Executive Summary In a previous proposal publis hed on October 14, 2011 (76 FR 63860), EPA identified potential errors in unit specific modeling assumptions that affect the proper calculation of Transport Rule state budgets and assurance levels in Florida, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Texas, and Wisconsin, as well as potential errors affecting the proper calculation of new unit set - asides in Arkansas and Texas. EPA is now taking final action to: (1) revise Michigan’s annual NO X budget to account for an erroneously a ssumed selective catalytic reduction (SCR) emission control device at one unit; (2) revise Nebraska’s annual NO X budget to account for an erroneously assumed SCR emission control device at one*** E.O. 12866 Review_ Revised Version_CSAPR Rule Revisions_RIN 2060

Page 8 of 98 section IV. A of this preamble for a discussion of these revisions and any additional changes. The proposed revisions to state budgets also entailed proposed revisions to the affected states' assurance levels, as the variability limit component of the assurance level for each state is calculated as a percentage of the applicable budget. Therefore, for each revision EPA is finalizing to a state budget, EPA is also finalizing corresponding revisions to the calculation of that state’s variability limit and assurance level pertinent to that state budget. Assurance levels are only applicable to 2014 and beyond, given the 2014 effective date of the assurance provisions as described below and in section IV.C of this preamble. The revised budgets maintain substantial emission reductions from historic levels and are consistent with the final Transport Rule’s methodology for defining significant contribution and interference with maintenance. 2 No changes to that methodology were proposed, and EPA did not reopen the methodology established in the final Transport Rule for public comment. EPA also did not propose any change to the levels of stringency (i.e., cost per ton) selected in the final Transport Rule’s determination of significant contribution and interference with maintenance and did no t reopen that issue for public comment. For more information, see the “ Final Revisions Rule Significant
2 Throughout this preamble, EPA refers to a state budget for 2012 and 2013 as a “2012” state budget and refers to a state budget for 2014 and ther eafter as a “2014” state budget. Therefore, any revision of a 2012 state budget would apply to the state budget for 2012 and 2013, and any revision of a 2014 state budget would apply to the state budget for 2014 and thereafter.*** E.O. 12866 Review_ Revised Version_CSAPR Rule Revisions_RIN 2060

Page 9 of 98 Contribution Assessment Technical Support Document” in the docket for this rulemaking. In the proposed revisions rule, EPA solicited further informat ion from the public that may support similar revisions to Transport Rule state budgets or new unit set asides (76 FR 63868) . EPA believed that the scope of such information supporting potential revisions wa s limited, considering that EPA ha d already condu cted several notice and- comment processes through initial proposal of the Transport Rule and multiple notices of data availability (NODAs) to prompt the public to provide the relevant input information that informs the calculation of the Transport Rule sta te budgets. By providing, in this rulemaking, an additional opportunity for comment on aspects of Transport Rule state budgets, EPA also addressed some of the issues and concerns raised in many of the petitions for administrative reconsideration of the fi nal Transport Rule. Based on relevant comments received that merited revisions, EPA is making additional revisions in a separate direct final rule with parallel proposal rulemaking. EPA also proposed revisions to allowance allocations at certain units in six states that are affected by existing utility consent decrees. When establishing the state budgets under the final Transport Rule, EPA accounted for the emission reduction requirements of these consent decrees; therefore, the Transport Rule state budgets sustain the environmental protection secured by those existing utility consent decrees. However, when dividing those state budgets into individual unit - level allowance allocations, EPA included allowance allocations to certain*** E.O. 12866 Review_ Revised Version_CSAPR Rule Revisions_RIN 2060

Page 10 of 98 units that exceed those units’ allowable emissions under the terms of the applicable consent decree. Because EPA already secured the environmental improvements required by the consent decrees by incorporating their emission reductions into the Transport Rule state budgets, there is no environmental need to prevent the allowances from being used for compliance by sources subject to the Transport Rule, aside from those sources whose emissions are restricted by the terms of the consent decrees to which they are subject. Therefore, EPA proposed to revise Transport Rule unit - level allowance allocations to the specific units affected by these consent decrees to reflect their maximum allowable emissions, such that none of the allowances affected by the consent decrees are unnecessarily removed from use for compliance by other units. EPA proposed this revision to benefit program implementation. EPA is finalizing this revision as proposed, with small adjustment s to reflect provisions under existing consent decrees that account for extrao rdinary events. See section IV.B of this preamble for further explanation of Transport Rule units also covered by existing utility consent decrees. EPA is finalizing its proposal to revise the assurance penalty provisions of the Transport Rule to make them effective January 1, 2014. The revision of the effective date of the assurance provisions will promote the development of allowance market liquidity, thereby smoothing the transition from the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) programs, which were tempora rily re - instated as of the Court’s action on December 30, 2011 to stay the*** E.O. 12866 Review_ Revised Version_CSAPR Rule Revisions_RIN 2060

Page 11 of 98 Transport Rule, at such time as the Court lifts the stay of the Transport Rule and provides clarity on implementation dates for the Transport Rule programs. See section IV.C of thi s preamble for a further discussion of the assurance provisions effective date . EPA is also finaliz ing corrections to typographical errors in certain sections of rule text in parts 52 and 97 of the final Transport Rule. See section IV.D of this preamble f or further explanation of these corrections. On December 30, 2011, the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in EME Homer City Generation, L.P., v. Environmental Protection Agency , No. 11 - 1302 (EME Homer City) issued an Order staying the final Transport Ru le . While this action revises that rule, it is consistent with and is unaffected by the Court’s Order staying the underlying final Transport Rule. F inalizing this action in and of itself does not impose any requirements on regulated units or states. IV. Specific Revisions A. Budget/New Unit Set

Page 12 of 98 EPA is finalizing revisions to Michigan’s 2012 and 2014 annual NO X budgets as proposed. This action revises the assumption of an SCR at Monroe Unit 2. This SCR is planned, but is not expected to be online in 2012 or 2014. Commenters did not identify any errors that would invalidate EPA's approach to making the proposed revisions addressing Monroe Unit 2. This results in a 5,228 ton increase in the state’s annual NO X budget. See “Final Revisions Rule State Budgets and New Unit Set -Asides TSD” in the docket for this rulemaking for a quantitative demonstration of th e s e revision s . EPA adj usted Michigan’s 2012 and 2014 ozone - season NO X budget s to reflect the corrections to the Monroe Unit 2 emissions when it included Michigan in the Transport Rule ozone - season NO X program ( 76 FR 80760, December 27 , 2011), as previously proposed (76 FR 40662 , July 11, 2011). (2) Increase Nebraska’s 2012 and 2014 annual NO X budgets in accordance with a revision to the final Transport Rule analysis that erroneously assumed that an SCR exists at Nebraska City Unit 1. EPA is finalizing Nebraska’s 2012 and 2014 annual NO X budgets, as proposed, to correct an assumption that an SCR exists at Nebraska City Unit 1. There is no SCR that is present, planned, or under construction at the unit. Commenters did not identify any errors that would invalidate EPA's approach to addressing Nebraska City Unit 1. This adjustment results in an increase of 3,599 tons to the state’s annual NO X budget. See “Final Revisions Rule*** E.O. 12866 Review_ Revised Version_CSAPR Rule Revisions_RIN 2060

Page 14 of 98 identify any errors that would invalidate EPA's approach to addressing J.T. Deely Units 1 and 2 or W.A. Parish Unit 6. EPA is also finalizing an increase to the Texas SO 2 budget in accordance with revised assumptions regarding the SO 2 removal efficiency of existing scrubbers on units at the Martin Lake, Monticello, Sandow, W.A. Parish, and Oklaunion facilities. These facilities in Texas currently face immediate - term limitations regarding the amount of flue gas that can be treated in their existing FGDs. In the final Transport Rule analysis, EPA relied on the SO 2 removal efficiency that these f acilities reported at their scrubbers to the Energy Information Administration (EIA). However, EPA has since determined that these particular facilities’ reports only intended to address the removal efficiency for the portion of the flue gas treated in th e scrubber. For this reason, that removal efficiency should not be applied to the total amount of sulfur combusted in the coal consumed (as some of the flue gas at these units must be vented without being treated in the scrubber as originally constructed) . When the SO 2 removal rates are decreased to reflect the reported operational constraint of each affected scrubber’s flue gas treatment, the projected emission level for Texas, after all significant contribution and interference with maintenance identifi ed in the final Transport Rule is addressed, correspondingly rises. In the proposed revisions rule, EPA quantified this revision using these scrubbers’ SO 2 removal efficiencies as reported for 2008 on EIA form 923. Public comments on the rule pointed out that data reported by these units on EIA*** E.O. 12866 Review_ Revised Version_CSAPR Rule Revisions_RIN 2060

Page 15 of 98 form 860 offered more technically detailed explanation of these scrubbers’ SO 2 removal efficiencies. In addition, EPA based all of its assumptions of existing scrubber performance in the final Transport Rule analysis on values reported by sources on EIA form 860 , as EPA believes this data captures scrubber performance capability as opposed to performance in any particular year , which can vary depending on the frequency that a f acility chooses to operate its FGD. 3 EPA believes that basing the effective removal rate for these units on EIA 860 constitutes a more accurate and reliable data source for this rulemaking, and EPA is finalizing this revision using this data as the basis for the recalculated projected emissions at these units, which inform the state budget . In accordance with the revised unit - level input assumptions regarding existing scrubbers and adjustments to the flue gas treatment calculations at the Texas units des cribed above, EPA is increasing the state’s 2012 and 2014 SO 2 budgets each by 50,517 tons. See “Final Revisions Rule State Budgets and New Unit Set -Asides TSD” in the docket for this rulemaking for a quantitative demonstration of these revisions. (4) Increase Arkansas’ ozone - season NO X new unit set aside in accordance with revisions to the final Transport Rule’s calculation of the new unit set - aside that erroneously omitted Plum Point Unit 1’s projected emissions.
3 For example, the same fac ilities for which EPA proposed these revisions reported higher scrubber SO 2 removal efficiencies in 2009 on the EIA 923 form than they reported on the same form in 2008.*** E.O. 12866 Review_ Revised Version_CSAPR Rule Revisions_RIN 2060

Page 16 of 98 EPA is finalizing an increase of 3 p ercent to the portion of Arkansas’ ozone - season budget dedicated to the new unit set - aside account. This change yields a total new unit set - aside of 5 percent as the portion of Arkansas’ ozone - season budget dedicated to the new unit set - aside account (as opposed to the 2 percent previously established under the final Transport Rule). The revision is consistent with the new unit set - aside methodology described in the final rule. As explained in the proposal, the updated value simply reflects the revised c lassification of Plum Point Unit 1, which commenced commercial operation on or after January 1, 2010, as a new unit for purposes of unit - level allowance allocations under the final Transport Rule’s unit - level allocation methodology (76 FR 48290). Commente rs did not identify any errors that would invalidate EPA's approach to addressing Plum Point Unit 1. See the “ Final Revisions Rule State Budgets and New Unit Set -Asides TSD ” in the docket for this rulemaking for a quantitative demonstration of th e s e revis ion s .

EPA is finalizing a revision to the calculation of the new unit set - asides for ozone - season NO X , annual NO X , and SO 2 in Texas to reflect the revised classification of one unit as a new unit for purposes of unit - level allowance allocation. As explaine d in the proposal, this unit, Oak Grove Unit 2, commenced commercial operation on or after January 1, 2010, and should be considered a new unit under the final Transport Rule’s unit - level allocation methodology. Including this unit’s projected emissions i n the calculation yields revised new unit set - asides of 4 percent of the state’s ozone - season NO X budget, 4 percent of the state’s annual NO X budget, and 5 percent of the state’s SO 2 budget. Commenters did not identify any errors that would invalidate EPA 's approach to addressing Oak Grove Unit 2.

Page 18 of 98 England Unit 1 and to reflect operational constraints likely to n ecessitate non - economic dispatch at six other facilities . EPA is finalizing New Jersey’s ozone - season NO X , annual NO X , and SO 2 budgets to reflect revisions to assumed control technologies at BL England Unit 1 (2012 only) and operational con straints affecting units at six other facilities. Commenters did not identify any errors that would invalidate EPA's approach to making the proposed revisions addressing BL England Unit 1, which were described in the proposal (76 FR 63865). EPA is also f inalizing revisions to New Jersey’s state budgets based on information demonstrating that northern New Jersey is an out - of -merit - order dispatch area. Units at six New Jersey plants (Bergen, Edison, Essex, Kearny, Linden, and Sewaren Generating Stations) a re frequently dispatched out of regional economic order as a result of short - run limitations on the ability to meet local electricity demand with generation from outside the area. EPA is making only a minor adjustment in the way these budget revisions are calculated based on public comments regarding the eligible sources of generation that would be offset by the assumption of increased generation at the identified units. Commenters argued that cogeneration units would be less likely than other generators to adjust their dispatch in order to maintain the system’s equilibrium between electricity supply and demand, as operation of these units would remain supported by steam demand. EPA agrees with these commenters and has recalculated the associated budget*** E.O. 12866 Review_ Revised Version_CSAPR Rule Revisions_RIN 2060

EPA re - calculated projected emissions from BL England Unit 1 and the six plants with near - term out - of -merit - order generation to account for the input assumption changes finalized in this action. These calculations yield increases to the New Jersey 2012 state budgets for SO 2 of 2,096 tons, annual NO X of 952 tons, and ozone - season NO X of 746 tons; and 2014 state budget increases for annual NO X of 679 tons, and ozone - season NO X of 349 tons.

Page 21 of 98 EPA is finalizing increases to the New York state ozone - season NO X , annual NO X , and SO 2 budgets in 2012 and 2014 , to satisfy three specific immediate - term operatio nal constraints documented by the New Y ork Independent System Operator ( NYISO). These three constraints are referred to here as the N - 1 - 1 Contingency, the Minimum Oil Burn Rules, and out - of -merit - order dispatch conditions, which collectively affect the li kely 2012 and 2014 operations of specific units in the New York City and Long Island areas. See the proposal to this rule for details (76 FR 63865 , October 14, 2011). Commenters did not identify any errors that would invalidate EPA's approach to addressin g the units identified by the proposal with near - term out - of merit - order generation in New York State . EPA re - calculated projected emissions from the units identified in the proposal at Arthur Kill Generating Station, Ravenswood, Astoria Generat ing Station, and Northport facilities with near - term out - of -merit - order generation to account for the input assumption changes finalized in this action.

Page 25 of 98 (12) Increase Florida’s 2012 ozone - season NO X budget in accordance with a revision to the final Transport Rul e analysis to reflect the immediate - term unavailability of Crystal River Unit 3, a nuclear unit. EPA is finalizing the increase of 819 tons to Florida’s 2012 ozone - season NO X budget as proposed. As explained in the proposal, Crystal River Unit 3 is curr ently experiencing an extended outage that renders its nuclear generation unavailable in the immediate future (76 FR 63867). EPA received public comments requesting that this revision to Florida’s ozone - season NO X budget be extended into 2014 and beyond, on the basis that future generation from Crystal River Unit 3 is uncertain. EPA does not believe this revision has merit on that timeframe . 4 Commenters did not provide any evidence that Crystal River Unit 3 would fail to return to service upon the conclus ion of the current extended outage, and the unit is in fact expected to return to service in 2014 . 5 Furthermore, EPA notes that the potential outage of a nuclear unit in any given year is a scenario that the Transport Rule’s assurance provisions were expl icitly designed to

Page 26 of 98 accommodate. The final Transport Rule’s methodology for calculating variability limits (the degree to which a state’s emissions are permitted to exceed its budget in any given year under the program) is based on a decade - long observatio n of historic year - to - year variability in states’ heat input at covered units, which would capture the impact of disruptions at other sources of generation (such as a nuclear outage) on emissions at covered units. As EPA explained in the final Transport Rule, a state budget represents remaining emissions at covered units in an average year after the elimination of significant contribution and interference with maintenance, whereas the variability limit accommodates year - to - year fluctuation of state - level emissions around that average outcome consistent with historically observed year - to - year variability in state - level heat input at covered units. EPA believes it is appropriate to quantify an “average year” of projected emissions in Florida for 2014 and beyond to include projected generation from Crystal River Unit 3, while allowing the variability limit to accommodate the potential that such generation may be temporarily unavailable in any given year in that timeframe. As such, EPA is not extending this revision to Florida’s ozone season NO X budget for 2014 and beyond.

Page 27 of 98 The state budgets in the August 8, 2011 final Transport Rule (76 FR 48290) accurately incorporated the emission reduction requirements of existing utility consent decrees. However, after the final rul e was published, EPA determined that provisions under certain existing utility consent decrees could restrict the use of Transport Rule allowances allocated to units subject to those consent decrees, such that a certain portion of those allocated allowance s could be rendered unavailable for compliance use by any source under the Transport Rule programs. EPA determined that the sum of the SO 2 and/or NO X allowances allocated to the units at certain facilities (or to the units included in certain systems) aff ected by these consent decrees exceeded the facility - wide (or system- wide) annual tonnage limit (ATL) specified in the applicable consent decree. The consent decrees for these facilities and systems include provisions that either require that allowances i n excess of those necessary for compliance with the consent decrees be surrendered or place restrictions on the trading of such allowances . Therefore, excess allowances at these facilities (or within these systems) cannot be used by any Transport Rule pro gram source(s) for compliance purposes. To address this issue, on October 14, 2011, EPA proposed to add a constraint on Transport Rule unit - level allowance allocations for the facilities and systems in question (76 FR 63860). T his action finalizes the proposed constraint, which affects a total of 82 units in six states: Alabama, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Ohio, and Tennessee. The constraint reduces the number of SO 2 and/or*** E.O. 12866 Review_ Revised Version_CSAPR Rule Revisions_RIN 2060

Page 28 of 98 NO X allowances allocated to each of the 82 affected units, in order to align th e facility - wide and system- wide allowance totals with the ATLs specified in the consent decrees. The unit - level allowance adjustments for each affected facility (or system) were made using the methodology described in the October 14, 2011 proposed rule. First, EPA calculated the ratio of the facility - wide (or systemwide) ATL to the total number of allowances allocated to the units at the facility (or in the system). Then, for each unit, an annual tonnage limit equivalent (“unit - level cap”) was determin ed by multiplying this ratio by the number of allowances originally allocated to the unit. As previously noted, EPA took the requirements of existing utility consent decrees into account when the state budgets were established. Therefore, thi s final act ion, as it regards the consent decrees, does not alter the budget of any of the six affected states. Further, this action with respect to the consent decrees has no impact on the existing unit - level allocations in states where there are no units covered b y consent decrees with ATLs. The excess allowances removed from the 82 affected units have been reallocated to other covered sources in each relevant state using the allowance allocation methodology described in the October 14, 2011 proposed rule. EPA rec eived several comments on the proposed constraint and the unit - level cap apportionment methodology. Some commenters supported the proposal.

Page 29 of 98 inappropriately using its rulemaking authority to modify, undo, or compromise provisions in the negotiated consent decree agreements. The Agency does not agree that the a llowance allocation revisions being finalized in this rule modify the terms of any consent decree. The unit - level allowance allocation caps applied in this rulemaking do not alter any obligation, timeline, or other requirement of the utility consent decrees. None of the restrictions in the utility consent decrees are premised on trading programs that employ any particular allocation methodology or dist ribution of unit - level allocations. Moreover, the utility consent decrees do not, and cannot, preclude any particular allocation methodology or distribution from being implemented in future trading programs. Finally, unit - level allowance allocations unde r existing trading programs, including the Transport Rule programs, do not establish unit - level emission constraints, because sources may obtain additional allowances from the marketplace to cover emissions that are above the unit - level allocations . Seve ral commenters asked EPA to either clarify the specific consent decrees or exempt Transport Rule allowances from those restrictions and requirements. However, legal interpretations of utility consent decree provisions are outside the scope of this rulemak ing. Moreover, it would be inappropriate for EPA to attempt to alter the terms of the consent decrees to exempt the Transport Rule allowances from the trading restrictions and allowance surrender provisions via a rulemaking.

Page 30 of 98 that a nuclear electric generating unit is shut down for more than 120 days during calendar years 2012, 2013, or 2014. Because EPA and TVA are unable to predict whether such an event will occur, EPA is adopting, for purposes of allowance allocations in this rulemaking, the higher ATL for the TVA system which is based on the occurrence of a nuclear unit shut down. This change only affects TVA unit level allocations in the year 2 013. EPA reviewed the other existing utility consent decrees and did not find similar provisions in those decrees that require such an adjustment. In the proposed revisions rule, EPA adjusted unit level allocations to units affected by the TVA consent dec ree in years for which the final Transport Rule’s allowance allocations to those units collectively exceeded that consent decree’s ATL that i s effective in that year. For the affected TVA units, the final Transport Rule’s allowance allocations exceeded the consent decree ATL in 2013, 2018, and thereafter. TVA submitted comments arguing that the effective ATL under that consent decree is subject to change based on the potential retirement of affected units, which would also reduce aggregate unit - level allowance allocations to TVA under the Transport Rule. TVA’s comments noted that the future balance of these two factors, which change over time, is uncertain. EPA recognizes that the relationship between unit level allowance allocations under the FIPs and the applicable ATL becomes relatively less certain when considered over longer time horizons. In order to reduce the potential impact utility consent decree ATLs may have*** E.O. 12866 Review_ Revised Version_CSAPR Rule Revisions_RIN 2060

Page 31 of 98 on the availability of Transport Rule allowances for compliance, EPA must account for t he variability in utility consent decree ATLs in future years. Where information was available, EPA included generating unit retirements in its analysis of utility consent decree ATLs (see “Assessment of Impact of Consent Decree Annual Tonnage Limits on T ransport Rule Allocations” in the Docket (EPA- HQ - OAR- 2009 - 0491) for the proposed revisions (76 FR 63860)). However, EPA agrees that the uncertainty becomes more pronounced in more distant years. Therefore, in this rulemaking EPA is not quantifying any additional adjustments to unit - level caps attributable to consent decree ATLs that become effective after 2017. In 2018 and thereafter, EPA will continue to apply the ATLs effective in 2017 for the purpose of unit level allocations. EPA notes that this timeline will provide states with ample opportunity, if they wish, to submit SIPs and establish alternate allocation methodologie s where updated information on consent decree requirements may affect Transport Rule allowance use.

Page 32 of 98 proposed approach were North Carolina and Maryland. EPA is adopting the proposed approach -- and rejecting North Carolina’s and Maryland’s comments in opposition -- for t he following reasons. EPA’s decision in this final revised rule to delay the effectiveness of the assurance provisions is based on new information, i.e., information that recently became available on states’ total EGU emissions in the last four quarters ( one in 2010 and three in 2011) and concerns raised recently by commenters about the immediate - term viability of Transport Rule allowance markets during the transition from CAIR . The most current available emissions data -- i.e., total emissions for the la st quarter of 2010 and the first three quarters of 2011 -- for EGUs in the states subject to the Transport Rule trading programs show that, in the vast majority of states, EGUs are already emitting at an annual level below the level of the applicable 2012 state assurance level. Specifically, in 16 out of the 23 states subject to the Transport Rule SO 2 program, 19 out of the 23 states subject to the Transport Rule NO X annual program, and 22 out of the 25 states subject to the Transport Rule NO X ozone season program, EGU emissions for the state for the last 12 months total less than the state assurance level (state budget plus variability limit), the level that reflects elimination of significant contribution and interference with maintenance. 7 48210). F or such states EPA maintains that, for 2012 - 2013 , the Transport Rule (as revised by this final rule) ensures the elimination of the quantified prohibited emissions. 7 http://camddataandmaps.epa.gov/gdm/index.cfm?fuseaction=iss.isshome*** E.O. 12866 Review_ Revised Version_CSAPR Rule Revisions_RIN 2060

Page 33 of 98 Moreover, in the remaining states, emission controls that EPA’s projections demonstrate will bring annual emissions down to the level of the applicable state assurance level are in the process of being installed and will be in operation in 2012 and 2013. In addition , EGU owners and operators will know in 2012 and 2013 that the assurance provisions will be taking effect in 2014 when many state budgets under the Transport Rule trading programs will be reduced. Owners and operators will therefore need to implement comp liance strategies to meet both the requirement to hold allowances covering emissions and to avoid assurance provision penalties in the context of, in many cases, reduced state budgets. Consequently, EGU emissions are likely to decline even further during 2012 - 2013 as owners and operators make immediate investments in further emission reductions to prepare for 2014 and beyond. As one commenter observed, “Moreover, the desire of electric generating units (EGUs) to avoid the increased penalties once they are implemented in 2014 should encourage compliance with the Transport Rule even prior to assurance penalties being imposed. It is likely not in a polluter’s interest to fail to implement emission reduction measures now, as it would be forced to decrease emi ssions with potentially unfeasible rapidity once the assurance penalty provisions are enacted, or else face extra exorbitant penalties” (Docket ID EPA- HQ - OAR2009 - 0491 - 4775). EPA also conducted additional modeling of projected EGU emissions in 2012 and 201 3 under the Transport Rule*** E.O. 12866 Review_ Revised Version_CSAPR Rule Revisions_RIN 2060

Page 34 of 98 without applying the assurance provisions to those years . 8 This modeling shows that the Transport Rule trading programs will still result in emission reductions that cause total emissions in each state to be below the level of t he applicable state assurance level , even when sources are not subject to the assurance provisions in those years . These very short - term projections are based on inputs that reflect validated, currently installed emission controls resulting in a high er de gree of certainty than longer - term emission projections . In particular, the locations are known of existing EGUs with existing emission controls or with ongoing emission control retrofits to be completed by 2012, and of new EGUs (with emission controls) t o be completed by 2012, and the emission reduction capabilities of all these controls also are known. Based on the current level of EGU emissions and EPA’s short - term modeling results, EPA maintains that EGU emissions in 2012 and 2013 in each of the st ates subject to the Transport Rule -- without the assurance provisions being applicable in those years -- have virtually no chance of exceeding the applicable state assurance level. Consequently, imposition of the assurance provisions during 2012 - 2013 is unnecessary and could actually be detrimental to smooth program implementation , as explained below .

8 IPM uses model run years to represent the full planning horizon. Mapping each year in the planning horizon into a representative model run year enables IPM to perform multiple year analyses while keeping the model size manageable. In this case, results for 2012 also apply to 2013 . Modeling results are available in the docket for this rulemaking, in IPM output files named after this modeling scenario entitled “Final Transport Rule with 2014 Assurance.”*** E.O. 12866 Review_ Revised Version_CSAPR Rule Revisions_RIN 2060

Page 35 of 98 EPA believes that a limited postponement of the effectiveness of the assurance provisions is justified in order to achieve a seamless transition from the existing CAIR programs to the new Transport Rule programs. Under both CAIR and the Transport Rule, individual units have the flexibility to supplement their own emission reduction efforts with acquisitions from the market of any additional allowances needed to cover emissions under the applicable programs. Active, transparent markets providing broad access to CAIR NO X annual, CAIR NO X ozone season, and Acid Rain SO 2 allowances have been in existence for many years. Sources covered by CAIR have relied on the availability of these robust markets when developing compliance plans. The Transport Rule (TR) creates new TR SO 2 Group 1, TR SO 2 Group 2, TR NO X annual, and TR NO X ozone season allowances. Markets for these allowances have started up and were developing before the Court issued a stay of the rule on December 30, 2011. Some EGU owners and operators, states, and other organizations have expressed concern about the future availability of Transport Rule allowances in the market. For example, EPA recei ved the following comment and several others like it: “The [Group] strongly supports EPA’s proposal to delay implementation of the assurance penalty provisions until January 1, 2014. The Group has significant concerns regarding the viability of the allowance markets anticipated by CSAPR. Delay of the assurance penalty provisions may increase the likelihood that allowance markets will develop in the first CSAPR compliance period.

Delaying implementation of the assurance penalty provisions until 2014 would reduce the risks associated with entering the market and encourage sources to engage in allowance trading” (Docket ID EPA- HQ - OAR- 2009 - 0491 - 4821). 9 Indeed, such concerns are to be expected as new markets start up and develop, with the result that prices tend to spike during market start - up and eventually settle to anticipated levels. After a period of time, the market matures and increasing number s of participants gain experience with, and confidence in, the market. Not only do the allowance markets under the Transport Rule involve the purchase and sale of new types of allowances for use in new trading programs, but also only the Transport Rule tra ding programs include assurance provisions, which were not included in any previous allowance trading programs. Many of the comments EPA received indicated that the introduction of this new and unfamiliar element in the Transport Rule trading programs has heightened concerns about the ability of owners and operators to use the new allowance markets to comply with the requirement to hold allowances covering emissions. Early trading activity is important for demonstrating market liquidity and assisting in p rice discovery to facilitate compliance planning by owners and operators of covered sources. If, out of immediate - term unfamiliarity with how the assurance provisions would be applied, owners and operators were to limit their own early trading

EPA is delay ing the effective date of the assurance provisions until 2014 in order to neutraliz e a key uncertainty facing successful and potentially rapid program implementation following the current stay, such that sources can rely on immediate activation of a Transport Rule allowance market that offers the cost - effective emission reduction flexibi lities on which the rule relies to eliminate significant contribution and interference with maintenance . In summary, EPA concludes that , not only are the assurance provisions not necessary in 2012 - 2013 to ensure elimination of significant contribution and interference with maintenance, but also that the imposition of the assurance provisions in 2012 - 2013 would risk inhibit ing the development and availability of the allowance market and thus raise the costs of compliance with Transport Rule emission reductio n requirements. Delaying imposition of the assurance provisions until 2014 will ease the transition for covered sources from compliance with CAIR requirements to compliance with Transport Rule requirements by addressing concerns about the readiness of new Transport Rule allowance markets, facilitating progress of these markets, and instilling confidence that owners and operators can comply through a variety of cost - effective strategies that are not limited by initial Transport Rule unit - level allowance al locations.

Page 38 of 98 effective emission reductions and total state emissions that are consistent with EPA’s quantification of each state’s obligation to eliminate significant contribution and interference with maintenance in downwind areas . EPA’s adoption, in the final revision rule, of a brief delay until 2014 in the imposition of the assurance provisions constitutes a change in the Agency’s approach from the approach adopted in the final Transport Rule. In the final Transport Rule, EPA decided to make the assurance provisions effective starting in 2012 “because this approach provides even further assurance, consistent with North Carolina , that each state’s prohibited emissions will be el iminated from the start of the Transport Rule trading programs” (76 FR at 48296). Although EPA took the conservative approach of providing more assurance by adopting 2012 as the start of the assurance provisions, EPA did not conclude, in the final Transpo rt Rule, that starting the assurance provisions in 2014 would be inconsistent with North Carolina or would result in states not eliminating their significant contribution or interference with maintenance. The trading programs created by the final Transpo rt Rule, as modified by the final revision rule, are distinguishable from the CAIR trading programs that the Court reversed in North Carolina and meet the requirements set forth in the Court’s decision. In the Transport Rule, EPA established state - specifi c budgets and state - specific variability limits, and, if each state’s total EGU emissions for a control period do not exceed the applicable state budget plus variability, then that state’s*** E.O. 12866 Review_ Revised Version_CSAPR Rule Revisions_RIN 2060

Page 39 of 98 significant contribution and interference with maintenance are eliminated for that control period. In contrast with the Transport Rule, in CAIR, EPA determined at a regional level the amount of required emission reductions. See North Carolina , 531 F.3d at 907. Thus, the requirement -- which was not met by CAIR -- to de termine the amount of each state’s significant contribution and interference with maintenance is met by the Transport Rule. Moreover, unlike the circumstances in CAIR, EPA determined in this rulemaking that information on the current level of EGU emissio ns and ongoing emission control installations, supported by the results of EPA’s short - term modeling, demonstrates that without the assurance provisions being applicable in 2012 - 2013, EGU emissions in 2012 and 2013 in each state will not exceed the applicable state assurance level. For 2014 and thereafter when controls and emissions are likely to be different from current controls and emissions and modeling projections are correspondingly less certain , the Transport Rule imposes assurance provision requirements that penalize sources whose emissions result in the state having total EGU emissions in excess of the state assurance level, and thereby ensures that sources operate in a manner that results in the elimination of each state ’s significant contribution and interference with maintenance. In contrast with the Transport Rule, state - level EGU emission s were not, when CAIR was issued, already at (or well on the way to meet ing) the required reduction level s . EPA did not impose penalties on sources whose emis sions resulted in a state ’s failing to eliminate its significant*** E.O. 12866 Review_ Revised Version_CSAPR Rule Revisions_RIN 2060

Page 40 of 98 contribution and interference with maintenance, and EPA relied entirely on its modeling , as opposed to data demonstrating states' emission reductions occurring in the period immediately prior to the relevant compliance years, to show that significant contribution and interference with maintenance would be eliminated. See North Carolina , 531 F.3d at 907 (stating that “CAIR only assures that the entire region’s significant contri bution will be eliminated. It is possible that CAIR would achieve [CAA] section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I)’s goals. EPA's modeling shows that sources contributing to North Carolina’s nonattainment areas will at least reduce their emissions even after opting into CAIR’s trading programs...But EPA is not exercising its section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) duty unless it is promulgating a rule that achieves something measurable toward the goal of prohibiting sources ‘within the State’ from contributing to nonattainment or interfering with mai ntenance ‘in any other State.’") In addition, in CAIR, the EPA modeling was for the intermediate term (i.e., projected in 2005 emissions for 2009 and 2010), not for the short term when critical elements (such as the locations of existing EGUs with existi ng emission controls or with control retrofits to be completed by 2012 and of soon - to - be - completed, new EGUs with controls and the reduction capabilities of all these controls) are known. Thus, the Transport Rule accomplishes on a state - by - state basis wha t CAIR accomplished on a regional basis, i.e., assurance that significant contribution and interference with maintenance will be eliminated, and the requirement -- which was not met by*** E.O. 12866 Review_ Revised Version_CSAPR Rule Revisions_RIN 2060

Page 41 of 98 CAIR -- that EPA provide such assurance is met by the Transport Rule. North Carolina ’s argument that EPA is somehow barred from delaying the effectiveness of the assurance provisions in the Transport Rule FIPs because this delay “will, at least in some locations, lead to” increased emissions in some nonattainment or mai ntenance areas is inconsistent with the facts regarding emission controls installed on EGUs over the near term . As discussed above, without the assurance provisions in 2012 - 2013, total EGU emissions in each state will still be below the sta te assurance level and therefore each state will meet the requirements of CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) by eliminating the significant contribution and interference with maintenance identified in the final Transport Rule. North Carolina failed to show ot herwise. On the contrary, North Carolina asserted that, during 2012 - 2013, the lack of assurance provisions will result in more emissions in “some locations” than if the assurance provisions were in effect and that these emissions will in crease ambient pollutant levels in areas with nonattainment or maintenance problems. However, North Carolina failed to identify any such “locations” and any such nonattainment/maintenance problem areas, or to provide any modeling or othe r evidence showing that these emission increases and ambient effects would occur. For the reasons explained above, EPA is revising the Transport Rule such that its assurance provisions are effective beginning in 2014.*** E.O. 12866 Review_ Revised Version_CSAPR Rule Revisions_RIN 2060

Page 42 of 98 D. Correct Typo graphical Errors EPA is finalizing as proposed to correct typographical errors in certain sections of rule text in parts 52 and 97 in the final Transport Rule. EPA received no comments on correcting typographical errors. V. Statutory and Executive Orde r Reviews A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this action is a "significant regulatory action.” Accordi ngly, EPA submitted this action to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review under Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011) and any changes made in response to OMB recommendations have been documented in the docket for thi s action. B. Paperwork Reduction Act This action does not impose any new information collection burden. This action makes relatively minor revisions to the emission budgets and allowance allocations or allowance allocations only in certain states in the final Transport Rule and corrects minor technical errors which are ministerial. However, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has previously approved the information collection requirements contained in the final Transport Rule under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. and has assigned OMB control number 2060 - 0667. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9.*** E.O. 12866 Review_ Revised Version_CSAPR Rule Revisions_RIN 2060

Page 43 of 98 C. Regulatory Flexibility Act The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) generally requires an agency to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act or any other statute unless the agency certifies that the rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Small entities include small businesses, small organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions. For purposes of assessing the impacts of t hi s rule on small entities, small entity is defined as: (1) a small business as defined by the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) regulations at 13 CFR 121.201; (2) a small governmental jurisdiction that is a government of a city, county, town, school district or special district with a popula tion of less than 50,000; and (3) a small organization that is any not - for - profit enterprise which is independently owned and operated and is not dominant in its field. After considering the economic impacts of t hi s action on small entities, I certify th at this action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The small entities directly regulated by this action are electric power generators whose ultimate parent entity has a total electric output of 4 million megawatt - hours (MWh) or less in the previous fiscal year. We have determined that the changes considered in this proposed rulemaking pose no additional burden for small entities.

Page 44 of 98 in Arkansas and Texas woul d yield an extremely small change in unit - level allowance allocations to existing units, including small entities, such that it would not affect the analysis conducted on small entity impacts under the finalized Transport Rule. In all other states, the revisions proposed in this rulemaking would yield additional allowance allocations to all units, including small entities, without increasing program stringency, such that it is not possible for the impact to small entities to be any larger than that already considered and reviewed in the finalized Transport Rule. D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act This rule does not contain a Federal mandate that may result in expenditures of $100 million or more for State, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or t he private sector in any one year. This action is increasing the budgets and increasing the total number of allowances or maintaining the same budget but revising unit - level allocations in several other states in the Transport Rule. Thus, this rule is not subject to the requirements of sections 202 or 205 of UMRA. In developing the final Transport Rule, EPA consulted with small governments pursuant to a plan established under section 203 of UMRA to address impacts of regulatory requirements in the rule that might significantly or uniquely affect small governments.

This action makes relatively minor revisions to the emissions budgets and allowance allocations or all owance allocations only in certain states in the final Transport Rule. Thus, Executive Order 13132 does not apply to this rule. EPA did provide information to state and local officials during development of both the proposed and final Transport Rule. F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments This action does not have tribal implications, as specified in Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This action makes relatively minor revisions to the emissions budgets and allowance allocations in several states in the final Transport Rule and helps ease the transition from CAIR. Indian country new unit set - asides will increase slightly or remain unchanged in the states affected by this action. Thus, E xecutive Order 13175 does not apply to this action. EPA consulted with tribal officials during the process of promulgating the final Transport Rule to permit them to have meaningful and timely input into its development. G. Executive Order 13045: Protec tion of Children from Environmental Health and Safety Risks This action is not subject to EO 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) because it is not economically significant as defined in EO 12866, and because the Agency does not believe the environmental he alth or safety risks addressed by this action present a disproportionate risk to children.*** E.O. 12866 Review_ Revised Version_CSAPR Rule Revisions_RIN 2060

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations that Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use This action is not a “significant energy action” as defined in Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355 (May 22, 2001)), because it is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy. EPA believes that there is no meaningful impact to the energy supply beyond that which is reported for the Transport Rule program in the final Transport Rule. I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (“NTTAA”), Public Law No. 104 - 113, 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note) directs EPA to use voluntary con sensus standards in its regulatory activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical standards (e.g., materials specifications, test methods, sampling procedures, and business practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies. NTTAA directs EPA to provide Congress, through OMB, explanations when the Agency decides not to use available and applicable voluntary consensus standards. As desc ribed in section XII.I of the preamble to the final Transport Rule, the Transport Rule program requires all sources to meet the applicable monitoring requirements*** E.O. 12866 Review_ Revised Version_CSAPR Rule Revisions_RIN 2060

Page 47 of 98 of 40 CFR part 75. Part 75 already incorporates a number of voluntary consensus standards. Th is action does not involve technical standards. Therefore, EPA did not consider the use of any voluntary consensus standards. J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low Income Populations E xecutive Order (EO) 12898 (59 FR 7629 (Feb. 16, 1994)) establishes federal executive policy on environmental justice. Its main provision directs federal agencies, to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law, to make environmental justice part of their mission by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects of their programs, policies, and activities on minority populations and low - income populations in the United States. In the Final Revisions Rule Significant Contribution Assessment Technical Support Document in the docket to this rulemaking, EPA assessed impacts of the emission changes in this rule on air quality throughout the Transport Rule region. For SO 2 , the estimated air quality impacts were minimal and no additional nonattainment or maintenance areas were identified. EPA also assessed the relationship between the NO X emission inventories in each affected state and the finalized revisions to annual and ozone - seas on NO X budgets and found the revisions represent small percentages*** E.O. 12866 Review_ Revised Version_CSAPR Rule Revisions_RIN 2060

Page 48 of 98 of each state’s total emissions in 2014. As a result, EPA does not believe these technical revisions would affect any of the conclusions supported by the air quality and environmental just ice analyses conducted for the final Transport Rule. Based on the significant contribution assessment in the technical support document for this action, EPA has determined that this action will not have disproportionately high and adverse human health or e nvironmental effects on minority or low - income populations because it does not affect the level of protection provided to human health or the environment. EPA believes that the vast majority of communities and individuals in areas covered by the Transport Rule program inclusive of this action, including numerous low - income, minority, and tribal individuals and communities in both rural areas and inner cities in the eastern and central U.S., will see significant improvements in air quality and resulting imp rovements in health. EPA’s assessment of the effects of the final Transport Rule program on these communities is available in section XII.J of the preamble to the final Transport Rule. K. Congressional Review Act The Congressional Review Act, 5 U .S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule, to each Hou se of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United*** E.O. 12866 Review_ Revised Version_CSAPR Rule Revisions_RIN 2060
