What is the threshold amount of regulated CFCs that triggers a floor tax?

100 lb
200 lb
300 lb
400 lb

The correct answer is: 400 lb

The threshold amount of regulated chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) that triggers a floor tax is indeed set at 400 pounds. This means that when a business or individual holds a stockpile of CFCs that exceeds this quantity, they must pay a floor tax on those regulated substances. The purpose of this regulation is rooted in environmental protection; CFCs are known to deplete the ozone layer, and the imposition of a tax incentivizes reduction of these substances, aligning with efforts to curb their use and promote eco-friendly alternatives. By establishing a financial penalty for holding excessive amounts, the regulation encourages responsible management and disposal of CFCs, contributing to the overarching goals of environmental sustainability and public health.
