Description

Proposed rule - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is proposing to amend 
a provision of the Technology Transitions regulations promulgated under 
the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act. This action allows one 
additional year, until 1 January 2027, solely for the installation of 
new residential and light commercial air conditioning and heat pump 
variable refrigerant flow systems that are 65,000 British thermal units 
per hour or greater using components manufactured in the U.S. or 
imported prior to 1 January 2026. The existing 1 January 2026, 
compliance date for the installation of certain variable refrigerant 
flow systems may result in significant stranded inventory that was 
intended for new construction. EPA is promulgating this action to 
mitigate the potential for significant stranded inventory in this 
subsector.
