R40460 - Calculation of Lifecycle Greenhouse Gas25-Jun-2009; Brent D. Yacobucci and Kelsi S. Bracmort; 15 p. Abstract: The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA, P.L. 110-140), significantly expanded
the renewable fuel standard (RFS) established in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005, P.L.
109-58). The RFS requires the use of 9.0 billion gallons of renewable fuel in 2008, increasing to

IB89021 - Stratospheric Ozone Depletion: Regulatory issues4-Nov-1996; David E. Gushee; 13 p. Abstract: For two decades, scientists have been warning that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and Halons (bromine-containing fluorocarbons) may deplete the stratospheric ozone shield that screens out some of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays and thus regulates the amounts which reach the Earth's surface. CFCs have.... [expand] [read report] Topics:Stratospheric Ozone

97-940 - Stratospheric Ozone Depletion: Methyl Bromide Control Measures16-Oct-1997; Wayne Morrissey; 5 p. Abstract: This report is intended to help the reader follow changes over time in regulations domestic and international - governing methyl bromide for its potential ozone-depleting effects. Methyl bromide, like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), has been implicated by scientists in contributing to stratospheric ozon.... [expand] [read report] Topics:Stratospheric Ozone

93-382 - CFC Phaseout: Future Problem for Air Conditioning Equipment?1-Apr-1993; David E. Gushee; 11 p. Abstract: In response to both domestic law (the Clean Air Act as amended) and international agreement (The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer), the United States is well down the road toward complete phase-out by 1996 of production of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other ozone deplet....
