Acid Rain Program: Notice of Annual 

Adjustment Factors for Excess 

Emissions Penalty 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of annual adjustment 

factors for excess emissions penalty. 

SUMMARY: The Acid Rain Program under 

title IV of the Clean Air Act provides for 

automatic excess emissions penalties in 

dollars per ton of excess emissions for 

sources that do not meet their annual 

Acid Rain emissions limitations. This 

notice states the dollars per ton excess 

emissions penalty amounts, which must 

be adjusted for each compliance year 

commensurate with changes in the 

Consumer Price Index (CPI), for 

compliance years 2013 and 2014. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Robert L. Miller, Clean Air Markets 

Division (6204J), U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania 

Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460, at 

(202) 343–9077 or miller.robertl@

epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Acid 

Rain Program under title IV of the Clean 

Air Act limits annual sulfur dioxide and 

nitrogen oxide emissions of fossil fuelfired utility units. Under the Acid Rain 

Program, affected sources must hold 

enough allowances to cover their sulfur 

dioxide emissions, and certain coalfired sources must meet an emission 

limit for nitrogen oxides. Under 40 CFR 

77.6, sources that do not meet these 

requirements must pay a penalty 

without demand to the Administrator 

based on the number of excess tons 

emitted times $2,000 as adjusted by an 

annual adjustment factor, which must 

be published in the Federal Register. 

The annual adjustment factor for 

adjusting the penalty for excess 

emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen 

oxides under 40 CFR 77.6(b) for 

compliance year 2013 is 1.8489. This 

value is derived using the CPI for 1990 

and 2012 (defined respectively at 40 

CFR 72.2 as the CPI for August of the 

year before the specified year for all 

urban consumers) and results in an 

automatic penalty of $3,698 per excess 

ton of sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides 

emitted for 2013. 

The annual adjustment factor for 

adjusting the penalty for such excess 

emissions under 40 CFR 77.6(b) for 

compliance year 2014 is 1.8770. This 

value is derived using the CPI for 1990 

and 2013 and results in an automatic 

penalty of $3,754 per excess ton of 

sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides 

emitted for 2014. 

Dated: September 30, 2013.

Director, Clean Air Markets Division, Office 

of Atmospheric Programs, Office of Air and
