If the EPA believes any substance or activity could harm the stratosphere's ozone layer and endanger public health, it must quickly write rules controlling it. The EPA must tell Congress whenever it proposes or finalizes such a rule.
If, in the EPA Administrator's judgment, any substance, practice, process, or activity may reasonably be expected to affect the stratosphere — especially ozone in the stratosphere — and that effect may reasonably be expected to endanger public health or welfare, the Administrator* must promptly write regulations to control that substance, practice, process, or activity. The Administrator must also send Congress notice both when such a regulation is proposed and when it is finally issued.
If, in the Administrator’s judgment, any substance, practice, process, or activity may reasonably be anticipated to affect the stratosphere, especially ozone in the stratosphere, and such effect may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare, the Administrator* shall promptly promulgate regulations respecting the control of such substance, practice, process, or activity, and shall submit notice of the proposal and promulgation of such regulation to the Congress.
