(a) Phasedown from baseline. Total production and consumption of regulated substances in the United States in each year cannot exceed the amounts (shown as a percentage of baseline) in the following table:
| Date | Percentage of production baseline (percent) |
Percentage of consumption baseline (percent) |
|---|---|---|
| (1) 2022-2023 | 90 | 90 |
| (2) 2024-2028 | 60 | 60 |

(b) Annual production and consumption limits.
(1) The production baseline for regulated substances is 382,554,619 metric tons of exchange value equivalent.
(2) The consumption baseline for regulated substances is 303,887,017 metric tons of exchange value equivalent.
