为与国际公约对接、完善消耗臭氧层物质（ODSs）管理措施、强化法律责任等，国务院再次对《消耗臭氧层物质管理条例》（2018修订）进行修正，本次修正内容自2024年3月1日起施行。
在于国际公约对接方面，本次修改将《条例》所称的ODSs界定为“列入《中国受控消耗臭氧层物质清单》的化学品”，不再保留“对臭氧层有破坏作用”的限定性表述，意味着我国的议定书履约工作已进入保护臭氧层与应对气候变化协同的新阶段。
为逐步削减含氢氯氟烃物质（HCFCs），生态环境部、工业和信息化部已经更新发布了《中国消耗臭氧层物质替代品推荐名录》。《名录》推荐了23个针对HCFCs的替代品，在不破坏臭氧层的基础上，兼顾对气候变化及其他环境问题的影响。名录给出了替代品的主要应用领域，为相关行业、企业研发和使用替代品提供指导。
在完善ODSs管理措施方面，本次修正规范了ODSs相关企业的备案要求，将不需要申请领取使用配额许可证的ODSs使用单位纳入备案管理范围（其它三种需纳入备案的包括ODSs销售企业、从事含ODSs的设备/系统维修和报废经营活动、从事ODSs回收利用或销毁的企业）。另外，针对生产、使用消耗臭氧层物质数量较大以及生产过程中附带产生消耗臭氧层物质数量较大的单位，要求安装自动监测设备，与生态环境主管部门的监控设备联网。
在强化法律责任方面，补充了违法行为，提高了对违法行为的罚款数额，并纳入信用管理。
To align with international conventions, the State Council has amended the “Management Regulations on Ozone-Depleting Substances (2018 Revision)”, coming into force on March 1, 2024, to improve the management measures for ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) and strengthen the legal liability.
To align with international conventions, this amendment revised the definition of ODSs in the Regulations, i.e. “chemicals included in the List of Controlled Ozone-Depleting Substances in China”, no longer limiting its impact of “chemicals having a destructive effect on the ozone layer”, which means that China’s compliance with the Montreal Protocol has entered a new stage of synergizing the ozone layer protection with climate change combating program.
To gradually reduce hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology have updated and issued the “List of Recommended Alternatives for ODSs in China.” The List recommends 23 alternatives to HCFCs, considering the impact on climate change and other environmental issues without compromising ozone layer protection. The List indicates the main application areas of the alternatives, providing guidance for relevant industries and enterprises to develop and use alternatives.
In terms of ODSs management measures, the amendment further standardizes the registration requirements for ODSs-related enterprises. ODSs-using enterprises that are not required to apply for a use quota license are required to register with the local environmental authorities for the first time (the other three types of enterprises that are required to make registration include ODSs-trading enterprises, enterprises engaging in repairing and scrapping ODSs-containing equipment/systems, as well as enterprises engaging in the recycling or destruction of ODSs). In addition, for enterprises that produce or use large quantities of ODSs and those that generate large quantities of ODSs as by-product, it is required that online monitoring devices be installed and connected with the monitoring network of the local environmental authorities.
To strengthen legal liability, illegal acts are supplemented, with fines for illegal acts are increased, also the illegal acts are incorporated into environmental credit and accountability system.

意见是贯彻落实《空气质量持续改善行动方案》、更加有效应对重污染天气的重要举措。意见明确统一以空气质量指数（AQI）为预警分级指标，对不同污染物造成的重污染天气，采取差异化应对措施:
• 因细颗粒物（PM2.5）污染造成的重污染天气，应严格按照大气法第九十六条有关规定积极应对，应急减排措施应依法按照国家有关技术指南制定。• 因臭氧（O3）污染造成的重污染天气，应及时向社会发布健康提示信息，同时加强对挥发性有机物（VOCs）和氮氧化物（NOx）排放源的日常监管。
• 因沙尘、山火、局地扬沙、国境外传输等不可控因素造成的重污染天气，应及时向社会发布健康提示信息，引导公众采取健康防护措施，可视情采取加强扬尘源管控等措施。最后意见要求各地应对照本指导意见有关要求及时进行更新重污染天气应急预案，尚未完成应急预案制修订的地方，应于2024年3月底前完成。
The Opinions are the follow up of the “The Action Plan for Continuous Improvement of Air Quality” to respond more effectively to heavily polluted weather.Opinions clarify that air quality index (AQI) is the only indicator that used for early warning and specify that differentiated responses shall be taken for different pollutants causing heavily polluted weather:
• For heavily polluted weather caused by fine particulate matter (PM2.5), active response should be made in strict accordance with Article 96 of “Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law ”, and emergency emission reduction measures should be formulated in accordance with the national technical guidelines.
• For heavily polluted weather caused by ozone (O3), health alert shall be issued to the public timely, and the routine supervision of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission sources should be strengthened.
• For heavily polluted weather caused by sandstorms, wildfires, local sand blowing, transmission outside the country or other uncontrollable factors, health alert should be released to the public timely in order to guide the public to take health protection measures, and measures such as strengthening the control of dust sources can be taken as appropriate.
Finally, the Opinions requires that local governments to update the local emergency response plans for heavily polluted weather accordingly in a timely manner. For those local governments that have not yet revised their emergency response plans, the plan update should be completed before March 2024.

近年来固体废物非法转移和倾倒事件频发，其中不乏因对固体废物属性认定不清，导致以原材料或产品名义转移固体废物事件不断发生。由于固体废物同样具有一定的用途和价值，副产物和固体废物加工产物的认定是固体废物鉴别的难点，也是固体废物鉴别规则的重点。为避免因固体废物属性认定不清导致固体废物游离于管理之外，对《固体废物鉴别标准 通则》（2017版）开展修订工作。本征求意见稿修改了标准适用范围，根据各章节内容逻辑关系调整了标准结构框架，对鉴别标准进行了大量修订并新增三个资料性附录：“固体废物判断流程”、“丧失原有使用价值但可以通过修复恢复或提升其原有使用用途的物质”、“生产过程中常见的副产物”。
In recent years, incidents of illegal transfer and dumping of solid wastes have been frequently occurred, many of which are due to unclear characterization of solid wastes, leading to the illegal transfer of solid wastes in the name of raw materials or products. As wastes also have certain uses and values, there is difficulty to identify the waste from by-products or processing products , which is also the pain point in waste identification.To avoid wastes wandering out of regulations due to unclear identification of solid waste attributes, the “Identification standards for solid wastes General rules” (2017 edition) has been revised.
This consultation draft modifies the application scope of the standards, adjusts the structural framework of the standards according to the logical relationship of the content of each chapter, makes extensive revisions to the identification standards and adds three new informative appendices: “Judgment process of solid waste”, “Substances that have lost their original use value but can be restored or upgraded to their original use through repair” and “Common by-products in the production process”.
