I have been researching R-134A and found this quote about a competing
product:

 Currently, GHG-X8 may be sold to the public without EPA 609 certification,
just like R-134a. The EPA is proposing to restrict the sale of R-134a to
certified technicians only, in the future. GHG-X8 will be restricted to
certified technicians when the R-134a rule becomes effective.

This is from  http://www.autofrost.com

Does anyone know about the proposed restriction on R-134.  The reason I
would consider a conversion is so I can buy R-134 over-the-counter.
