and records required by this section, and to certify the accuracy of the 
information in the reports, petitions and records required by this 
section, will be considered a violation of this subpart. False 
statements made in reports, petitions and records will be considered 
violations of Section 113 of the Clean Air Act.
    (c) Unless otherwise specified, reports required by this section 
must be mailed to the Administrator within 45 days of the end of the

    (ii) Name and address of the importer, the importer ID number, the 
contact person, and the phone and fax numbers;
    (iii) Name, address, contact person, phone number and fax number of 
all previous source facilities from which the used controlled substance 
was recovered;
    (iv) A detailed description of the previous use of the controlled

shipment and the vessel transporting the chemical. If at the time of 
submitting a petition the importer does not know the U.S. port of entry, 
the expected date of shipment and the vessel transporting the chemical, 
and the importer receives a non-objection notice for the individual 
shipment in the petition, the importer is required to notify the 
Administrator of this information prior to the actual U.S. Customs entry 
of the individual shipment;
    (viii) A description of the intended use of the used controlled 
substance, and, when possible, the name, address, contact person, phone 
number and fax number of the ultimate purchaser in the United States;

the country of export and, if recovered in another country, the export 
license from the appropriate government agency in that country;
    (xiii) If the imported used controlled substance is intended to be 
sold as a refrigerant in the U.S., the name and address of the U.S. 
reclaimer who will bring the material to the standard required under 
section 608 (Sec. 82.152(g)) of the CAA, if not already reclaimed to 
those specifications; and
    (xiv) A certification of accuracy of the information submitted in 
the petition.
    (3) Starting on the first working day following receipt by the 
Administrator of a petition to import a used class I controlled 
substance, the Administrator will initiate a review of the information 
submitted under paragraph (g)(2) of this section and take action within 
40 working days to issue either an objection-notice or a non-objection 
notice for the individual shipment to the person who submitted the 
petition to import the used class I controlled substance.
    (i) For the following reasons, the Administrator may issue an 
objection notice to a petition:
    (A) If the Administrator determines that the information is 
insufficient, that is, if the petition lacks or appears to lack any of 
the information required under Sec. 82.13(g)(2);
    (B) If the Administrator determines that any portion of the petition 
contains false or misleading information, or the Administrator has 
information from other U.S. or foreign government agencies indicating 
that the petition contains false or misleading information;
    (C) If the importer wishes to import a used class I controlled 
substance from a country which is, for that particular controlled 
substance, out of compliance regarding its phaseout obligations under 
the Protocol or the transaction in the petition is contrary to other 
provisions in the Vienna Convention or the Montreal Protocol;
    (D) If the appropriate government agency in the exporting country 
has not agreed to issue an export license for the cited individual 
shipment of used controlled substance;
    (E) If allowing the import of the used class I controlled substance 
would run counter to government restrictions from either the country of 
recovery or export regarding controlled ozone-depleting substances;
    (F) If reclamation capacity is installed or is being installed for 
that specific controlled substance in the country of recovery or country 
of export and the capacity is funded in full or in part through the 
Multilateral Fund.
    (ii) Within ten (10) working days after receipt of the objection 
notice, the importer may re-petition the Administrator, only if the 
Administrator indicated ``insufficient information'' as the basis for 
the objection notice. If no appeal is taken by the tenth working

[[Page 355]]

day after the date on the objection notice, the objection shall become 
final. Only one appeal of re-petition will be accepted for any petition 
received by EPA.
    (iii) Any information contained in the re-petition which is 
inconsistent with the original petition must be identified and a 
description of the reason for the inconsistency must accompany the re-
petition.
    (iv) In cases where the Administrator does not object to the 
petition based on the criteria listed in paragraph (g)(3)(i) of this 
section, the Administrator will issue a non-objection notice.
    (v) To pass the approved used class I controlled substances through 
U.S. Customs, the petition and the non-objection notice issued by EPA 
must accompany the shipment through U.S. Customs.
    (vi) If for some reason, following EPA's issuance of a non-objection 
notice, new information is brought to EPA's attention which shows that 
the non-objection notice was issued based on false information, then EPA 
has the right to:
    (A) Revoke the non-objection notice;
    (B) Pursue all means to ensure that the controlled substance is not 
imported into the United States; and
    (C) Take appropriate enforcement actions.
    (vii) Once the Administrator issues a non-objection notice, the 
person receiving the non-objection notice is required to import the 
individual shipment of used class I controlled substance within the same 
control period as the date stamped on the non-objection notice.
    (viii) A person receiving a non-objection notice from the 
Administrator for a petition to import used class I controlled 
substances must maintain the following records:
    (A) a copy of the petition;
    (B) the EPA non-objection notice;
    (C) the bill of lading for the import; and
    (D) U.S. Customs entry documents for the import that must include 
one of the commodity codes from Appendix K to this subpart.
    (4) Reporting Requirements--Importers. For each quarter, every 
importer of a class I controlled substance (including importers of used, 
recycled or reclaimed controlled substances) must submit to the 
Administrator a report containing the following information:
    (i) Summaries of the records required in paragraphs (g)(1) (i) 
through (xvi) of this section for the previous quarter;
    (ii) The total quantity imported in kilograms of each controlled 
substance for that quarter;

January 1, 1996) of controlled substances for that quarter and totaled 
by chemical for the control-period-to-date;
    (vii) The importer's total sum of expended and unexpended 
consumption allowances by chemical as of the end of that quarter;
    (viii) The amount of controlled substances imported for use in 
processes resulting in their transformation or destruction;
    (ix) The amount of controlled substances sold or transferred during 
the quarter to each person for use in processes resulting in their 
transformation or eventual destruction;
    (x) The amount of controlled substances sold or transferred during 
the quarter to each person for an essential use;
    (xi) The amount of controlled substances imported with destruction 
and transformation credits;
