ARB staff will hold a free on-line webinar on Tuesday, January
14, 2014 at 1:00 – 3:00 pm Pacific Time to review the
requirements of the regulation and the procedures for filing the
Annual Reports and paying the Annual Implementation Fees using
the online R3 tool.   This webinar will also highlight and
demonstrate the recent updates of the R3 tool.  This will be an
online GoToWebinar presentation accessible from anywhere you have
a computer and telephone line.  The webinar will be recorded and
posted to the program web page.

Since this is a repeat of the December 10, 2013 webinar, if you
participated in the earlier webinar you do not need to also
participate in the upcoming webinar; the same material will be
presented.  A recording of the December webinar is available on
the Refrigerant Management Program webpage.

The deadline for submitting 2014 Annual Reports for facilities
with large and medium refrigeration systems, refrigerant
distributors and reclaimers subject to California Air Resources
Board’s Refrigerant Management Program (RMP) is March 1st, 2014. 
Please note that this year the facilities with medium
refrigeration systems register and report for the first time.

Facilities with large and medium refrigeration systems are also
required to pay their annual implementation fee by March 1, 2014.
 The ARB online Refrigerant Registration and Reporting tool,
known as R3, can be accessed via: https://ssl.arb.ca.gov/rmp-r3.

The Refrigerant Management Program requires that all facilities
with large refrigeration systems, those with 2,000 pounds of
refrigerant or more submit their next Annual Report by March 1,
2014 for their 2013 refrigeration system leak inspections, leak
repairs, and other system servicing.  Medium refrigeration
facilities, those facilities whose largest system is 200 pounds
or more, but less than 2,000 pounds, must submit their
registration and first Annual Report by March 1, 2014 for their
2013 refrigeration system leak inspections, leak repairs, and
other system servicing.  The payment of the Annual Implementation
Fee is also due by March 1 for both the large and medium
facilities.  

Refrigerant distributors, wholesalers, and reclaimers are also
required to submit an Annual Report of their 2013 aggregated
annual refrigerant sales, transactions, and disposal by the March
1, 2014 due date.
