26806 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 93 /Thursday, May 14, 1998 / Notices

As mentioned above, certification of

the Engelhard ETXTM kit triggered the

0.10 g/bhp-hr standard for applicable

1979–1989 6V92TA MUI engines. That

kit provides three power ratings: 253,

277, and 294 horsepower. DDC will

offer the DDC kit in these three power

ratings as well: 253, 277, and 294hp.

Engines of urban buses certified to

meet California emissions standards are

not applicable to the DDC kit discussed

in today’s Federal Register notice.

Additionally, the 0.10 g/bhp-hr PM

standard is not triggered for engines

certified to meet California emission

standards. Operators of such urban

buses, who choose to comply with

program 1, are not required to use

equipment certified to the 0.10 g/bhp-hr

PM standard until the standard has been

triggered for such engines. Operators of

urban buses having engines certified to

meet California emission standards, and

who choose to comply with program 2,

may not use the DDC kit described in

today’s notice to meet program

requirements.

As stated in the program regulations

(40 CFR 85.1401 through 85.1415),

operators must, beginning January 1,

1995, maintain records for each engine

in their fleet to demonstrate that they

are in compliance with the requirements

of the Urban Bus Retrofit/Rebuild

Program. These records include

purchase records, receipts, and part

numbers for the parts and components

used in the rebuilding or urban bus

engines.

Acid Rain Provisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: EPA today announces the

allocation of allowances to small diesel

refineries for desulfurization of fuel

during 1997. The eligibility for and

calculation of allowances to small diesel

refineries is in accordance with Section

410(h) of the Clean Air Act,

implemented at 40 CFR part 73, subpart

G.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Kathy Barylski, EPA Acid Rain Division

(6204J), 401 M St., SW, Washington DC;

telephone (202) 564–9074; or the Acid

Rain Hotline at (202) 564–9620.

Electronic copies of this rulemaking and

technical support documents can be

accessed through the Acid Rain Division

website at www.epa.gov/acidrain.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA’s

Acid Rain Program was established by

Title IV of the Clean Air Act

Amendments of 1990 (CAAA) to reduce

acid rain in the continental United

States. The Acid Rain Program will

achieve a 50 percent reduction in sulfur

dioxide (SO2) emissions from utility

units. The SO2 reduction program is a

flexible market-based approach to

environmental management. As part of

this approach, EPA allocates

‘‘allowances’’ to affected utility units.

Each allowance is a limited

authorization to emit up to one ton of

SO2. At the end of each calendar year,

each unit must hold allowances in an

amount equal to or greater than its SO2

emissions for the year. Allowances may

be bought, sold, or transferred between

utilities and other interested parties.

Those utility units whose annual

emissions are likely to exceed their

allocations may install control

technologies or switch to cleaner fuels

to reduce SO2 emissions or buy

additional allowances.

Section 410(h) of the Clean Air Act

provides allowances for small diesel

refineries that desulfurize diesel fuel

from October 1, 1993 through December

31, 1999. Small refineries are not

otherwise affected by the Acid Rain

Program and do not need the allowances

to comply with any provision of the

Clean Air Act. Thus, the allowances

serve as a financial benefit to small

diesel refineries desulfurizing diesel

fuel.

The following table lists allowances to

be allocated to eligible refineries for

desulfurization of diesel fuel during

calendar year 1997.

A total of 27,656 allowances are

allocated to 17 refiners, which produced

55,111 thousand barrels of desulfurized diesel fuel. These allowances have a

compliance year of 1998.
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 93 /Thursday, May 14, 1998 / Notices 26807

Requests for allowances for

desulfurization during 1998 are due no

later than April 1, 1999. Allowances

allocated in 1999 will have a

compliance year of 1999.
