3 Hydrochlorofluorocarbons are saturated compounds consisting of hydrogen, chlorine, fluorine, and carbon atoms, in varying proportions and molecular structures. They are referred to in the Amendment as “transitional substances,” a term itself defined in the Amendment by reference to their listing in its Annex C, “whether existing alone or in a mixture.” The listing also shows their chemical formulas in conjunction with an identifying HCFC number.

The listing corresponds, except for containing one additional HCFC (HCFC–151), to the Class II substances listed in §602(b) of the Clean Air Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. §7671a(b). As a group, HCFCs are considered to have a lower ozone-depleting potential than CFCs.
