§97.342 CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowance allocations.
(a)(1) The baseline heat input (in mmBtu) used with respect to CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowance allocations under paragraph (b) of this section for each CAIR NOX Ozone Season unit will be:
(2)(i) A unit's control period heat input, and a unit's status as coal-fired or oil-fired, for a calendar year under paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this section, and a unit's total tons of NOX emissions during a control period in a calendar year under paragraph (c)(3) of this section, will be determined in accordance with part 75 of this chapter, to the extent the unit was otherwise subject to the requirements of part 75 of this chapter for the year, or will be based on the best available data reported to the Administrator for the unit (in a format prescribed by the Administrator), to the extent the unit was not otherwise subject to the requirements of part 75 of this chapter for the year.
(b)(1) For each control period in 2009 and thereafter, the Administrator will allocate to all CAIR NOX Ozone Season units in a State that have a baseline heat input (as determined under paragraph (a) of this section) a total amount of CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances equal to 95 percent for a control period during 2009 through 2014, and 97 percent for a control period during 2015 and thereafter, of the tons of NOX emissions in the applicable State trading budget under §97.340 (except as provided in paragraphs (d) and (e) of this section).
(2) The Administrator will allocate CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances to each CAIR NOX Ozone Season unit under paragraph (b)(1) of this section in an amount determined by multiplying the total amount of CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances allocated under paragraph (b)(1) of this section by the ratio of the baseline heat input of such CAIR NOX Ozone Season unit to the total amount of baseline heat input of all such CAIR NOX Ozone Season units in the State and rounding to the nearest whole allowance as appropriate.
(c) For each control period in 2009 and thereafter, the Administrator will allocate CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances to CAIR NOX Ozone Season units in a State that are not allocated CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances under paragraph (b) of this section because the units do not yet have a baseline heat input under paragraph (a) of this section or because the units have a baseline heat input but all CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances available under paragraph (b) of this section for the control period are already allocated, in accordance with the following procedures:
(1) The Administrator will establish a separate new unit set-aside for each control period. Each new unit set-aside will be allocated CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances equal to 5 percent for a control period in 2009 through 2014, and 3 percent for a control period in 2015 and thereafter, of the amount of tons of NOX emissions in the applicable State trading budget under §97.340.
(2) The CAIR designated representative of such a CAIR NOX Ozone Season unit may submit to the Administrator a request, in a format specified by the Administrator, to be allocated CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances, starting with the later of the control period in 2009 or the first control period after the control period in which the CAIR NOX Ozone Season unit commences commercial operation and until the first control period for which the unit is allocated CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances under paragraph (b) of this section. A separate CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowance allocation request for each control period for which CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances are sought must be submitted on or before February 1 before such control period and after the date on which the CAIR NOX Ozone Season unit commences commercial operation.
(3) In a CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowance allocation request under paragraph (c)(2) of this section, the CAIR designated representative may request for a control period CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances in an amount not exceeding the CAIR NOX Ozone Season unit(s total tons of NOX emissions during the control period immediately before such control period.
(4) The Administrator will review each CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowance allocation request under paragraph (c)(2) of this section and will allocate CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances for each control period pursuant to such request as follows:
(ii) On or after February 1 before the control period, the Administrator will determine the sum of the CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances requested (as adjusted under paragraph (c)(4)(i) of this section) in all allowance allocation requests accepted under paragraph (c)(4)(i) of this section for the control period.
(iii) If the amount of CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances in the new unit set-aside for the control period is greater than or equal to the sum under paragraph (c)(4)(ii) of this section, then the Administrator will allocate the amount of CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances requested (as adjusted under paragraph (c)(4)(i) of this section) to each CAIR NOX Ozone Season unit covered by an allowance allocation request accepted under paragraph (c)(4)(i) of this section.
(iv) If the amount of CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances in the new unit set-aside for the control period is less than the sum under paragraph (c)(4)(ii) of this section, then the Administrator will allocate to each CAIR NOX Ozone Season unit covered by an allowance allocation request accepted under paragraph (c)(4)(i) of this section the amount of the CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances requested (as adjusted under paragraph (c)(4)(i) of this section), multiplied by the amount of CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances in the new unit set-aside for the control period, divided by the sum determined under paragraph (c)(4)(ii) of this section, and rounded to the nearest whole allowance as appropriate.
(v) The Administrator will notify each CAIR designated representative that submitted an allowance allocation request of the amount of CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances (if any) allocated for the control period to the CAIR NOX Ozone Season unit covered by the request.
(d) If, after completion of the procedures under paragraph (c)(4) of this section for a control period, any unallocated CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances remain in the new unit set-aside under paragraph (c) of this section for a State for the control period, the Administrator will allocate to each CAIR NOX Ozone Season unit that was allocated CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances under paragraph (b) of this section in the State an amount of CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances equal to the total amount of such remaining unallocated CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances, multiplied by the unit's allocation under paragraph (b) of this section, divided by 95 percent for a control period during 2009 through 2014, and 97 percent for a control period during 2015 and thereafter, of the amount of tons of NOX emissions in the applicable State trading budget under §97.340, and rounded to the nearest whole allowance as appropriate.
(e) If the Administrator determines that CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances were allocated under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section, paragraphs (a) and (c) of this section, or paragraph (d) of this section for a control period and that the recipient of the allocation is not actually a CAIR NOX Ozone Season unit under §97.304 in such control period, then the Administrator will notify the CAIR designated representative and will act in accordance with the following procedures:
(1) Except as provided in paragraph (e)(2) or (3) of this section, the Administrator will not record such CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances under §97.353.
(2) If the Administrator already recorded such CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances under §97.353 and if the Administrator makes such determinations before making deductions for the source that includes such recipient under §97.354(b) for the control period, then the Administrator will deduct from the account in which such CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances were recorded under §97.353 an amount of CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances allocated for the same or a prior control period equal to the amount of such already recorded CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances. The CAIR designated representative shall ensure that there are sufficient CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances in such account for completion of the deduction.
(3) If the Administrator already recorded such CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances under §97.353 and if the Administrator makes such determinations after making deductions for the source that includes such recipient under §97.354(b) for the control period, then the Administrator will apply paragraph (e)(1) or (2) of this section, as appropriate, to any subsequent control period for which CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances were allocated to such recipient.
(4) The Administrator will transfer the CAIR NOX Ozone Season allowances that are not recorded, or that are deducted, in accordance with paragraphs (e)(1), (2), and (3) of this section to a new unit set-aside for the State in which such recipient is located.
