Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) For each control period, the department
				  will determine distributions of CSAPR SO2 Group 1
				  allowances to any CSAPR SO2 Group 1 unit in New York
				  State that did not receive an allocation for the control period pursuant to
				  section
				  245.3(b)(2) 
				  of this part (including an allocation of zero allowances), in accordance with
				  the following procedures:
(1) The department
				  will establish a CSAPR SO2 Group 1 new unit set-aside
				  allocation for each control period not to exceed five percent of the CSAPR
				  SO2 Group 1 Budget set forth in section
				  245.3 
				  of this part
(2) Only CSAPR
				  SO2 Group 1 units may receive CSAPR
				  SO2 Group 1 allowances from the CSAPR
				  SO2 Group 1 new unit set-aside allocations established
				  in paragraph (1) of this subdivision.
(3) CSAPR SO2 Group 1
				  new unit set-aside allowances may be transferred to CSAPR
				  SO2 Group 1 units for no more than eight consecutive
				  control periods, starting with the latter of the 2017 control period or the
				  control period during which the CSAPR SO2 Group 1 unit
				  commenced, or is projected to commence, operation and ending with the control
				  period preceding the first control period for which the CSAPR
				  SO2 Group 1 unit will receive an allocation pursuant to
				  paragraph 245.3(b)(2) of this part.
(4) The designated representative of a CSAPR
				  SO2 Group 1 unit must submit a written request to the
				  department to reserve for the CSAPR SO2 Group 1 unit a
				  number of CSAPR SO2 Group 1 allowances in the relevant
				  CSAPR SO2 Group 1 new unit set-aside account in an
				  amount no greater than the number representing the unit's potential to emit.
				  The reservation request must be submitted prior to January 1st of the control
				  period to which the reservation request pertains. The department will not
				  consider any request for the reservation of CSAPR SO2
				  Group 1 new unit set-aside allowances submitted prior to the issuance of all
				  permits and authorizations by the department that are necessary for operation
				  of the CSAPR SO2 Group 1 unit. The reservation request
				  must include information detailing the potential to emit of the CSAPR
				  SO2 Group 1 unit.
(5) Subject to the number of CSAPR
				  SO2 Group 1 allowances allocated to each new unit
				  set-aside account, following department approval of the request for reservation
				  of CSAPR SO2 Group 1 allowances, the department will
				  reserve CSAPR SO2 Group 1 allowances in the CSAPR
				  SO2 Group 1 new unit set-aside account before the start
				  of the control period for which the CSAPR SO2 Group 1
				  unit will receive an allocation pursuant to subdivision (a) of this section in
				  an amount no greater than the CSAPR SO2 Group 1 unit's
				  potential to emit.
(6) If more than
				  one CSAPR SO2 Group 1 unit requests the reservation of
				  CSAPR SO2 Group 1 allowances and the number of requested
				  allowances exceeds the allocation to the relevant CSAPR
				  SO2 Group 1 new unit set-aside account, the department
				  will reserve CSAPR SO2 Group 1 allowances from the
				  account for the units in the order in which the CSAPR
				  SO2 Group 1 units submitted approvable reservation
				  requests. For the purposes of this paragraph, requests will be considered
				  simultaneous if they are made in the same calendar quarter. Should approvable
				  reservation requests in excess of the allocation to the relevant CSAPR
				  SO2 Group 1 new unit set-aside account be submitted in
				  the same calendar quarter by different CSAPR SO2 Group 1
				  units, the department will reserve CSAPR SO2 Group 1
				  allowances for those units on a basis proportional to the number of CSAPR
				  SO2 Group 1 allowances requested by each CSAPR
				  SO2 Group 1 unit.
(7) By July 1st of each year, the department
				  will submit a request to the Administrator, in a format prescribed by the
				  Administrator, to transfer reserved CSAPR SO2 Group 1
				  allowances to the compliance account of the CSAPR SO2
				  Group 1 source that includes the relevant CSAPR SO2
				  Group 1 unit in an amount no greater than the number representing the unit's
				  potential to emit.
(8) After the
				  Administrator makes the deductions for compliance under
				  40 CFR
				  97.624 (see Table 1, section
				  200.9 of this
				  title) for a control period, the department will determine whether any CSAPR
				  SO2 Group 1 allowances remain in the CSAPR
				  SO2 Group 1 new unit set-aside account for the control
				  period. By the July 1st following the control period, the department will
				  transfer any remaining CSAPR SO2 Group 1 allowances from
				  the CSAPR SO2 Group 1 new unit set-aside account to the
				  EERET account. Allowances transferred to the EERET account will be available
				  for sale or other disposition in accordance with section
				  245.6 
				  of this part.
