NJ
No, output, includes rewards for lower emitting units
CT
No, output,  weighted 120% to pre-1990 units in 2009-2011
PA
No, output, with extra for ARP-exempt units (waste coal)
MO
No, table in rule, no formula
NC
No, table in rule, no formula

The model rule methodology included fuel adjustment factors for determining allocations (1.0 for coal, 0.60 for oil, and 0.40 for gas or other fuels).  This methodology was also used for allocating under CAIR FIPs.
Seventeen states adjusted allocations based on fuel type (13 of those were either FIP allocations or SIP-based allocations that used the model allocation methodology or a close variation).
Eleven states based allocations on other factors and did not adjust for fuel-type.
