new Refrigerant Registration and Reporting web based tool. As part of implementing ARB’s Refrigerant Management Program (RMP) regulation, an online web based tool is being developed to facilitate the registration, reporting, and fee payment provisions of the RMP regulation. This tool, also called the Refrigerant Registration and Reporting System, R3 for short, will be available for use on January 27th, 2012. On January 17th, 2012 a web based training session will be conducted to familiarize facilities who will be affected by the regulation with the use of the tool. The training will be held from 1:00pm – 3:00pm Pacific time. To register please go to http://www.arb.ca.gov/training/courses.php?course=315. A recording of the webinar will be posted on the Refrigerant Management Program’s web page following the webcast. Comments and questions will be accepted during the webcast. The RMP regulation is a state-wide rule that became effective in January 2011 and affects facilities with refrigeration systems with a refrigerant charge greater than 50 pounds of any high global warming potential refrigerant, refrigerant distributors and wholesalers, and refrigerant reclaimers. The recordkeeping, leak inspection, leak repair, and required service practices provisions of the rule are now in effect. Registration, reporting, and fee payment requirements of the rule will be phased in between 2012 and 2016. By March 1, 2012 facilities with systems with a refrigerant charge of 2,000 pounds or greater must register, report, and pay the implementation fee. Refrigerant distributors, wholesalers, and reclaimers are also required to submit annual reports by March 1, 2012. The R3 tool is designed to make the process as simple as possible to do online. In addition, the R3 can serve as a tool for all facilities to maintain their records and manage their refrigerant usage throughout the year. For additional information on the registration and reporting requirements and other provisions of the Refrigerant Management Program, please visit the program web page at: www.arb.ca.gov/stoprefrigerantleaks, or email at: reftrackinfo@arb.ca.gov, or call (916) 324-2517.

A California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulation to minimize leaks of “high global warming potential” refrigerants established the following requirements and deadlines for owners/operators of systems using 2,000 or more pounds of these refrigerants: • January 1, 2012: Automatic leak detection systems must be installed. • March 1, 2012: Facility registration, fee payment, and annual report due. The regulation, known as the Refrigerant Management Program, also requires distributors, wholesalers, and reclaimers of any amount of high global warming refrigerant to register and submit annual reports by March 1, 2012. Please visit website below for additional requirements. Common refrigerants subject to the rule include, but are not limited to: R-12, R-22, R-134a, R-404A, R-407C, R-410A, and R-507. These high-global warming refrigerants are thousands of times more potent than carbon dioxide in trapping the Earth’s heat in the atmosphere. Refrigeration systems that use ammonia or carbon dioxide are not subject to the rule. Air conditioners and other systems used exclusively for cooling building occupants do not need to be registered, but are still subject to required service practices. How do I register? Registration opens January 2012. Online registration will be available using the online Refrigerant Registration and Reporting (R3) Tool which will be available for use on January 27, 2012. On January 17, 2012 a webinar will be held to familiarize users on the use of the R3 tool. For more information on registration and reporting requirements: www.arb.ca.gov/StopRefrigerantLeaks, email reftrackinfo@arb.ca.gov or call (916)324-2517.
