Of the 98 affected government-owned entities in the Transport Rule region, 26may incur costs of greater than 1% of their revenues. These governmentowned entities should be able to pass along these costs to rate-payers, however, so the impact of this rule to these entities should not be significant. For more information, please refer to the RIA for this final rule.

EPA has certified that this rule will have no SISNOSE (significant economic impacts on a substantial number of small entities). Of the 24 small entities (out of 108 affected) projected to have costs greater than 1 percent of revenues, around 70 percent of them operate in cost of service regions and would generally be able to pass any increased costs along to rate-payers. Furthermore, of the approximately 660 units identified by EPA as being potentially owned by small entities, approximately two-thirds of the units that have higher costs are not expected to make operational changes as a result of this rule (e.g. install control equipment or switch fuels). Their increased costs are largely due to increased cost of the fuel they would be expected to use whether or not they had to comply with the proposed rule. Further, increased fuel costs are often passed through to rate-payers as common practice in many areas of the U.S. due to fuel adder arrangements instituted by state public utility commissions. Finally, EPA’s decision to exclude units smaller than 25 MWe has already significantly reduced the burden on small entities. No estimates available regarding changes in wages. Wedo not have any estimates provided regarding changes in economic growth associated with implementation of this final rule. This benefits range reflects two primary estimates (Pope et al. for the lower, and Laden et al. for the higher). Includes the value of visibility and CO2-related benefits. Analysis year is 2014. Results and methodology are provided in the RIA.

Costs reflect continued operation of existing controls on EGUs and new controls on EGUs installed by 2014 in the Transport Rule region. Results and methodology are provided in the RIA.
