The Executive Committee decided:
- To note the progress report on the implementation of the second tranche of stage I of the HCFC phase-out management plan (HPMP) in the Bahamas;
- To request UNEP to provide an update at the 82nd meeting on the findings of the study to explore the best available options for the pilot project to assess, monitor, and retrofit two air-conditioning systems; and
- To approve the third tranche of stage I of the HPMP for the Bahamas, and the corresponding 2018–2020 tranche implementation plan, in the amount of US $104,790, consisting of US $58,175, plus agency support costs of US $7,563 for UNEP, and US $35,828, plus agency support costs of US $3,224 for UNIDO, on the understanding that if the Bahamas were to decide to proceed with retrofits and associated servicing to flammable and toxic refrigerants in refrigeration and air‑conditioning equipment originally designed for non-flammable substances, it would do so assuming all associated responsibilities and risks and only in accordance with the relevant standards and protocols.
