Refrigerant Management Program

The Refrigerant Management Program (RMP) requires facilities with refrigeration systems containing more than 50 pounds of high-GWP refrigerant to conduct and report periodic leak inspections, promptly repair leaks; and keep service records on site. The regulation also requires service practices intended to minimize refrigerant emissions.

Register Facility

Stationary refrigeration facilities with more than 50 pounds of high-GWP refrigerant in the largest on-site refrigeration system must register with the RMP. Those with at least 200 pounds of high-GWP refrigerant in the largest system have annual reporting and additional duties. Registration and reporting is available via the R3 Tool.

RMP Background

The RMP requires facilities with refrigeration systems containing more than 50 pounds of high-global warming potential (high-GWP) refrigerant to:

Conduct and report periodic leak inspections;
Promptly repair leaks; and
Keep service records on-site.

These facilities are also subject to registration and reporting requirements. Facilities whose systems use only ammonia or carbon dioxide as refrigerants are not subject to the rule.

These facilities must register; facilities with 200 lbs. or more must also submit annual reports by March 1 of each year. The R3 reporting tool is used for registration and reporting.
