EPA Finalizes 2011 Critical Use Exemption for Methyl Bromide

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is finalizing exemptions for the use of methyl bromide in 2011, allowing for the production, importation, or supply of the chemical from existing pre-phaseout inventory for specific purposes. This decision was made under the authority of the Clean Air Act, following a recent consensus agreement among the parties to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer.
