Preliminary Allocations of Cross-State 

Air Pollution Rule Allowances From 

New Unit Set-Asides for 2021 Control 

Periods 

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 

CSAPR new unit set-asides (NUSAs) for 

the 2021 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. 

DATES: Objections to the information 

referenced in this notice must be 

received on or before March 28, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your objections via 

email to CSAPR_NUSA@epa.gov. 

Include ‘‘2021 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. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Questions concerning this action should 

be addressed to Jason Kuhns at (202) 

564–3236 or kuhns.jason@epa.gov or 

Andrew Reighart at (202) 564–0418 or 

reighart.andrew@epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 

each CSAPR trading program where 

EPA is responsible for determining 

emission allowance allocations, a 

portion of each state’s emissions budget 

for the program for each control period 

is reserved in a NUSA (and 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 97.1011(b) 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 2021 control periods. 

Generally, the allocation procedures call 

for each eligible ‘‘new’’ unit to receive 

a 2021 NUSA allocation equal to its 

2021 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 

occuring 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).

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 38 / Friday, February 25, 2022 / Notices 10787 

The detailed unit-by-unit data and 

preliminary allowance allocation 

calculations for ‘‘new’’ units are set 

forth in Excel spreadsheets titled 

‘‘CSAPR_NUSA_2021_NOX_Annual_

Prelim_Data_New_Units’’, ‘‘CSAPR_

NUSA_2021_NOX_OS_Prelim_Data_

New_Units’’, and ‘‘CSAPR_NUSA_

2021_SO2_Prelim_Data_New_Units’’, 

available on EPA’s website at https://

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 2021 control period (annual or 

ozone season as applicable), (2) the 

maximum 2021 NUSA allowance 

allocation for which the unit is eligible 

(typically the unit’s emissions in the 

2021 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 2021 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 2021 NUSA, (2) 

the sum of the 2021 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 2021 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_2021_NOX_Annual_

Prelim_Data_Existing_Units’’, ‘‘CSAPR_

NUSA_2021_NOX_OS_Prelim_Data_

Existing_Units’’, and ‘‘CSAPR_NUSA_

2021_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 does not constitute a determination 

that CSAPR 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), and 97.1011(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. 

(Authority: 40 CFR 97.411(b), 97.511(b), 

97.611(b), 97.711(b), 97.811(b), and 

97.1011(b).)

describes and proposes restoration 

project alternatives considered by the 

Texas TIG to restore natural resources 

and ecological services injured or lost as 

a result of the Deepwater Horizon oil 

spill. The Texas TIG evaluated these 

alternatives under criteria set forth in 

the OPA natural resource damage 

assessment (NRDA) regulations and 

evaluated the environmental 

consequences of the restoration 

alternatives in accordance with the 

NEPA. The proposed projects are 

consistent with the restoration 

alternatives selected in the Deepwater 

Horizon Oil Spill: Final Programmatic 

Damage Assessment and Restoration 

Plan and Final Programmatic 

Environmental Impact Statement 

(PDARP/PEIS). This notice informs the 

public of the availability of the Draft RP/ 

EA #2 and provides an opportunity for 

the public to submit comments on the 

document. 

DATES: The Texas TIG will consider 

public comments received on or before

2022, at 6 p.m. Central Standard Time 

to facilitate public review and comment 

on the Draft RP/EA #2. The public 

webinar will include a presentation on 

the Draft RP/EA #2. Public comments
