The deadline for submitting 2017 Annual Reports summarizing 2016 calendar year for facilities with large and medium refrigeration systems, refrigerant distributors, and refrigerant reclaimers subject to California Air Resources Board’s Refrigerant Management Program (RMP) is March 1st, 2017. The Refrigerant Management Program requires that all facilities with large and medium refrigeration systems, those with 200 pounds of refrigerant or more, submit their next Annual Report by March 1, 2017 for their 2016 calendar year refrigeration system leak inspections, leak repairs, and other system servicing.
