   3. That the revised starting point for sustained aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption was 1.09 ODP tonnes, calculated using actual consumption of 1.37 ODP tonnes and 0.81 ODP tonnes reported for 2009 and 2010, respectively, under Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol, and that the revised funding level for stage I of the HPMP for Saint Lucia was US $210,000, plus agency support costs, in accordance with decision 60/44(f)(xii); and
