Allows for reporting of illegal or suspect purchase or sale of the ozone-depleting refrigerant.

MORRIS TOWNSHIP, N.J., Feb. 18, 2010 - Honeywell (NYSE: HON) announced its support for a new Web site aimed at curtailing unauthorized sale or purchase of R-22, a regulated ozone-depleting refrigerant also known as HCFC-22.

The Web site, Catch-22 Compliance Line, allows users to report suspected sale or purchase of the refrigerant, providing information so that authorities can investigate further. Users can report such activity anonymously on the Web site if they choose. A dedicated domestic toll-free number is also available. Honeywell has provided financial support for the web site.

"Honeywell is supporting the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in its efforts to curb the illegal sale and use of R-22," said David Diggs, global business director for Honeywell Fluorine Products. "As one of the companies with authorized EPA allowances to sell this refrigerant, we want to make sure that the R-22 market is a level playing field for all participants. This Web site allows people who witness or suspect illegal activity to do the right thing."

As a party to the Montreal Protocol on Ozone Depleting Substances, the U.S. must incrementally decrease HCFC consumption and production, culminating in a complete HCFC phase-out in 2030. The EPA ensures that HCFC consumption in the U.S. is 75 percent below the 1996 U.S. baseline -- as required under the Montreal Protocol -- by issuing allowances to producers and importers of HCFCs, including Honeywell.

Those without allowances who illegally sell or import R-22 in the U.S. are subject to seizures of the product, large fines and even prison sentences. Those who buy illegally obtained R-22 can also have it seized and receive fines.

The Web site can be found at https://www.klexserve.com/catch22/. Those looking to report known or suspected cases of illegal activity can also call 866-506-6134.
