Purpose 

The purpose of the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision described in this document is for 

the Missouri Department of Natural Resources’ Air Pollution Control Program (Air Program) to 

assume allocation authority for the Missouri existing unit budget in the Transport Rule (TR) NOx

Annual Trading Program for the 2016 control period under the U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency’s (EPA) Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR). The Air Program is submitting a SIP 

revision with adjusted individual unit level allocations that will replace the allocations from the 

existing unit budget established by the CSAPR Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) for the 2016 

control period. 

This supplemental document outlines the purpose, background, and authority to submit as a SIP 

revision the unit level allowance allocations for existing TR NOx Annual units in Missouri for 

the 2016 control period. This supplemental document will be submitted to EPA, but the Air 

Program is only requesting SIP approval of the allowance allocations being submitted. 

When the federal allowance allocation method is applied to Missouri’s existing unit budget for 

the TR NOx Annual Trading Program for the 2016 control period, there are nine (9) excess 

allowances in the existing unit budget due to rounding. The SIP revision described in this 

document will reallocate four (4) of these nine (9) excess allowances as follows: two (2) 

allowances to the facility owned by the City of Chillicothe and two (2) allowances to the facility 

owned by the City of Higginsville. These two facilities were not allocated any allowances under 

the federal allocation method. All other existing unit budget allowances will be distributed 

identically to the federal allocation method. 

The SIP revision described in this document redistributes emission allowances for the 2016 

control period only. The Air Program is pursuing a separate rulemaking and SIP revision to 

reallocate allowances for the control periods in 2017 and beyond.

1. Background 

In 2005, the EPA finalized a federal emission trading program for the eastern half of the country. 

This trading program was known as the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR). CAIR established 

three different federal emission trading programs that were designed to limit interstate transport 

of emissions that significantly contribute to nonattainment or interfere with maintenance in 

downwind states. States are required to address these emissions in accordance with Clean Air 

Act (CAA) Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I). CAIR addressed these requirements for states that were 

included in the rule for two different NAAQS, the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS, and the 1997 fine 

particulate matter (PM2.5) NAAQS. However, in 2008, the District of Columbia Circuit Court of 

Appeals (D.C. Circuit Court) remanded CAIR to EPA due to deficiencies found in the rule. EPA 

was directed by the courts to write a rule to replace CAIR and address these deficiencies. The 

EPA finalized the CSAPR on August 8, 2011 (76 FR 48208) in response to this court decision 

and was intended to replace CAIR beginning January 1, 2012. 

However, in December 2011, prior to the implementation of CSAPR, the D.C. Circuit Court 

stayed the implementation of CSAPR pending the outcome of litigation that had been filed 

against the CSAPR. Then in August 2012, the D.C. Circuit Court issued a decision vacating 

CSAPR and directed EPA to continue to implement CAIR until they could implement a new 

replacement rule that addresses the Court’s concerns. However, EPA appealed the D.C. Circuit 

Court’s decision to the U.S. Supreme Court and in April 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed 

the D.C. Circuit Court’s decision that vacated the CSAPR. Then in June 2014, EPA filed a 

motion to the D.C. Circuit Court to lift the stay of the CSAPR and delay all compliance dates in 

the rule by three (3) years, which would require that phase I of CSAPR would begin in January 

2015. In October 2014, the D.C. Circuit court granted EPA’s motion to lift the stay of the 

CSAPR, and on December 3, 2014 the EPA promulgated an interim final rule (79 FR 71663) that 

extends the compliance dates of the CSAPR by three (3) years and clarifies that the rule will go 

into effect in 2015. 

The CSAPR establishes four (4) separate federal emission trading programs for states located in 

the eastern half of the country. These four trading programs include the TR SO2 Group 1 

Trading Program, the TR SO2 Group 2 Trading Program, the TR NOx Annual Trading Program, 

and TR NOx Ozone Season Trading Program. States that were found to be significantly 

contributing to a 1997 and/or 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS nonattainment area or interfere with 

maintenance of these PM2.5 NAAQS in a downwind state are included in one of the TR SO2

Trading Programs, along with the TR Annual NOx Trading Program. States that were found to 

be significantly contributing to 1997 Ozone NAAQS nonattainment areas or interfere with 

maintenance of this ozone NAAQS in a downwind state are included in the TR NOx Ozone 

Season Trading Program. 

The final CSAPR, which was published in the federal register on August 8, 2011, includes 

Missouri in the TR SO2 Group 1 Trading Program and the TR NOx Annual Trading Program. 

Missouri was not included in the TR NOx Ozone Season trading program under the final rule. 

However, on December 27, 2011, EPA finalized a supplement to the final CSAPR (76 FR 

80760), which added Missouri and five (5) other states to the TR NOx Ozone Season Trading 

Program. Therefore, Missouri is included in the TR NOx Ozone Season Trading Program 

beginning in 2015. 
3 

EPA is implementing CSAPR through a FIP beginning January 1, 2015 (79 FR 71663). Through 

the CSAPR, every state included in the rule has a statewide emission budget for each trading 

program in which it is included. These statewide budgets consist of a certain amount of 

allowances that are distributed to the CSAPR-affected units in that state. Applicability under the 

TR NOx Ozone Season Trading Program is defined in 40 CFR 97.504. Each allowance permits a 

unit to emit one ton of the respective air pollutant for which the allowance is granted. 

Allowances may be used to cover emissions from a particular unit, they may be banked to be 

used in a future year, or they can be traded or sold to other affected units included in the 

respective trading program. There are several different compliance options for units subject to 

CSAPR. Some examples of compliance options include, but are not limited to, the installation of 

controls to lower emissions, purchasing allowances from units with excess allowances due to 

over-controlling emissions, transfer allowances from one unit to another, fuel-switching, 

improved unit operating procedures, unit efficiency improvements, and modifications to unit 

dispatch order. 

The following two paragraphs are intended to summarize the method used by EPA in setting 

statewide and unit level allowance budgets under the CSAPR. Complete details regarding these 

methods can be found in the preamble to the CSAPR (76 FR 48208 – 48352). 

EPA’s method of setting statewide emission budgets through the CSAPR included the use of the 

future year modeling. EPA took into account all known or planned controls that would be 

operational on all affected units included in the CSAPR by January 1, 2012. EPA also took into 

account all cost effective controls that could be installed to control emissions at CSAPR-affected 

units. The modeling was performed using these inputs, and the emissions computed by the 

model at each unit were summed for each state included in the rule to develop the statewide 

emission budget. These statewide budgets cannot be increased by states through a SIP. 

After calculating the statewide budgets, EPA allocated the allowances to individual units in each 

state. Under the FIP, the statewide budgets for each trading program are divided into two 

different budget pools, the existing unit budget and the new unit set-aside (NUSA). Existing 

units are defined as those in operation on or before January 1, 2010. The NUSA was established 

as a percent of the statewide budget, to cover emissions from units that commenced commercial 

operation after January 1, 2010. The allowances that remain in the statewide budget after the 

NUSA is subtracted make up the existing unit budget. Once these two budget pools were 

established, EPA allocated allowances to individual existing CSAPR-affected units (units that 

commenced operation prior to January 1, 2010) using a method that took into account both 

historical heat input and historical emissions at each unit. 

These individual existing unit level allocations established through the FIP cannot be changed by 

states through a SIP for the 2015 control periods. However, for the 2016 control period, states 

can submit SIPs to alter the individual unit level allocations under the FIP from the existing unit 

budget. The unit level allocations in the NUSA cannot be changed by states through a SIP for 

the 2016 control periods. For the 2017 and beyond control periods, states can submit SIPs to 

alter the individual unit level allocations under the FIP from both the existing unit budget and the 

NUSA.

2. Missouri TR NOx Annual Trading Program SIP Revision for 2016 

2.1 Summary of Federal Allocation Method to Existing Units Under CSAPR 

The following two paragraphs are intended to summarize the method used by EPA to set unit 

level allowance budgets for existing units under the CSAPR. Complete details regarding the 

federal allocation method can be found in the preamble to the CSAPR (76 FR 48208 – 48352). 

Under the federal allocation method of the CSAPR, existing units are distributed allowances 

from the statewide existing unit budget based on their historical heat input and capped at their 

historical maximum emissions. Specifically, the highest (nonzero) three years of each unit’s heat 

input from the control periods in 2006 – 2010 are averaged together. This value is then summed 

with every other unit in the state in order to determine a percentage of historical statewide heat 

input for each unit. This percentage is then multiplied by the statewide existing unit budget to 

calculate the initial allocation for each unit. This value is compared to historical high emissions 

value at that unit from the control periods in 2003 – 2010. If the initial allocation for the unit is 

lower than the historical high emissions value, the unit receives the initial allocation amount. If 

the initial allocation for the unit is higher than the historical high emissions value, the unit 

receives their historical high emissions value as their allocation and the remaining allowances are 

rolled back to the statewide existing unit budget. This process is repeated until the number of 

allowances allocated to existing units equals the amount of allowances in the statewide existing 

unit budget. 

Once the number of allowances allocated to existing units equals the amount of allowances in the 

statewide existing unit budget, all allowances that have been allocated to existing units are 

rounded to the nearest whole number using conventional rounding. If more allowances are 

rounded down than rounded up, there will be excess allowances in the existing unit budget. If 

more allowances are rounded up than rounded down, there will not be enough allowances in the 

existing unit budget to cover the allowances that were allocated. In both cases, under the FIP, 

the difference would be made with the NUSA. In other words, under the FIP, any extra 

allowances in the existing unit budget due to rounding would be transferred to the NUSA, and 

allowances would be taken from the NUSA if needed to cover the existing unit budget as a result 

of rounding. 

2.2 Missouri TR NOx Annual Trading Program Allocation Method for 2016 

Under the SIP 

When the federal allocation method is applied to Missouri’s existing unit budget for the TR NOx

Annual Trading Program for the 2016 control period, there are nine (9) excess allowances due to 

rounding. The SIP revision described in this document will reallocate four (4) of these nine (9) 

excess allowances as follows: two (2) allowances to the facility owned by the City of Chillicothe 

and two (2) allowances to the facility owned by the City of Higginsville. No other changes to 

the existing unit allowance allocations are being made. 

Missouri’s codified TR NOx Annual Trading Program NUSA for the 2016 control period is six 

percent (6%) of the statewide budget, or 3,144 allowances. Missouri’s SIP, as outlined in this 

document, is reallocating four (4) of the nine (9) excess TR NOx Annual allowances to existing 
5 

units. Therefore, if Missouri’s 2016 TR NOx Annual SIP is approved by EPA, five (5) excess 

allowances from the existing unit budget will be placed in the NUSA for the 2016 control period, 

in which case Missouri’s NUSA for the TR NOx Annual Trading Program will contain 3,149 

allowances for the 2016 control period. 

2.3 Authority to Implement this SIP 

Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) of the CAA requires States to develop SIPs to address their significant 

impact on downwind states’ nonattainment and maintenance areas. If a state fails to address 

their significant impact on downwind states, then EPA can implement a FIP. States have the 

authority to revise their SIP in order to replace all or portions of a FIP if the requirements of the 

CAA are met. 

Due to the timing of the requirements under the CSAPR FIP and the corresponding federal 

trading programs established under CSAPR, the EPA has issued regulations defining the states’ 

authority to revise their SIP to replace the individual allocation method portions of the CSAPR 

FIP. 40 CFR 52.38 (a)(3) grants states the right to adopt and submit a SIP revision that would 

replace the TR NOx Annual allowance allocation provisions in 40 CFR 97.411(a) for the 2016 

control period provided that certain requirements are met. These requirements include that the 

State must provide a list of TR NOx Annual Units and the allowances allocated to each of these 

units. All of the units on the list must be located in the state and must have commenced 

commercial operation before January 1, 2010. The total number of allowances must not exceed 

the total statewide budget listed in 40 CFR 97.410(a) for the 2016 control period minus the 

NUSA. The list must be submitted electronically in a format prescribed by EPA, and the SIP 

revisions must not provide for any change in the allocations on the list after approval of the SIP 

by EPA. The State must also have notified EPA of its intent to assume allocation authority for 

2016 electronically in a format prescribed by EPA and the SIP revision must be submitted by 

April 1, 2015 (76 FR 48354). 

As required by CSAPR, on October 17th, 2011, the Air Program notified EPA of its intent to 

assume the allocation authority for 2013 for the TR NOx Annual Trading Program. As clarified 

in EPA’s CSAPR Interim Final rule that was promulgated on December 3, 2014 (79 FR 71663), 

because implementation of the CSAPR was delayed through litigation for three (3) years, the 

letter of intent submitted back in 2011, still satisfies the requirement to submit such a letter in 

order for the state to assume allocation authority for existing units for the 2016 control period. 

The Missouri Air Conservation Commission has the legal authority to develop, implement, and 

enforce regulations regarding air pollution, including the requirements of the SIP submittal 

described in this document, under section 643.050 of the Revised Statues of Missouri, also 

known as the Missouri Air Conservation Law. 

2.4 Public Participation and Outreach 

In accordance with Section 110(a)(2) of the CAA, Missouri is required to hold a public hearing 

prior to adoption of a SIP revision and the subsequent submittal to the EPA. The Department 

notified the public and other interested parties of the public hearing and comment period thirty 

(30) days prior to holding such hearing for the SIP revision described in this document as 

follows: 
6 

 Notice of availability of the SIP revision described in this document was posted on the 

Department of Natural Resources’ Air Pollution Control Program website by December 

29, 2014: http://www.dnr.mo.gov/env/apcp/stateplanrevisions.htm

 The public hearing on the SIP revision described in this document was held on January 

29, 2015, at 9:00 a.m. CST at the Bennett Springs Conference Room, 1730 E. Elm Street, 

Jefferson City, MO 65101. 

 The comment period for the SIP revision described in this document opened on 

December 29, 2014 and closed on February 5, 2015, at 5:00 p.m. CST, which was seven 

(7) days after the public hearing. 

The Air Program also held several stakeholder meetings and conference calls with CSAPRaffected facilities since the final CSAPR was promulgated on August 8, 2011. The goal of these 

meetings was to discuss the SIP revisions to assume allowance allocation authority under the 

CSAPR. 

2.5 Missouri TR NOx Annual Trading Program Allocations for 2016 

Table 1, below, summarizes Missouri’s TR NOx Annual Trading Program Allocations for the 

2016 control period. Appendix A includes the same allocations as Table 1, but is presented in 

EPA’s prescribed format for submitting state allocations under the CSAPR. 

For clarity, the following list notes the differences between Table 1 and Appendix A: 

 Table 1 includes the facility plant names and ORIS codes for each facility; Appendix A 

includes the facility compliance account numbers that correspond to each plant as 

opposed to their names and 

 Table 1 includes the state name in each row; Appendix A includes the state’s primary 

reserve account number from which the allocations will be transferred to each facility. 

 Table 1 does not have a specific column to indicate the vintage year of the allocations. 

Appendix A has a column to specify that the vintage year of the all the allocations is 

2016. 

 When Appendix A is submitted to EPA, it will be submitted electronically as a Microsoft 

Excel document and will be titled Missouri 2016 Existing Unit Allocations – TR NOx 

Annual Trading Program. 

By April 1, 2015, the Air Program will submit a SIP revision to EPA with Missouri’s TR NOx

Annual Trading Program Allocations for the 2016 control period. The SIP revision will contain 

the table in Appendix A, and will be submitted electronically in the format prescribed by EPA.

annual allowances under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Cross-State Air Pollution Rule. 

Two NOx annual allowances each will be distributed to the City of Chillicothe and the City of 

Higginsville. These two municipalities would have received zero allowances under the federal allocation 

method. All other existing unit budget allowances will be distributed following the federal allocation

method. This SIP revision redistributes emission allowances for the 2016 control period only. The 

Missouri Department of Natural Resources’ Air Pollution Control Program is pursuing a separate

2 findings. I'm on the wrong page. I got ahead of my

3 myself.

4 MARK LEATH, having been first duly sworn, testifies as

5 follows:

6 MR. LEATH: Mr. Chairman, members of the

7 Commission. My name is Mark Leath. I am employed as an

8 environmental engineer with the Missouri Department of

9 Natural Resources' Air Pollution Control Program. I work

10 at 1659 East Elm Street, Jefferson City, Missouri.

11 I am here today to present testimony on two

12 proposed Missouri State Implementation Plan or the SIP

13 revisions entitled, "Cross-State Air Pollution Rule, or

14 CSAPR, NOx Annual Trading Program, and Cross-State Air

15 Pollution Rule NOx Ozone Season Trading Program." The

16 executive summaries for these two plans start in the

17 briefing document on pages 99 and 105, respectively.

18 If it pleases the Commission, I would like to

19 present both plans together.

20 The CSAPR is a federal rule designed to reduce

21 the interstate transport of power plant emissions through

22 an EPA-administered emission cap-and-trade program. CSAPR

MISSOURI STATE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN – 

CROSS-STATE AIR POLLUTION RULE (CSAPR) 

NOx ANNUAL TRADING PROGRAM 

On January 29, 2014, the Missouri Air Conservation Commission held a public hearing for a 

revision to the Missouri State Implementation Plan (SIP) entitled – Cross-State Air Pollution 

Rule (CSAPR) NOx Annual Trading Program. A summary of comments received and the Air 

Program’s corresponding responses is included on the following page. No revisions were made 

to the proposed plan as a result of comments received. 

The plan has not been reprinted in the briefing document due to its volume. The entire plan is 

available for review at the Missouri Department of Natural Resources’ Air Pollution Control 

Program, 1659 East Elm Street, Jefferson City, Missouri, 65101, (573)751-4817. It is also

Protection Agency for inclusion in the Missouri State Implementation Plan. 
COMMENTS AND RESPONSES ON 

PROPOSED REVISION TO 

MISSOURI STATE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN – 

CROSS-STATE AIR POLLUTION RULE (CSAPR) 

NOx ANNUAL TRADING PROGRAM 

The public comment period for the proposed revision to the Missouri State Implementation Plan 

(SIP) for the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) NOx Annual Trading Program opened on 

December 29, 2014 and closed on February 5, 2015. No revisions to the proposed plan were 

made as a result of comments. However, minor clarifications and revisions were made to the 

supplemental document that will accompany the plan as a result of internal review. 

The following is a summary of comments received and the Missouri Department of Natural 

Resources’ Air Pollution Control Program’s (Air Program’s) corresponding responses. 

SUMMARY OF COMMENTS: During the public comment period for the proposed plan, the 

Air Program did not receive any comments. 

SUMMARY OF MINOR CHANGES: The SIP revision being proposed for adoption only consists 

of the list of existing CSAPR units and their corresponding NOx Annual Allocations for the 2016 

control period under CSAPR. The supplemental document that will accompany the SIP revision 

describes the background, purpose, and authority to submit this list as a SIP revision to the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Accordingly, the document describing the SIP revision 

has been renamed for clarity to show that it is a supplemental document that will accompany the 

SIP revision. The Air Program is only requesting SIP approval of the list that will be submitted and 

not the document itself. In addition to the title change of the supplemental document, other minor 

changes and clarifications were made to the supplemental document as follows: 

 Throughout the document, minor narrative changes were made to provide clarity that only 

the list of allocations will be submitted as a SIP revision and that the document only 

explains the background, purpose, and authority to do so. 

 A list was added to subsection 2.5 of the document to clearly explain the differences 

between the information displayed in Table 1 of the document and the information 

displayed in Appendix A, which will be submitted to EPA as the SIP revision. 

 References to EPA’s CSAPR Interim Final Rule, which was promulgated in December 

2014, were added to section 1 and subsection 2.3 of the document.
