Sec. 7671m. Relationship to other laws


(a) State laws

    Notwithstanding section 7416 of this title, during the 2-year period 
beginning on November 15, 1990, no State or local government may enforce 
any requirement concerning the design of any new or recalled appliance 
for the purpose of protecting the stratospheric ozone layer.

(b) Montreal Protocol

    This subchapter as added by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 
shall be construed, interpreted, and applied as a supplement to the 
terms and conditions of the Montreal Protocol, as provided in Article 2, 
paragraph 11 thereof, and shall not be construed, interpreted, or 
applied to abrogate the responsibilities or obligations of the United 
States to implement fully the provisions of the Montreal Protocol. In 
the case of conflict between any provision of this subchapter and any 
provision of the Montreal Protocol, the more stringent provision shall 
govern. Nothing in this subchapter shall be construed, interpreted, or 
applied to affect the authority or responsibility of the Administrator 
to implement Article 4 of the Montreal Protocol with other appropriate 
agencies.

(c) Technology export and overseas investment

    Upon November 15, 1990, the President shall--
        (1) prohibit the export of technologies used to produce a class 
    I substance;
        (2) prohibit direct or indirect investments by any person in 
    facilities designed to produce a class I or class II substance in 
    nations that are not parties to the Montreal Protocol; and
        (3) direct that no agency of the government provide bilateral or 
    multilateral subsidies, aids, credits, guarantees, or insurance 
    programs, for the purpose of producing any class I substance.
