From Carrier's Site
"As HCFC-22 contains 41% chlorine and has an atmospheric life of 15 years,
this refrigerant is subject to phaseout in 2030 under the international
Montreal Protocol. The U.S. Clean Air Act will prohibit the use of this
refrigerant in new equipment in 2010, along with prohibiting new production
after 2020"
