The Executive Committee decided:

1. To note:
   1. The progress report on implementation of the first tranche of stage I of the HCFC phase-out management plan (HPMP) for El Salvador;
   2. That the Agreement between the Government of El Salvador and the Executive Committee contained in Annex XIII to the present report had been updated to revise the remaining eligible consumption in Appendix 2-A, and to add a new paragraph 16 to indicate that the updated Agreement superseded that reached at the 65^th meeting;
   3. That one enterprise in the foam sector for which conversion had been approved based on a low-global-warming potential (GWP) alternative was using HFC‑245fa temporarily due to the unavailability of low-GWP polyol systems domestically;
2. To request UNDP to continue assisting the Government of El Salvador during implementation of its HPMP in securing the supply of the alternative technologies selected;
3. To request UNDP to report to the Executive Committee on the status of use of the interim technology selected by the Government of El Salvador at each meeting until the original technology selected or another technology with a low GWP had been fully introduced; and
4. To approve the second tranche of stage I of the HPMP for El Salvador and the corresponding 2015-2016 tranche implementation plans, in the amount of US $82,498, consisting of US $58,928, plus agency support costs of US $4,420 for UNDP, and US $18,500, plus agency support costs of US $650 for UNEP.
