Duties Description The GHG Regs section is primarily tasked with managing OCC’s current GHG regulations (Parts 494, 495, and 496). This involves independent and collaborative work to plan, implement, and track outreach and enforcement. The staff in this section are expected to develop expertise on these regulations and regulatory enforcement so they are able to provide clear and accurate information to the public, regulated businesses and other stakeholders, agency leadership, law enforcement, and legal counsel. The Section Lead for GHG Regs supervises staff; independently reviews regulations, monitors for compliance, and makes determinations on program needs; prepares and distributes information on regulations, including direct outreach with regulated entities; leads the development and completion of assigned projects; participates in interagency and external teams; and supports the agency and counsel in responses to litigation and enforcement actions. In the near-term, the section lead will play a pivotal role in the implementation of Part 494-1, HFC phase down, and Part 494-2, Refrigerant Management Program. The primary work duties may include the following: managing teams and junior staff in developing reporting programs and guidance, undertaking outreach to enroll thousands of businesses into the program, and assessing compliance. The section lead will also support the Bureau Chief in ongoing implementation of the full Part 494 regulation and in developing and monitoring reporting under Part 495. The section lead is expected to develop an accurate and deep understanding of fluorinated GHG emission sources, particularly in the refrigeration, air-conditioning, and heat pumps sectors, and become a technical expert on these subject matters.
