Information Regarding Allowances 

Used in Cross-State Air Pollution Rule 

(CSAPR) Trading Programs 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of data availability. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is providing notice of the 

availability of data on emission 

allowance allocations to certain units 

under the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule 

(CSAPR) trading programs. EPA has 

completed preliminary calculations for 

the allocations of allowances from the 

new unit set-asides (NUSAs) for the 

2023 control periods and has posted 

spreadsheets containing the calculations 

on EPA’s website. EPA will consider 

timely objections to the preliminary 

calculations (including objections 

concerning the identification of units 

eligible for allocations) before 

determining the final amounts of the 

allocations. Additionally, EPA is 

making available an estimate of the data 

and calculations to be used in the 

allowance bank recalibration process for 

the 2024 control period under the 

CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 

Trading Program. 

DATES: Objections to the information 

referenced in this notice concerning 

NUSA allocations must be received on 

or before April 1, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your objections via 

email to CSAPR@epa.gov. Include 

‘‘2023 NUSA allocations’’ in the email 

subject line and include your name, 

title, affiliation, address, phone number, 

and email address in the body of the 

email.

15200 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 42 / Friday, March 1, 2024 / Notices 

1The CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 Trading 

Program serves as the compliance mechanism for 

electricity generating units under the Good 

Neighbor Plan (88 FR 36654, June 5, 2023). As of 

the date of signature of this notice, applications for 

a stay of the Good Neighbor Plan are pending before 

the Supreme Court of the United States. If a stay 

order is issued and depending on its nature, it 

could affect EPA’s ability to implement the 

regulatory provisions of the CSAPR NOX Ozone 

Season Group 3 Trading Program that are described 

in this notice. 2See note 1, supra. 

allocations, a portion of each state’s 

emissions budget for the program for 

each control period is reserved in a 

NUSA (and, under most of the trading 

programs, in an additional Indian 

country NUSA in the case of states with 

Indian country within their borders) for 

allocation to certain units that would 

not otherwise receive allowance 

allocations. The procedures for 

identifying the eligible units for each 

control period and for allocating 

allowances from the NUSAs and Indian 

country NUSAs to these units are set 

forth in the CSAPR trading program 

regulations at 40 CFR 97.411(b) and 

97.412 (NOX Annual), 97.511(b) and 

97.512 (NOX Ozone Season Group 1), 

97.611(b) and 97.612 (SO2 Group 1), 

97.711(b) and 97.712 (SO2 Group 2), 

97.811(b) and 97.812 (NOX Ozone 

Season Group 2), and 97.1012 (NOX

Ozone Season Group 3). Each NUSA 

allowance allocation process involves 

allocations to eligible units, termed 

‘‘new’’ units, followed by the allocation 

to ‘‘existing’’ units of any allowances 

not allocated to new units.1

This notice concerns preliminary 

calculations for the NUSA allowance 

allocations for the 2023 control periods. 

Generally, the allocation procedures call 

for each eligible ‘‘new’’ unit to receive 

a 2023 NUSA allocation equal to its 

2023 control period emissions as 

reported under 40 CFR part 75 unless 

the total of such allocations to all such 

eligible units would exceed the amount 

of allowances in the NUSA, in which 

case the allocations are reduced on a 

pro-rata basis. (EPA notes that, under 40 

CFR 97.406(c)(3), 97.506(c)(3), 

97.606(c)(3), 97.706(c)(3), 97.806(c)(3), 

and 97.1006(c)(3), a unit’s emissions 

occurring before its monitor certification 

deadline are not considered to have 

occurred during a control period and 

consequently are not included in the 

emission amounts used to determine 

NUSA allocations.) Any allowances not 

allocated to eligible ‘‘new’’ units are 

allocated to the state’s ‘‘existing’’ units 

in proportion to such existing units’ 

previous allocations from the portion of 

the respective state’s emissions budget 

for the control period that was not 

reserved in a NUSA (or Indian country 

NUSA). 

The detailed unit-by-unit data and 

preliminary allowance allocation 

calculations for ‘‘new’’ units are set 

forth in Excel spreadsheets titled 

‘‘CSAPR_NUSA_2023_NOX_Annual_

Prelim_Data_New_Units’’, ‘‘CSAPR_

NUSA_2023_NOX_OS_Prelim_Data_

New_Units’’, and ‘‘CSAPR_NUSA_

2023_SO2_Prelim_Data_New_Units’’, 

available on EPA’s website at 

www.epa.gov/csapr/csapr-allowanceallocations#nusa. Each of the 

spreadsheets contains a separate 

worksheet for each state covered by that 

program showing, for each unit 

identified as eligible for a NUSA 

allocation, (1) the unit’s emissions in 

the 2023 control period (annual or 

ozone season as applicable), (2) the 

maximum 2023 NUSA allowance 

allocation for which the unit is eligible 

(typically the unit’s emissions in the 

2023 control period), (3) various 

adjustments to the unit’s maximum 

allocation if the NUSA pool is 

oversubscribed, and (4) the preliminary 

calculation of the unit’s 2023 NUSA 

allowance allocation. 

Each state worksheet for ‘‘new’’ units 

also contains a summary showing (1) 

the quantity of allowances initially 

available in that state’s 2023 NUSA, (2) 

the sum of the 2023 NUSA allowance 

allocations that will be made to new 

units in that state, assuming there are no 

corrections to the data, and (3) the 

quantity of allowances that would 

remain in the 2023 NUSA for allocation 

to existing units, again assuming there 

are no corrections to the data. 

The preliminary calculations of 

allocations of the remaining unallocated 

allowances to ‘‘existing’’ units are set 

forth in Excel spreadsheets titled 

‘‘CSAPR_NUSA_2023_NOX_Annual_

Prelim_Data_Existing_Units’’, ‘‘CSAPR_

NUSA_2023_NOX_OS_Prelim_Data_

Existing_Units’’, and ‘‘CSAPR_NUSA_

2023_SO2_Prelim_Data_Existing_

Units’’, available at the same location. 

Objections should be strictly limited 

to the data and calculations upon which 

the NUSA allowance allocations are 

based and should be emailed to the 

address identified in ADDRESSES. 

Objections must include: (1) precise 

identification of the specific data and/or 

calculations the commenter believes are 

inaccurate, (2) new proposed data and/ 

or calculations upon which the 

commenter believes EPA should rely 

instead to determine allowance 

allocations, and (3) the reasons why 

EPA should rely on the commenter’s 

proposed data and/or calculations and 

not the data referenced in this notice. 

EPA notes that an allocation or lack 

of allocation of allowances to a given 

unit under a given CSAPR trading 

program does not constitute a 

determination that the trading program 

does or does not apply to the unit. EPA 

also notes that, under 40 CFR 97.411(c), 

97.511(c), 97.611(c), 97.711(c), 

97.811(c), 97.1011(c), and 97.1012(c), 

allocations are subject to potential 

correction if a unit to which allowances 

have been allocated for a given control 

period is not actually an affected unit as 

of the start of that control period. 

II. Information for the Allowance Bank 

Recalibration Procedures 

The CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 

3 Trading Program includes provisions 

calling for EPA to annually recalibrate 

the bank of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season 

Group 3 allowances if the total quantity 

of banked allowances from previous 

control periods held in all facility and 

general accounts after compliance 

deductions for those control periods 

exceeds an allowance bank ceiling target 

for the current control period. The 

allowance bank recalibration procedures 

are set forth in the trading program 

regulations at 40 CFR 97.1026(d). 

Generally, if recalibration takes place for 

a given control period, the amount of 

banked CSAPR NOX Ozone Season 

Group 3 allowances from previous 

control periods held in each facility or 

general account will be adjusted so that 

the amount of such banked allowances 

held in the account after recalibration 

will equal the amount held in the 

account immediately before 

recalibration multiplied by the 

allowance bank ceiling target, divided 

by the total amount of such banked 

allowances held in all facility and 

general accounts immediately before 

recalibration, and rounded up to the 

nearest allowance. Allowance bank 

recalibration for a given control period 

applies only to holdings of banked 

allowances issued for previous control 

periods; it does not affect any holdings 

of allowances issued for that control 

period. The regulations call for EPA to 

carry out the allowance bank 

recalibration procedures for the 2024 

control period as soon as practicable on 

or after August 1, 2024.2

For the 2024 control period, the 

allowance bank ceiling target is 

expected to be 12,605 tons, computed as 

21% the sum of the 2024 state emission 

budgets for the ten states currently 

covered by the trading program. Based 

on the emissions and allowance data 

available at campd.epa.gov as of the 

date of signature of this notice, EPA 

estimates that after allowance 

deductions for 2023 compliance are 

completed in June 2024, approximately 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 42 / Friday, March 1, 2024 / Notices 15201 

38,585 banked vintage 2021–2023 

allowances will be held in facility or 

general accounts (84,378 current 

allowance holdings + 3,365 upcoming 

NUSA allocations¥49,158 reported 

2023 ozone season emissions = 38,585 

estimated remaining allowances). Based 

on these figures, EPA expects that 

allowance bank recalibration will take 

place for the 2024 control period and 

estimates that the amount of banked 

vintage 2021–2023 allowances that will 

be held in each facility or general 

account after recalibration will be the 

amount of such banked allowances held 

in the account immediately before 

recalibration multiplied by 12,605 and 

divided by 38,585 (or, equivalently, the 

amount of such banked allowances held 

in the account immediately before 

recalibration multiplied by 

approximately 33%). In the actual 

allowance bank recalibration process, 

instead of using the estimated figures 

described in this notice, EPA will use 

the most current information available 

as of the recalibration date.
