The
term
"
ratio"
indicates
the
extent
to
which
a
State's
allowance
budget
under
a
specified
methodology
covers
the
SO2
emissions
projected
for
that
State
under
the
CAIR
program
(
e.
g.,
State's
allowance
budget
divided
by
its
projected
CAIR
emissions).
A
ratio
of
one
(
1)
indicates
that
the
State's
allowance
budget
is
equal
to
its
projected
CAIR
emissions.

The
term
"
disparity"
provides
a
quantification
of
how
much
a
State's
allowance
budget
under
a
specified
methodology
is
above
or
below
its
projected
CAIR
emissions.
A
value
of
zero
(
0)
indicates
that
the
State's
allowance
budget
is
equal
to
its
projected
CAIR
emissions.
