[FRL–9942–27–OAR] 

Allocations of Cross-State Air 

Pollution Rule Allowances From New 

Unit Set-Asides for the 2015 

Compliance Year 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule; notice of data 

availability (NODA). 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is providing notice of 

emission allowance allocations to 

certain units under the new unit setaside (NUSA) provisions of the CrossState Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) 

federal implementation plans (FIPs). 

EPA has completed final calculations 

for the second round of NUSA 

allowance allocations for the 2015 

compliance year of the CSAPR NOX

Annual, SO2 Group 1, and SO2 Group 2 

Trading Programs. EPA has posted 

spreadsheets showing the second-round 

2015 NUSA allocations of CSAPR NOX

Annual, SO2 Group 1, and SO2 Group 2 

allowances to new units as well as the 

allocations to existing units of the 

remaining CSAPR NOX Annual, SO2

Group 1, and SO2 Group 2 allowances 

not allocated to new units in either 

round of the 2015 NUSA allocation 

process. EPA will record the allocated 

CSAPR NOX Annual, SO2 Group 1, and 

SO2 Group 2 allowances in sources’ 

Allowance Management System (AMS) 

accounts by February 15, 2016. 

DATES: February 12, 2016.

Questions concerning this action should 

be addressed to Robert Miller at (202) 

343–9077 or miller.robertl@epa.gov or to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

CSAPR FIPs, a portion of each state 

budget for each of the four CSAPR 

trading programs is reserved as a NUSA 

from which allowances are allocated to 

eligible units through an annual one- or 

two-round process. EPA has described 

the CSAPR NUSA allocation process in 

five NODAs previously published in the 

Federal Register (80 FR 30988, June 1, 

2015; 80 FR 44882, July 28, 2015; 80 FR 

55061, September 14, 2015; 80 FR 

69883, November 12, 2015; 80 FR 

77591, December 15, 2015). In the most 

recent of these previous NODAs, EPA 

provided notice of preliminary lists of 

new units eligible for second-round 

2015 NUSA allocations of CSAPR NOX

Annual, SO2 Group 1, and SO2 Group 2 

allowances and provided an 

opportunity for the public to submit 

objections. 

EPA received no objections to the 

preliminary lists of new units eligible 

for second-round 2015 NUSA 

allocations of CSAPR NOX Annual, SO2

Group 1, or SO2 Group 2 allowances 

whose availability was announced in 

the December 15 NODA. EPA is 

therefore making second-round 2015 

NUSA allocations of CSAPR NOX

Annual, SO2 Group 1, and SO2 Group 2 

allowances to the new units identified 

on these lists in accordance with the 

procedures set forth in 40 CFR 

97.412(a)(9) and (12), 97.612(a)(9) and 

(12), and 97.712(a)(9) and (12). 

As described in the December 15 

NODA, any allowances remaining in the 

CSAPR NOX Annual, SO2 Group 1, and 

SO2 Group 2 NUSAs for a given state 

and control period after the second 

round of NUSA allocations to new units 

is completed are to be allocated to the 

existing units in the state according to 

the procedures set forth in 40 CFR 

97.412(a)(10) and (12), 97.612(a)(10) and 

(12), and 97.712(a)(10) and (12). EPA 

has determined that CSAPR NOX

Annual, SO2 Group 1, and SO2 Group 2 

allowances do remain in the NUSAs for 

a number of states following completion 

of second-round 2015 NUSA 

allocations; accordingly, EPA is 

allocating these allowances to existing 

units. The NUSA allowances are 

generally allocated to the existing units 

in proportion to the allocations 

previously made to the existing units 

under 40 CFR 97.411(a)(1), 97.611(a)(1), 

and 97.711(a)(1), adjusted for rounding. 

Under 40 CFR 97.412(b)(10), 

97.612(b)(10), and 97.712(b)(10), any 

allowances remaining in the CSAPR 

NOX Annual, SO2 Group 1, and SO2

Group 2 Indian country NUSAs for a 

given state and control period after the 

second round of Indian country NUSA 

allocations to new units are added to the 

NUSA for that state or are made 

available for allocation by the state 

pursuant to an approved SIP revision. 

No new units eligible for allocations of 

CSAPR NOX Annual, SO2 Group 1, and 

SO2 Group 2 allowances from any 2015 

Indian country NUSA have been 

identified, and no state has an approved 

SIP revision governing allocation of 

2015 CSAPR allowances. The Indian 

country NUSA allowances are therefore 

being added to the NUSAs for the 

respective states and are included in the 

pools of allowances that are being 

allocated to existing units under 40 CFR 

97.412(b)(10) and (12), 97.612(b)(10) 

and (12), and 97.712(b)(10) and (12). 

The final unit-by-unit data and 

allowance allocation calculations are set 

forth in Excel spreadsheets titled 

‘‘CSAPR_NUSA_2015_NOx_Annual_

2nd_Round_Final_Data_New_Units’’, 

‘‘CSAPR_NUSA_2015_SO2_2nd_

Round_Final_Data_New_Units’’, 

‘‘CSAPR_NUSA_2015_NOx_Annual_

2nd_Round_Final_Data_Existing_

Units’’, and ‘‘CSAPR_NUSA_2015_SO2_

2nd_Round_Final_Data_Existing_

Units’’, available on EPA’s Web site at 

http://www.epa.gov/crossstaterule/

actions.html. 

Pursuant to CSAPR’s allowance 

recordation timing requirements, the 

allocated NUSA allowances will be 

recorded in sources’ AMS accounts by 

February 15, 2016. EPA notes that an 

allocation or lack of allocation of 

allowances to a given unit does not 

constitute a determination that CSAPR 

does or does not apply to the unit. EPA 

also notes that NUSA allocations of 

CSAPR NOX Annual, SO2 Group 1, and 

SO2 Group 2 allowances are subject to 

potential correction if a unit to which 

NUSA allowances have been allocated 

for a given compliance year is not 

actually an affected unit as of January 1 

of the compliance year.1
