Subpart L – Fluorinated Gas Production
This page provides resources for subpart L reporters, including implementation information as well as supporting documents for relevant rulemakings.

Summary
Under this rule, the fluorinated gas production source category consists of facilities that produce fluorinated gases from any raw material or feedstock chemical. Fluorinated gases include fluorinated GHGs (described further below), chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). The reuse or recycling of fluorinated gases and the generation of HFC-23 from the production of HCFC-22 are not included in this source category. Emissions of HFC-23 from HCFC-22 production are covered in Subpart O (HCFC-22 Production and HFC-23 Destruction) found at 40 CFR § 98.150 – 158.
