§ 74.1 Purpose and scope.
(a) The election of a combustion or process source that emits sulfur dioxide to become an affected unit under the Acid Rain Program, pursuant to section 410 of title IV of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401, et seq., as amended by Public Law 101–549 (November 15, 1990); and
§ 74.2 Applicability.
§ 74.3 Relationship to the Acid Rain program requirements.
§ 74.4 Designated representative.
Link to an amendment published at 70 FR 25336, May 12, 2005.
(c)(1) Notwithstanding paragraph (b) of this section, a certifying official of a combustion or process source that is located at the same source as one or more affected utility units and that, on the date on which an initial opt-in permit application is submitted for such combustion or process source and thereafter, does not serve a generator that produces electricity for sale may elect to designate, for such combustion or process source, a different designated representative than the designated representative for the affected utility units.
(2) In order to make such an election, the certifying official shall submit to the Administrator, in a format prescribed by the Administrator: a certification that the combustion or process source for which the election is made meets each of the requirements for election in paragraph (c)(1) of this section; and a certificate of representation for the designated representative of the combustion or process source in accordance with §72.24 of this chapter. The Administrator will rely on such certificate of representation in accordance with §72.25 of this chapter, unless the Administrator determines that the requirements for election in paragraph (c)(1) of this section are not met. If, after the election is made, the requirements for election in paragraph (c)(1) of this section are no longer met, the election shall automatically terminate on the first date on which the requirements are no longer met and, within 30 days of that date, a certificate of representation for the designated representative of the combustion or process source shall be submitted consistent with paragraph (b) of this section.
§ 74.10 Roles—EPA and permitting authority.
§ 74.12 Opt-in permit contents.
§ 74.14 Opt-in permit process.
§ 74.16 Application requirements for combustion sources.
§ 74.17 Application requirements for process sources. [Reserved]
§ 74.18 Withdrawal.
(d) Administrator's action on withdrawal. After the opt-in source meets the requirements for withdrawal under paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section, the Administrator will deduct allowances required to be deducted under §73.35 of this chapter and part 77 of this chapter and allowances equal in number to and with the same or earlier compliance use date as those allocated under §74.40 for the first year for which the withdrawal is to be effective and all subsequent years. The Administrator will close the opt-in source's unit account and transfer any remaining allowances to a new general account as specified under §74.46(b)(2).

§ 74.40 Establishment of opt-in source allowance accounts.
(a) Establishing accounts. Not earlier than the date on which a combustion or process source becomes an affected unit under this part and upon receipt of a request for an opt-in account under paragraph (b) of this section, the Administrator will establish an account and allocate allowances in accordance with subpart C of this part for combustion sources or subpart D of this part for process sources. A separate unit account will be established for each opt-in source.
(b) Request for opt-in account. The designated representative of the opt-in source shall, on or after the effective date of the opt-in permit as specified in §74.14(d), submit a letter requesting the opening of an allowance account in the Allowance Tracking System to the Administrator.

Link to an amendment published at 70 FR 25337, May 12, 2005.
(a) Applicability and deadline. For each calendar year in which an opt-in source is subject to the Acid Rain emissions limitations, the designated representative of the opt-in source shall submit to the Administrator, no later than 60 days after the end of the calendar year, an annual compliance certification report for the opt-in source in lieu of any annual compliance certification report required under subpart I of part 72 of this chapter.
(7) At the designated representative's option, for opt-in sources that share a common stack and whose emissions of sulfur dioxide are not monitored separately or apportioned in accordance with part 75 of this chapter, the percentage of the total number of allowances under paragraph (b)(6) of this section for all such affected units that is to be deducted from each affected unit's compliance subaccount; and
(8) The compliance certification under paragraph (c) of this section.
§ 74.44 Reduced utilization for combustion sources.
(C) “Reduction from demand side measures that improve the efficiency of electricity consumption” shall be a good faith estimate of the expected kilowatt hour savings during the calendar year for such measures and the corresponding reduction in heat input (in mmBtu) resulting from those measures. The demand side measures shall be implemented at the opt-in source, in the residence or facility to which the opt-in source delivers electricity for consumption or in the residence or facility of a customer to whom the opt-in source's utility system sells electricity. The verified amount of such reduction shall be submitted in accordance with paragraph (c)(2) of this section. (continued)
