Instructions for SO 2 

## Allowance Offer Form (2009)

EPA Allowance Auct ions (40 CFR 73.70 - 73.71)

EPA will hold auctions for spot and 7

- year advance SO 2 

### emission allowances on March 24, 2009. In the spot

auction, EPA will sell allowances first useable in 2009. In the 7

- year advance auction, EPA will sell allowances fi rst useable for compliance in 2016. Any holder of allowances may contribute allowances dated 2009 or earlier, or 2016

to the EPA auctions. **Allowances dated 2008 or earlier cannot be offered from facility accounts because 2008**

**compliance has not yet been determined.**  EPA will sell offered allowances after selling the allowances from the

EPA reserve. You may specify a minimum acceptable price for your allowances, i.e., a price below which your
allowances cannot be sold. Offered allowances must reside in your Allowance Tracking System account at the time

EPA processes this form.

If you need more space, photocopy the pertinent page. When y ou have completed the form, indicate the page order and total number of pages ( e.g. , 1 of 4, 2 of 4, etc.) on each page in the spaces provided at the top right hand corner of the page.

EPA will accept Acid Rain Program submissions from either the authorized account representative (AAR) or

the alternate AAR.

If you need assistance, call Kenon Smith at (202) 343

- 9164.

S TEP 2 A separate offer form is required for:

**•** each auction in which allowances are

offered, and

**•** separate offers with different minimum

prices. (You may photocopy this form if you wish to make multiple offers.)

STEP 3 Lis t by serial number the allowances to be offered. You may specify a block of allowances having the same use year by entering the serial

number of the first allowance in the block in "Start Number" and entering the serial number

of the last allowance in the block in "End

Number." Separa te blocks having the same use year must be entered on different lines.

**•** Enter the Start Number and End Number

in the appropriate columns.

**•** Enter the number of allowances to be

offered in the "Total" column.

**•** Verify the accuracy of your entries by

comput ing one of the following simple equations reflecting the equivalent relationships:

Start Number = End Number - Total + 1

or End Num ber = Start Number + Total - 1

You wi ll be prohibited from transferring the allowances you have offered for sale before the date of the auctions. If your allowances are not
sold in the auctions, EPA will lift the transfer restriction on your offered allowances immediately following the auctions.

STEP 4 You may specify a minimum sale price for your

all owances. If bid prices are below this minimum, EPA will not sell your

allowances. STEP 5 In the event that fewer allowances will be sold than are offered, EPA will sell a portion of your offered allowances to the bidder unless you indicate on the form that you a re not willing to sell fewer allowances than the total(s) listed in Step 3.

STEP 6 Include your 9 digit Taxpayer Identification number (e.g., social security number), ABA routing number, and bank account information so the money can be wired to your bank account if your allowances are

sold. EPA uses the Automated Clearing House (ACH) payment system to make distributions, so make sure the ABA routing number is for ACH payments, not for wire

transfers.
