126 Petitions for Purposes of Reducing Interstate Ozone Transport

[[Continued from page 2603]]

can be found in the Panel report and the Regulatory Flexibility
Analysis prepared for the May 25 NFR. The Panel recommended that EPA
solicit comment on whether to allow EGUs to obtain a federally-
enforceable NO_X emission tonnage limit (e.g., 25 tons during
the ozone season) and thereby obtain an exemption. Based on comments
received, this option is now incorporated in the final 126 regulations.
See section III.B.1.c for further discussion. Other recommendations
made by the panel were also incorporated into the May 25 NFR (e.g., 25
MWe and 250 mmBtu/hr cut-offs).

C. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Public
Law 104-4, establishes requirements for Federal agencies to assess the
effects of their regulatory actions on State, local, and tribal
governments and the private sector. Under section 202 of the UMRA, 2
U.S.C. 1532, EPA generally must prepare a written statement, including
a cost-benefit analysis, for any proposed or final rules with ``Federal
mandates'' that may result in the expenditure by State, local, and
tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100
million or more in any one year. A ``Federal mandate'' is defined to
include a ``Federal intergovernmental mandate'' and a ``Federal private
sector mandate'' (2 U.S.C. 658(6)). A ``Federal intergovernmental
mandate,'' in turn, is defined to include a regulation that ``would
impose an enforceable duty upon State, local, or tribal governments,''
(2 U.S.C. 658(5)(A)(i)), except for, among other things, a duty that is
``a condition of Federal assistance (2 U.S.C. 658(5)(A)(I)). A
``Federal private sector mandate'' includes a regulation that would
impose an enforceable duty upon the private sector,'' with certain
exceptions (2 U.S.C. 658 (7)(A)).
The EPA has determined that this action does not include a Federal
mandate that may result in estimated costs of $100 million or more for
either State, local, or tribal governments in the aggregate, or for the
private sector. This Federal action does not create any new
requirements that would impose costs beyond those that would otherwise
be imposed under the May 25 NFR, as discussed above in section IV.A.
Accordingly, no additional costs to State, local or tribal governments,
or to the private sector, would result from this action.
In the May 25 NFR, EPA relied upon an Unfunded Mandates Analysis
prepared for the proposed section 126 rule. The EPA has updated this
analysis to account for the now narrower scope of the effective section
126 requirements in 40 CFR 52.34. This ``Government Entity Analysis For
the Final Section 126 Petitions Under the Clean Air Act Amendments
Title I,'' is contained in the docket for this action and is summarized
below.
This analysis examines the impacts of the section 126 requirements
in 40 CFR 52.34 (excluding the stayed affirmative technical
determinations based on the 8-hour ozone NAAQS) on both EGUs and non-
EGUs that are owned by State, local, and tribal governments, as well as
sources owned by private entities. These requirements affect 16
entities that own EGUs, and these EGUs are owned by 1 State and 15
municipalities. These requirements also affect 7 entities that own non-
EGUs, and these non-EGUs are owned by 1 State and 5 municipalities. The
overall costs are dominated by the 16 affected EGUs and are about $15
million per year. The EPA has not identified any units on Tribal lands
that would be subject to the requirements. The cost impacts are only
slightly higher than their production share, in comparison to all units
in the region.
The EPA has determined that today's action contains no regulatory
requirements that might significantly or uniquely affect small
governments because today's action imposes no new additional
requirements as discussed above. Moreover, the final section 126
requirements contained in 40 CFR 52.34 (the requirements of the May 25
NFR as modified by today's action) also do not significantly or
uniquely affect small governments. The regulatory requirements do not
distinguish between EGUs based on ownership. Consequently, the final
section 126 rule contained in 40 CFR 52.34 has no requirements that
uniquely affect small governments that own or operate EGUs within the
affected region.

D. Paperwork Reduction Act

In the May 25 NFR, EPA relied upon an Information Collection
Request (ICR) prepared for the proposed section 126 rule. For today's
rule, EPA has updated the estimates contained in the ICR to account for
the now narrower scope of the effective section 126 requirements in 40
CFR 52.34. These estimates of administrative burden costs are contained
in the docket for this action and are summarized below.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Large fossil fuel boilers, turbines
and combined cycle units that are subject to the current scope of
section 126 requirements of 40 CFR 52.34.
Number of Respondents: 1459.
Frequency of Response:

--Emissions reports quarterly for some units, twice during ozone season
for others
--Test notifications and allowance transfers on an infrequent basis
--Compliance certifications on an annual basis

Estimated Annual Hour Burden per Respondent: 67.
Estimated Annual Cost per Respondent: $7,073.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 97,500.
Estimated Total Annualized Cost: $10,320,000.
Note that these are average estimates for the first 3 years of the
program. The EPA estimates lower costs in the first 2 years of the
program because fewer units will be participating at that time. The
units that will be participating at that time are units that are
applying for early reduction credits. The EPA also estimates that the
highest compliance costs will occur in 2002, when the majority of the
units that have to install and certify new monitors to comply with the
program will do so. The EPA believes that the year 2003 will be more
representative of the actual ongoing costs of the program. At that
time, EPA estimates a burden of 120 hours per source and a cost of
$15,785 per source.
Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources
expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and
verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and
disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to
comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements;
train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information;
search data sources; complete and review the collection of information;
and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.

E. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks

Executive Order 13045 applies to any rule that (1) is determined to
be ``economically significant'' as defined

[[Page 2724]]

under Executive Order 12866, and (2) concerns an environmental health
or safety risk that EPA has reason to believe may have a
disproportionate effect on children. If the regulatory action meets
both criteria, the Agency must evaluate the environmental health or
safety effects of the rule on children, and explain why the regulation
is preferable to other potentially effective and reasonably feasible
alternatives considered by the Agency.
This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13045, because this
rule is not ``economically significant'' as defined under Executive
Order 12866 and the Agency does not have reason to believe the
environmental health risks or safety risks addressed by this action
present a disproportionate risk to children.
Nonetheless, we have evaluated the environmental health or safety
effects of the affected pollutants on children, and found that there
are no effects from changes in ozone and PM levels resulting from
applying these regulatory requirements that are particular to children
that are not found in other age groups. In conjunction with the final
NO_X SIP call rulemaking, the Agency has conducted a general
analysis of the potential changes in ozone and PM levels experienced by
children as a result of the NO_X SIP call; these findings are
presented in the RIA for the Final NO_X SIP call. The
findings include population-weighted exposure characterizations for
projected 2007 ozone and PM concentrations. The population data
includes a census-derived subdivision for the under 18 group. Although
the final section 126 rule is narrower in scope than the NO_X
SIP call, the NO_X SIP call analysis indicates the potential
types of effects that children could experience as a result of this
rule.

F. Executive Order 12898: Environmental Justice

Executive Order 12898 requires that each Federal agency make
achieving environmental justice part of its mission by identifying and
addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high and adverse human
health or environmental effects of its programs, policies, and
activities on minorities and low-income populations. In conjunction
with the final NO_X SIP call rulemaking, the Agency has
conducted a general analysis of the potential changes in ozone and PM
levels that may be experienced by minority and low-income populations
as a result of the NO_X SIP call; these findings are
presented in the RIA for the Final NO_X SIP call. The
findings include population-weighted exposure characterizations for
projected ozone concentrations and PM concentrations. The population
data includes census-derived subdivisions for whites and non-whites,
and for low-income groups. Although the final section 126 rule is
narrower in scope than the NO_X SIP call, the NO_X
SIP call analysis indicates the potential types of effects that
minority and low-income populations could experience as a result of
this rule.

G. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

Executive Order 13132, entitled Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999), requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure
meaningful and timely input by State and local officials in the
development of regulatory policies that have federalism implications.
``Policies that have federalism implications'' is defined in the
Executive Order to include regulations that have ``substantial direct
effects on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.'' Under
Executive Order 13132, EPA may not issue a regulation that has
federalism implications, that imposes substantial direct compliance
costs, and that is not required by statute, unless the Federal
government provides the funds necessary to pay the direct compliance
costs incurred by State and local governments, or EPA consults with
State and local officials early in the process of developing the
proposed regulation. The EPA also may not issue a regulation that has
federalism implications and that preempts State law unless the Agency
consults with State and local officials early in the process of
developing the proposed regulation.
If EPA complies by consulting, Executive Order 13132 requires EPA
to provide to OMB, in a separately identified section of the preamble
to the rule, a federalism summary impact statement (FSIS). The FSIS
must include a description of the extent of EPA's prior consultation
with State and local officials, a summary of the nature of their
concerns and the agency's position supporting the need to issue the
regulation, and a statement of the extent to which the concerns of
State and local officials have been met. Also, when EPA transmits a
draft final rule with federalism implications to OMB for review
pursuant to Executive Order 12866, EPA must include a certification
from the agency's Federalism Official stating that EPA has met the
requirements of Executive Order 13132 in a meaningful and timely
manner.
This final rule will not have substantial direct effects on the
States, on the relationship between the national government and the
States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government, as specified in Executive Order 13132. As
discussed above, today's rule imposes no new requirements that impose
compliance burdens beyond those that would already apply under the May
25 NFR. Thus, the requirements of section 6 of the Executive Order do
not apply to this rule. Nevertheless, EPA did consult with State and
local officials throughout the section 126 rulemaking. (See 64 FR
28253-28254; 63 FR 57362-57363). Most fundamentally, the section 126
rulemaking is EPA's response to State petitions for EPA action. In
addition, States were extensively involved in the Ozone Transport
Assessment Group (OTAG), which was established to undertake an
assessment of the regional transport problem in the eastern half of the
United States and to develop solutions. The OTAG process included
representatives of both upwind and downwind States. In the section 126
rulemaking, EPA has acted on section 126 petitions submitted by States
that were involved in the OTAG process. All eight submitted petitions
rely, in part, on the OTAG analyses for technical justification.

H. Executive Order 13084: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments

Under Executive Order 13084, EPA may not issue a regulation that is
not required by statute, that significantly or uniquely affects the
communities of Indian tribal governments, and that imposes substantial
direct compliance costs on those communities, unless the Federal
government provides the funds necessary to pay the direct compliance
costs incurred by the tribal governments, or EPA consults with those
governments. If EPA complies by consulting, Executive Order 13084
requires EPA to provide to OMB, in a separately identified section of
the preamble to the rule, a description of the extent of EPA's prior
consultation with representatives of affected tribal governments, a
summary of the nature of their concerns, and a statement supporting the
need to issue the regulation. In addition, Executive Order 13084
requires EPA to develop an effective process permitting elected and
other representatives of Indian tribal governments ``to provide
meaningful and timely input in the development of regulatory policies
on matters that

[[Page 2725]]

significantly or uniquely affect their communities.''
Today's rule does not significantly or uniquely affect the
communities of Indian tribal governments. As discussed above, today's
action imposes no new requirements that would impose compliance burdens
beyond those that would already apply under the May 25 NFR. Moreover,
the final section 126 rule as modified by today's action will not
impose substantial direct compliance costs on such communities. The EPA
is not aware of sources located on tribal lands that could be subject
to the requirements in 40 CFR 52.34. Accordingly, the requirements of
section 3(b) of Executive Order 13084 do not apply.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act

Section 12(d) of the National Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995
(``NTTAA''), Public Law 104-113 section 12(d) 15 U.S.C. 272 note)
directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in its regulatory
activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., materials specifications, test methods, sampling
procedures, and business practices) that are developed or adopted by
voluntary consensus standards bodies. The NTTAA directs EPA to provide
Congress, through OMB, explanations when the Agency decides not to use
available and applicable voluntary consensus standards.
This rulemaking would require all sources that participate in the
trading program under part 97 to meet the applicable monitoring
requirements of part 75. Part 75 already incorporates a number of
voluntary consensus standards. In addition, EPA's proposed revisions to
part 75 proposed to add two more voluntary consensus standards to the
rule (see 63 FR 28116-28117, discussing ASTM D5373-93 ``Standard
Methods for Instrumental Determination of Carbon, Hydrogen and Nitrogen
in laboratory samples of Coal and Coke,'' and American Petroleum
Institute Section 2 ``Conventional Pipe Provers'' from Chapter 4 of the
Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards, October 1988 edition). The
EPA's proposed part 75 revisions also requested comments on the
inclusion of additional voluntary consensus standards. The EPA has
recently finalized revisions to part 75 addressing some of the topics
raised in EPA's proposed revisions to part 75. As part of this rule
finalization, EPA incorporated two new voluntary consensus standards:
(1) American Petroleum Institute Petroleum Measurement Standards,
Chapter 3, Tank Gauging: Section 1A, Standard Practice for the Manual
Gauging of Petroleum and Petroleum Products, December 1994; Section 1B,
Standard Practice for Level Measurement of Liquid Hydrocarbons in
Stationary Tanks by Automatic Tank Gauging, April 1992 (reaffirmed
January 1997); Section 2, Standard Practice for Gauging Petroleum and
Petroleum Products in Tank Cars, September 1995; Section 3, Standard
Practice for Level Measurement of Liquid Hydrocarbons in Stationary
Pressurized Storage Tanks by Automatic Tank Gauging, June 1996; Section
4, Standard Practice for Level Measurement of Liquid Hydrocarbons on
Marine Vessels by Automatic Tank Gauging, April 1995; and Section 5,
Standard Practice for Level Measurement of Light Hydrocarbon Liquids
Onboard Marine Vessels by Automatic Tank Gauging, March 1997; and
(2) Shop Testing of Automatic Liquid Level Gages, Bulletin 2509 B,
December 1961 (Reaffirmed October 1992), for Sec. 75.19.
This rulemaking involves environmental monitoring or measurement.
Sources that participate in the trading program are required to meet
the monitoring requirements under part 75. Consistent with the Agency's
Performance Based Measurement System (PBMS), part 75 sets forth
performance criteria that allow the use of alternative methods to the
ones set forth in part 75. The PBMS approach is intended to be more
flexible and cost effective for the regulated community; it is also
intended to encourage innovation in analytical technology and improved
data quality. The EPA is not precluding the use of any method, whether
it constitutes a voluntary standard or not, as long as it meets the
performance criteria specified. However, any alternative methods must
be approved in advance before they may be used under part 75.

J. Judicial Review

Section 307(b)(1) of the CAA indicates which Federal Courts of
Appeal have venue for petitions of review of final actions by EPA. This
section provides, in part, that petitions for review must be filed in
the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (i) when the
agency action consists of ``nationally applicable regulations
promulgated, or final actions taken, by the Administrator,'' or (ii)
when such action is locally or regionally applicable, if ``such action
is based on a determination of nationwide scope or effect and if in
taking such action the Administrator finds and publishes that such
action is based on such a determination.''
This rulemaking to modify the May 25 NFR on several section 126
petitions is ``nationally applicable'' within the meaning of section
307(b)(1). At the core of the complete section 126 rulemaking (both the
May 25 NFR and today's modification to that rule) is EPA's
interpretation of sections 126 and 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I). The EPA applied
these interpretations uniformly to each section 126 petition.\19\
Further, the modeling that EPA employed to assist in making the central
decisions in the section 126 rulemaking involved uniform modeling
techniques and a uniform set of air quality metrics to assess upwind
impacts on downwind States. In addition, the cost effectiveness
information was analyzed and applied uniformly to each petition.
Further, the remedy selected by EPA in the May 25 NFR and modified by
today's rule is uniformly applicable to upwind sources in many
different States and involves interstate trading of NO_X
emission allowances. In sum, the numerous legal and technical issues
that EPA addressed in the two final rules that comprise the section 126
rulemaking apply uniformly to all the sources in 12 States and the
District of Columbia for which EPA is making findings and prescribing a
remedy under section 126. Cf. West Virginia Chamber of Commerce v.
Browner, 1998 WL 827315, * 7 (4th Cir., Dec. 1, 1998).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\19\ The EPA interpreted some of the same provisions in the SIP
Call final rule, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit
agreed with the Administrator that the rule was nationally
significant and thus, that venue lies in that circuit. See State of
Michigan v. EPA, No. 98-1497 (D.C. Cir., Order, Mar. 19, 1999)
(citing Texas Municipal Power Agency v. EPA, 89 F.3d 858, 867 (D.C.
Cir. 1996) (per curiam)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

For these reasons, the Administrator also is determining that this
final action modifying the May 25 NFR regarding the section 126
petitions is of nationwide scope and effect for purposes of section
307(b)(1). This is particularly appropriate because in the report on
the 1977 Amendments that revised section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, Congress
noted that the Administrator's determination that an action is of
``nationwide scope or effect'' would be appropriate for any action that
has ``scope or effect beyond a single judicial circuit.'' H.R. Rep. No.
95-294 at 323, 324, reprinted in 1977 U.S.C.C.A.N. 1402-03. Here, the
scope and effect of this rulemaking extend to numerous judicial
circuits since the downwind petitioning States lie in the First,

[[Page 2726]]

Second and Third Circuits of the U.S. Courts of Appeals and the upwind
regulated States lie in the Fourth, Sixth, and Seventh Circuits. In
these circumstances, section 307(b)(1) and its legislative history
calls for the Administrator to find the rule to be of ``nationwide
scope or effect'' and for venue to be in the D.C. Circuit.
Thus, any petitions for review of final actions regarding today's
section 126 rule must be filed in the Court of Appeals for the District
of Columbia Circuit within 60 days from the date final action is
published in the Federal Register.

K. Congressional Review Act

The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. The EPA will submit a report containing this rule and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A ``major rule''
cannot take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2). This action will not impose any additional costs or compliance
burdens on regulated entities beyond the costs and compliance burdens
that would have been associated with the requirements imposed by the
May 25 NFR. This rule will be effective February 17, 2000.

Sec. 52.34 Action on petitions submitted under section 126 relating to
emissions of nitrogen oxides.

* * * * *
(b) Purpose and applicability. Paragraphs (c), (e)(1) and (e)(2),
(g), and (h)(1) and (h)(2) of this section set forth the
Administrator's findings with respect to the 1-hour national ambient
air quality standard (NAAQS) for ozone that certain new and existing
sources of emissions of nitrogen oxides (``NO_X'') in certain
States emit or would emit NO_X in violation of the
prohibition in section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) on
emissions in amounts that contribute significantly to nonattainment in
certain States that submitted petitions in 1997-1998 addressing such
NO_X emissions under section 126 of the CAA. Paragraphs (d),
(e)(3) and (e)(4), (f), and (h)(3) and (h)(4) of this section set forth
the Administrator's affirmative technical determinations with respect
to the 8-hour NAAQS for ozone that certain new and existing sources of
emissions of NO_X in certain States emit or would emit
NO_X in violation of the prohibition in section
110(a)(2)(D)(i) of the CAA on emissions in amounts that contribute
significantly to nonattainment in, or interfere with maintenance by,
certain States that submitted petitions in 1997-1998 addressing such
NO_X emissions under section 126 of the CAA. (As used in this
section, the term new source includes modified sources, as well.)
Paragraph (i) of this section explains the circumstances under which
the findings for sources in a specific State would be withdrawn.
Paragraph (j) of this section sets forth the control requirements that
apply to the sources of NO_X emissions affected by the
findings. Paragraph (k) of this section indefinitely stays the
effectiveness of the affirmative technical determinations with respect
to the 8-hour ozone standard.

enforceable permit that includes a NO_X emission limitation
restricting NO_X emissions during a control period to 25 tons
or less and that includes the special provisions in paragraph (b)(4) of
this section shall be exempt from the requirements of the
NO_X Budget Trading Program, except for the provisions of
this paragraph (b), Sec. 97.2, Sec. 97.3, Sec. 97.4(a), Sec. 97.7, and
subparts E, F, and G of this part. The NO_X emission
limitation under this paragraph (b)(1) shall restrict NO_X
emissions during the control period by limiting unit operating hours.
The restriction on unit operating hours shall be calculated by dividing
25 tons by the unit's maximum potential hourly NO_X mass
emissions, which shall equal the unit's maximum rated hourly heat input
multiplied by the highest default NO_X emission rate
otherwise applicable to the unit under Sec. 75.19 of this chapter.
(2) The exemption under paragraph (b)(1) of this section shall
become effective as follows:
(i) The exemption shall become effective on the date on which the
NO_X emission limitation and the special provisions in the
permit under paragraph (b)(1) of this section become final; or
(ii) If the NO_X emission limitation and the special
provisions in the permit under paragraph (b)(1) of this section become
final during a control period and after the first date on which the
unit operates during such control period, then the exemption shall
become effective on May 1 of such control period, provided that such
NO_X emission limitation and the special provisions apply to
the unit as of such first date of operation. If such NO_X
emission limitation and special provisions do not apply to the unit as
of such first date of operation, then the exemption under paragraph
(b)(1) of this section shall become effective on October 1 of the year
during which such NO_X emission limitation and the special
provisions become final.
(3) The permitting authority that issues a federally enforceable
permit under paragraph (b)(1) of this section for a unit under
paragraph (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this section will provide the
Administrator written notice of the issuance of such permit and, upon
request, a copy of the permit.
(4) Special provisions. (i) A unit exempt under paragraph (b)(1) of
this section shall comply with the restriction on unit operating hours
described in paragraph (b)(1) of this section during the control period
in each year.
(ii) The Administrator will allocate NO_X allowances to
the unit under Secs. 97.41(a) through (c) and 97.42(a) through (c). For
each control period for which the unit is allocated NO_X
allowances under Secs. 97.41(a) through (c) and 97.42(a) through (c):
(A) The owners and operators of the unit must specify a general
account, in which the Administrator will record the NO_X
allowances; and
(B) After the Administrator records a NO_X allowance
allocations under Secs. 97.41(a) through (c) and 97.42(a)

[[Page 2732]]

through (c), the Administrator will deduct, from the general account
under paragraph (b)(4)(ii)(A) of this section, NO_X
allowances that are allocated for the same or a prior control period as
the NO_X allowances allocated to the unit under
Secs. 97.41(a) through (c) and 97.42(a) through (c) and that equal the
NO_X emission limitation (in tons of NO_X) on which
the unit's exemption under paragraph (b)(1) of this section is based.
The NO_X authorized account representative shall ensure that
such general account contains the NO_X allowances necessary
for completion of such deduction.
(iii) A unit exempt under this paragraph (b) shall report hours of
unit operation during the control period in each year to the permitting
authority by November 1 of that year.
(iv) For a period of 5 years from the date the records are created,
the owners and operators of a unit exempt under paragraph (b)(1) of
this section shall retain, at the source that includes the unit,
records demonstrating that the conditions of the federally enforceable
permit under paragraph (b)(1) of this section were met, including the
restriction on unit operating hours. The 5-year period for keeping
records may be extended for cause, at any time prior to the end of the
period, in writing by the permitting authority or the Administrator.
The owners and operators bear the burden of proof that the unit met the
restriction on unit operating hours.
(v) The owners and operators and, to the extent applicable, the
NO_X authorized account representative of a unit exempt under
paragraph (b)(1) of this section shall comply with the requirements of
the NO_X Budget Trading Program concerning all periods for
which the exemption is not in effect, even if such requirements arise,
or must be complied with, after the exemption takes effect.
(vi) On the earlier of the following dates, a unit exempt under
paragraph (b)(1) of this section shall lose its exemption:
(A) The date on which the restriction on unit operating hours
described in paragraph (b)(1) of this section is removed from the
unit's federally enforceable permit or otherwise becomes no longer
applicable to any control period starting in 2003; or
(B) The first date on which the unit fails to comply, or with
regard to which the owners and operators fail to meet their burden of
proving that the unit is complying, with the restriction on unit
operating hours described in paragraph (b)(1) of this section during
any control period starting in 2003.
(vii) A unit that loses its exemption in accordance with paragraph
(b)(4)(vi) of this section shall be subject to the requirements of this
part. For the purpose of applying permitting requirements under subpart
C of this part, allocating allowances under subpart E of this part, and
applying monitoring requirements under subpart H of this part, the unit
shall be treated as commencing operation and, if the unit is covered by
paragraph (a)(1) of this section, commencing commercial operation on
the date the unit loses its exemption.
(viii) A unit that is exempt under paragraph (b)(1) of this section
is not eligible to be a NO_X Budget opt-in unit under subpart
I of this part.

NO_X allowances.
(3) For a period of 5 years from the date the records are created,
the owners and operators of a unit exempt under this section shall

NO_X authorized account representative of a unit exempt under
this section shall comply with the requirements of the NO_X
Budget Trading Program concerning all periods for which the exemption

that is required, or but for this exemption would be required, to have
a title V operating permit shall not resume operation unless the
NO_X authorized account representative of the source submits

In accordance with Secs. 97.41 and 97.42, the Administrator will
allocate to the NO_X Budget units under Sec. 97.4(a) in a
State, for each control period specified in Sec. 97.41, a total number
of NO_X allowances equal to the trading program budget for
the State, as set forth in appendix C of this part, less the sum of the
NO_X emission limitations (in tons) for each unit exempt
under Sec. 97.4(b) that is not allocated any NO_X allowances
under Sec. 97.42 (b) or (c) for the control period and whose
NO_X emission limitation (in tons of NO_X) is not
included in the amount calculated under Sec. 97.42(d)(5)(ii)(B) for the
control period.

Sec. 97.41 Timing requirements for NO_X allowance
allocations.

(a) The NO_X allowance allocations, determined in
accordance with Secs. 97.42(a) through (c), for the control periods in
2003 through 2007 are set forth in appendices A and B of this part.

the years that are 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 years after the applicable
deadline under this paragraph (c).
(d) By April 1, 2003 and April 1 of each year thereafter, the
Administrator will determine by order the NO_X allowance
allocations, in accordance with Sec. 97.42(d), for the control period
in the year of the applicable deadline under this paragraph (d).
(e) The Administrator will make available to the public each
determination of NO_X allowance allocations under paragraph
(b), (c), or (d) of this section and will provide an opportunity for
submission of objections to the determination. Objections shall be
limited to addressing whether the determination is in accordance with
Sec. 97.42. Based on any such objections, the Administrator will adjust
each determination to the extent necessary to ensure that it is in
accordance with Sec. 97.42.

Sec. 97.42 NO_X allowance allocations.

(a)(1) The heat input (in mmBtu) used for calculating
NO_X allowance allocations for each NO_X Budget
unit under Sec. 97.4(a) will be:
(i) For a NO_X allowance allocation under Sec. 97.41(a):
(A) For a unit under Sec. 97.4(a)(1), the average of the two
highest amounts of the unit's heat input for the control periods in
1995 through 1998; or
(B) For a unit under Sec. 97.4(a)(2), the control period in 1995
or, if the Administrator determines that reasonably reliable data are
available for control periods in 1996 through 1998, the average of the
two highest amounts of the unit's heat input for the control periods in
1995 through 1998.
(ii) For a NO_X allowance allocation under Sec. 97.41(b),
the unit's average heat input for the control periods in 2002 through
2004.
(iii) For a NO_X allowance allocation under
Sec. 97.41(c), the unit's average heat input for the control period in
the years that are 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 years before the first year for
which the allocation is being calculated.
(2) The unit's heat input for the control period in each year
specified under paragraph (a)(1) of this section will be determined in
accordance with part 75 of this chapter. Notwithstanding the first
sentence of this paragraph (a)(2):
(i) For a NO_X allowance allocation under Sec. 97.41(a),
such heat input will be determined using the best available data
reported to the Administrator for the unit if the unit was not
otherwise subject to the requirements of part 75 of this chapter for
the control period.
(ii) For a NO_X allowance allocation under Sec. 97.41(b)
or (c) for a unit exempt under Sec. 97.4(b), such heat input shall be
treated as zero if the unit is exempt under Sec. 97.4(b) during the
control period.
(b) For each group of five control periods specified in
Sec. 97.41(a) through (c), the Administrator will allocate to all
NO_X Budget units in a given State under Sec. 97.4(a)(1) that
commenced operation before May 1, 1997 for allocations under
Sec. 97.41(a), May 1, 2003 for allocations under Sec. 97.41(b), and May
1 of the year 5 years before the first year for which the allocation
under Sec. 97.41(c) is being calculated, a total number of
NO_X allowances equal to 95 percent of the portion of the
State's trading program budget under Sec. 97.40 covering such units.
The Administrator will allocate in accordance with the following
procedures:
(1) The Administrator will allocate NO_X allowances to
each NO_X Budget unit under Sec. 97.4(a)(1) for each control
period in an amount equaling 0.15 lb/mmBtu multiplied by the heat input
determined under paragraph (a) of this section, divided by 2,000 lb/
ton, and rounded to the nearest whole number of NO_X
allowances as appropriate.
(2) If the initial total number of NO_X allowances
allocated to all NO_X Budget units under Sec. 97.4(a)(1) in
the State for a control period under paragraph (b)(1) of this section
does not equal 95 percent of the portion of the State's trading program
budget under Sec. 97.40 covering

[[Page 2738]]

such units, the Administrator will adjust the total number of
NO_X allowances allocated to all such NO_X Budget
units for the control period under paragraph (b)(1) of this section so
that the total number of NO_X allowances allocated equals 95
percent of such portion of the State's trading program budget. This
adjustment will be made by: multiplying each unit's allocation by 95
percent of such portion of the State's trading program budget; dividing
by the total number of NO_X allowances allocated under
paragraph (b)(1) of this section for the control period; and rounding
to the nearest whole number of NO_X allowances as
appropriate.
(c) For each group of five control periods specified in
Sec. 97.41(a) through (c), the Administrator will allocate to all
NO_X Budget units in a given State under Sec. 97.4(a)(2) that
commenced operation before May 1, 1997 for allocations under
Sec. 97.41(a), May 1, 2003 for allocations under Sec. 97.41(b), and May
1 of the year 5 years before the first year for which the allocation
under Sec. 97.41(c) is being calculated, a total number of
NO_X allowances equal to 95 percent of the portion of the
State's trading program budget under Sec. 97.40 covering such units.
The Administrator will allocate in accordance with the following
procedures:
(1) The Administrator will allocate NO_X allowances to
each NO_X Budget unit under Sec. 97.4(a)(2) for each control
period in an amount equaling 0.17 lb/mmBtu multiplied by the heat input
determined under paragraph (a) of this section, divided by 2,000 lb/
ton, and rounded to the nearest whole number of NO_X
allowances as appropriate.
(2) If the initial total number of NO_X allowances
allocated to all NO_X Budget units under Sec. 97.4(a)(2) in
the State for a control period under paragraph (c)(1) of this section
does not equal 95 percent of the portion of the State's trading program
budget under Sec. 97.40 covering such units, the Administrator will
adjust the total number of NO_X allowances allocated to all
such NO_X Budget units for the control period under paragraph
(a)(1) of this section so that the total number of NO_X
allowances allocated equals 95 percent of the portion of the State's
trading program budget under Sec. 97.40 covering such units. This
adjustment will be made by: multiplying each unit's allocation by 95
percent of the portion of the State's trading program budget under
Sec. 97.40 covering such units; dividing by the total number of
NO_X allowances allocated under paragraph (c)(1) of this
section for the control period; and rounding to the nearest whole
number of NO_X allowances as appropriate.
(d) For each control period specified in Sec. 97.41(d), the
Administrator will allocate NO_X allowances to NO_X
Budget units in a given State under Sec. 97.4(a) (except for units
exempt under Sec. 97.4(b)) that commence operation, or are projected to
commence operation, on or after: May 1, 1997 (for control periods under
Sec. 97.41(a)); May 1, 2003, (for control periods under Sec. 97.41(b));
and May 1 of the year 5 years before the beginning of the group of 5
years that includes the control period (for control periods under
Sec. 97.41(c)). The Administrator will make the allocations under this
paragraph (d) in accordance with the following procedures:
(1) The Administrator will establish one allocation set-aside for
each control period. Each allocation set-aside will be allocated
NO_X allowances equal to 5 percent of the tons of
NO_X emission in the State's trading program budget under
Sec. 97.40, rounded to the nearest whole number of NO_X
allowances as appropriate.
(2) The NO_X authorized account representative of a
NO_X Budget unit specified in this paragraph (d) may submit
to the Administrator a request, in a format specified by the
Administrator, to be allocated NO_X allowances for the
control period. The NO_X allowance allocation request must be
received by the Administrator on or after the date on which the State
permitting authority issues a permit to construct the unit and by
January 1 before the control period for which NO_X allowances
are requested.
(3) In a NO_X allowance allocation request under
paragraph (d)(2) of this section, the NO_X authorized account
representative for a NO_X Budget unit under Sec. 97.4(a)(1)
may request for the control period NO_X allowances in an
amount that does not exceed the lesser of:
(i) 0.15 lb/mmBtu multiplied by the unit's maximum design heat
input, multiplied by the lesser of 3,672 hours or the number of hours
remaining in the control period starting with the day in the control
period on which the unit commences operation or is projected to
commence operation, divided by 2,000 lb/ton, and rounded to the nearest
whole number of NO_X allowances as appropriate; or
(ii) The unit's most stringent State or Federal NO_X
emission limitation multiplied by the unit's maximum design heat input,
multiplied by the lesser of 3,672 hours or the number of hours
remaining in the control period starting with the day in the control
period on which the unit commences operation or is projected to
commence operation, divided by 2,000 lb/ton, and rounded to the nearest
whole number of NO_X allowances as appropriate.
(4) In a NO_X allowance allocation request under
paragraph (d)(2) of this section, the NO_X authorized account
representative for a NO_X Budget unit under Sec. 97.4(a)(2)
may request for a control period NO_X allowances in an amount
that does not exceed the lesser of:
(i) 0.17 lb/mmBtu multiplied by the unit's maximum design heat
input, multiplied by the lesser of 3,672 hours or the number of hours
remaining in the control period starting with the day in the control
period on which the unit commences operation or is projected to
commence operation, divided by 2,000 lb/ton, and rounded to the nearest
whole number of NO_X allowances as appropriate; or
(ii) The unit's most stringent State or Federal NO_X
emission limitation multiplied by the unit's maximum design heat input,
multiplied by the lesser of 3,672 hours or the number of hours
remaining in the control period starting with the day in the control
period on which the unit commences operation or is projected to
commence operation, divided by 2,000 lb/ton, and rounded to the nearest
whole number of NO_X allowances as appropriate.
(5) The Administrator will review each NO_X allowance
allocation request submitted in accordance with paragraph (d)(2) of
this section and will allocate NO_X allowances pursuant to
such request as follows:
(i) Upon receipt of the NO_X allowance allocation
request, the Administrator will make any necessary adjustments to the
request to ensure that the requirements of paragraphs (d) introductory
text, (d)(2), (d)(3), and (d)(4) are met.
(ii) The Administrator will determine the following amounts:
(A) The sum of the NO_X allowances requested (as adjusted
under paragraph (d)(5)(i) of this section) in all NO_X
allowance allocation requests under paragraph (d)(2) of this section
for the control period; and
(B) For units exempt under Sec. 97.4(b) in the State that commenced
operation, or are projected to commence operation, on or after May 1,
1997 (for control periods under Sec. 97.41(a)); May 1, 2003, (for
control periods under Sec. 97.41(b)); and May 1 of the year 5 years
before beginning of the group of 5 years that includes the control
period (for control periods under Sec. 97.41(c)), the sum of the
NO_X emission limitations (in tons of NO_X) on
which each unit's exemption under Sec. 97.4(b) is based.
(iii) If the number of NO_X allowances in the allocation
set-aside for the control

[[Page 2739]]

period less the amount under paragraph (d)(5)(ii)(B) of this section is
not less than the amount determined under paragraph (d)(5)(ii)(A) of
this section, the Administrator will allocate the amount of the
NO_X allowances requested (as adjusted under paragraph
(d)(5)(i) of this section) to the NO_X Budget unit for which
the allocation request was submitted.
(iv) If the number of NO_X allowances in the allocation
set-aside for the control period less the amount under paragraph
(d)(5)(ii)(B) of this section is less than the amount determined under
paragraph (d)(5)(ii)(A) of this section, the Administrator will
allocate, to the NO_X Budget unit for which the allocation
request was submitted, the amount of NO_X allowances
requested (as adjusted under paragraph (d)(5)(i) of this section)
multiplied by the number of NO_X allowances in the allocation
set-aside for the control period less the amount determined under
paragraph (d)(5)(ii)(B) of this section, divided by the amount
determined under paragraph (d)(5)(ii)(A) of this section, and rounded
to the nearest whole number of NO_X allowances as
appropriate.
(e)(1) For a NO_X Budget unit that is allocated
NO_X allowances under paragraph (d) of this section for a
control period, the Administrator will deduct NO_X allowances
under Sec. 97.54(b), (e), or (f) to account for the actual heat input
of the unit during the control period. The Administrator will calculate
the number of NO_X allowances to be deducted to account for
the unit's actual heat input using the following formulas and rounding
to the nearest whole number of NO_X allowance as appropriate,
provided that the number of NO_X allowances to be deducted
shall be zero if the number calculated is less than zero:

NO_X allowances deducted for actual heat input for a unit
under Sec. 97.4(a)(1) = Unit's NO_X allowances allocated for
control period-(Unit's actual control period heat input x 0.15 lb/mmBtu
x 2,000 lb/ton); and NO_X allowances deducted for actual
heat input for a unit under Sec. 97.4(a)(2) = Unit's NO_X
allowances allocated for control period-(Unit's actual control period
heat input x 0.17 lb/mmBtu x 2,000 lb/ton)

Where:

``Unit's NO_X allowances allocated for control
period'' is the number of NO_X allowances allocated to the
unit for the control period under paragraph (d) of this section; and
``Unit's actual control period heat input'' is the heat input
(in mmBtu) of the unit during the control period.

(2) The Administrator will transfer any NO_X allowances
deducted under paragraph (c)(1) of this section to the allocation set-
aside for the control period for which they were allocated.
(f) After making the deductions for compliance under Sec. 97.54(b),
(e), or (f) for a control period, the Administrator will determine
whether any NO_X allowances remain in the allocation set-
aside for the control period. The Administrator will allocate any such
NO_X allowances to the NO_X Budget units in the
State using the following formula and rounding to the nearest whole
number of NO_X allowances as appropriate:

Unit's share of NO_X allowances remaining in allocation set-
aside = Total NO_X allowances remaining in allocation set-
aside x (Unit's NO_X allowance allocation State's
trading program budget excluding allocation set-aside)

Where:

``Total NO_X allowances remaining in allocation set-
aside'' is the total number of NO_X allowances remaining
in the allocation set-aside for the control period;
``Unit's NO_X allowance allocation'' is the number of
NO_X allowances allocated under paragraph (b) or (c) of
this section to the unit for the control period to which the
allocation set-aside applies; and
``State's trading program budget excluding allocation set-
aside'' is the State's trading program budget under Sec. 97.40 for
the control period to which the allocation set-aside applies
multiplied by 95 percent, rounded to the nearest whole number of
NO_X allowances as appropriate.

(g) If the Administrator determines that NO_X allowances
were allocated under paragraph (b), (c), or (d) of this section for a
control period and the recipient of the allocation is not actually a
NO_X Budget unit under Sec. 97.4(a), the Administrator will
notify the NO_X authorized account representative and then
will act in accordance with the following procedures:
(1)(i) The Administrator will not record such NO_X
allowances for the control period in an account under Sec. 97.53;
(ii) If the Administrator already recorded such NO_X
allowances for the control period in an account under Sec. 97.53 and if
the Administrator makes such determination before making all deductions
pursuant to Sec. 97.54 (except deductions pursuant to Sec. 97.54(d)(2))
for the control period, then the Administrator will deduct from the
account NO_X allowances equal in number to and allocated for
the same or a prior control period as the NO_X allowances
allocated to such recipient for the control period. The NO_X
authorized account representative shall ensure that the account
contains the NO_X allowances necessary for completion of such
deduction. If account does not contain the necessary NO_X
allowances, the Administrator will deduct the required number of
NO_X allowances, regardless of the control period for which
they were allocated, whenever NO_X allowances are recorded in
the account; or
(iii) If the Administrator already recorded such NO_X
allowances for the control period in an account under Sec. 97.53 and if
the Administrator makes such determination after making all deductions
pursuant to Sec. 97.54 (except deductions pursuant to Sec. 97.54(d)(2))
for the control period, then the Administrator will apply paragraph
(g)(1)(ii) of this section to any subsequent control period for which
NO_X allowances were allocated to such recipient.
(2) The Administrator will transfer the NO_X allowances
that are not recorded, or that are deducted, pursuant to paragraph
(g)(1) of this section to an allocation set-aside for the State in
which such source is located.

Sec. 97.43 Compliance Supplement Pool.

credits are requested, to less than both 0.25 lb/mmBtu and 80 percent
of the unit's NO_X emission rate in the 2000 control period.

[[Page 2740]]

(4) The NO_X authorized account representative of a
NO_X Budget unit that meets the requirements of paragraphs
(a) (1) and (3) of this section may submit to the Administrator a
request for early reduction credits for the unit based on
NO_X emission rate reductions made by the unit in the control
period for 2001 or 2002.
(i) In the early reduction credit request, the NO_X
authorized account may request early reduction credits for such control
period in an amount equal to the unit's heat input for such control
period multiplied by the difference between 0.25 lb/mmBtu and the
unit's NO_X emission rate for such control period, divided by
2000 lb/ton, and rounded to the nearest whole number of tons.
(ii) The early reduction credit request must be submitted, in a
format specified by the Administrator, by February 1, 2003.
(b) For any NO_X Budget unit that is subject to the Ozone
Transport Commission NO_X Budget Program under title I of the
Clean Air Act, the owners and operators may request early reduction
credits in accordance with the following requirements:
(1) The NO_X authorized account representative of the
unit may submit to the Administrator a request for early reduction
credits in an amount equal to the amount of banked allowances under the
Ozone Transport Commission NO_X Budget Program that were
allocated for the control period in 2001 or 2002 and are held by the
unit, in accordance with the Ozone Transport Commission NO_X
Budget Program, as of the date of submission of the request. During the
entire control period in 2001 or 2002 for which the allowances were
allocated, the unit must have monitored and reported NO_X
emissions in accordance with part 75 (except for subpart H) of this
chapter and the Guidance for Implementation of Emission Monitoring
Requirements for the NO_X Budget Program (January 28, 1997).
(2) The early reduction credit request under paragraph (b)(1) must
be submitted, in a format specified by the Administrator, by February
1, 2003.
(3) The NO_X authorized account representative of the
unit shall not submit a request for early reduction credits under
paragraph (b)(1) of this section for banked allowances under the Ozone
Transport Commission NO_X Budget Program that were allocated
for any control period during which the unit made NO_X
emission reductions for which he or she submits a request for early
reduction credits under paragraph (a) of this section for the unit.
(c) The Administrator will review each early reduction credit
request submitted in accordance with paragraph (a) or (b) of this
section and will allocate NO_X allowances to NO_X
Budget units in a given State and covered by such request as follows:
(1) Upon receipt of each early reduction credit request, the
Administrator will make any necessary adjustments to the request to
ensure that the amount of the early reduction credits requested meets
the requirements of paragraph (a) or (b) of this section.
(2) After February 1, 2003, the Administrator will make available
to the public a statement of the total number of early reduction
credits requested by NO_X Budget units in the State.
(3) If the State's compliance supplement pool set forth in appendix
D of this part has a number of NO_X allowances not less than
the amount of early reduction credits in all early reduction credit
requests under paragraph (a) or (b) of this section for 2001 and 2002
(as adjusted under paragraph (c)(1) of this section) submitted by
February 1, 2003, the Administrator will allocate to each
NO_X Budget unit covered by such requests one allowance for
each early reduction credit requested (as adjusted under paragraph
(c)(1) of this section).
(4) If the State's compliance supplement pool set forth in appendix
D of this part has a smaller number of NO_X allowances than
the amount of early reduction credits in all early reduction credit
requests under paragraph (a) or (b) of this section for 2001 and 2002
(as adjusted under paragraph (c)(1) of this section) submitted by
February 1, 2003, the Administrator will allocate NO_X
allowances to each NO_X Budget unit covered by such requests
according to the following formula and rounding to the nearest whole
number of NO_X allowances as appropriate:

Unit's allocation for early reduction credits = Unit's adjusted early
reduction credits x (State's compliance supplement pool
Total adjusted early reduction credits for all units)

Where:

``Unit's allocation for early reduction credits'' is the number
of NO_X allowances allocated to the unit for early
reduction credits.
``Unit's adjusted early reduction credits'' is the amount of
early reduction credits requested for the unit for 2001 and 2002 in
early reduction credit requests under paragraph (a) or (b) of this
section, as adjusted under paragraph (c)(1) of this section.
``State's compliance supplement pool'' is the number of
NO_X allowances in the State's compliance supplement pool
set forth in appendix D of this part.
``Total adjusted early reduction credits for all units'' is the
amount of early reduction credits requested for all units for 2001
and 2002 in early reduction credit requests under paragraph (a) or
(b) of this section, as adjusted under paragraph (c)(1) of this
section.

(5) By April 1, 2003, the Administrator will determine by order the
allocations under paragraph (c)(3) or (4) of this section. The
Administrator will make available to the public each determination of
NO_X allowance allocations and will provide an opportunity
for submission of objections to the determination. Objections shall be
limited to addressing whether the determination is in accordance with
paragraph (c)(1), (3), or (4) of this section. Based on any such
objections, the Administrator will adjust each determination to the
extent necessary to ensure that it is in accordance with paragraph
(c)(1), (3), or (4) of this section.
(6) By May 1, 2003, the Administrator will record the allocations
under paragraph (c)(3) or (4) of this section.
(7) NO_X allowances recorded under paragraph (c)(6) of
this section may be deducted for compliance under Sec. 97.54 for the
control period in 2003 or 2004. Notwithstanding Sec. 97.55(a), the
Administrator will deduct as retired any NO_X allowance that
is recorded under paragraph (c)(6) of this section and that is not
deducted for compliance under Sec. 97.54 for the control period in 2003
or 2004.
(8) NO_X allowances recorded under paragraph (c)(6) of
this section are treated as banked allowances in 2004 for the purposes

recorded in the general account specified by the owners and operators
of the unit. The Administrator will record NO_X allowances
for 2003 for a NO_X Budget opt-in unit in the unit's
compliance account as allocated under Sec. 97.88(a).
(b) By May 1, 2001, the Administrator will record the
NO_X allowances for 2004 for a NO_X Budget unit
allocated under subpart E of this part in the unit's compliance
account, except for NO_X allowances under Sec. 97.4(b)(4)(ii)
or Sec. 97.5(c)(2), which will be recorded in the general account
specified by the owners and operators of the unit. The Administrator
will record NO_X allowances for 2004 for a NO_X
Budget opt-in unit in the unit's compliance account as allocated under
Sec. 97.88(a).
(c) By May 1, 2002, the Administrator will record the

will record NO_X allowances for 2006 for a NO_X
Budget opt-in unit in the unit's compliance account as allocated under
Sec. 97.88(a).
(e) Each year starting with 2004, after the Administrator has made
all deductions from a NO_X Budget unit's compliance account
and the overdraft account pursuant to Sec. 97.54 (except deductions
pursuant to Sec. 97.54(d)(2)), the Administrator will record:
(1) NO_X allowances, in the compliance account, as
allocated to the unit under subpart E of this part for the third year

NO_X allowance a unique identification number that will
include digits identifying the year for which the NO_X
allowance is allocated.

Sec. 97.54 Compliance.

(a) NO_X allowance transfer deadline. The NO_X
allowances are available to be deducted for compliance with a unit's
NO_X Budget emissions limitation for a control period in a
given year only if the NO_X allowances:
(1) Were allocated for a control period in a prior year or the same
year; and
(2) Are held in the unit's compliance account, or the overdraft
account of the source where the unit is located, as of the
NO_X allowance transfer deadline for that control period or
are transferred into the compliance account or

[[Page 2743]]

overdraft account by a NO_X allowance transfer correctly
submitted for recordation under Sec. 97.60 by the NO_X
allowance transfer deadline for that control period.
(b) Deductions for compliance. (1) Following the recordation, in
accordance with Sec. 97.61, of NO_X allowance transfers
submitted for recordation in the unit's compliance account or the
overdraft account of the source where the unit is located by the
NO_X allowance transfer deadline for a control period, the
Administrator will deduct NO_X allowances available under
paragraph (a) of this section to cover the unit's NO_X
emissions (as determined in accordance with subpart H of this part), or
to account for actual heat input under Sec. 97.42(e), for the control
period:
(i) From the compliance account; and
(ii) Only if no more NO_X allowances available under
paragraph (a) of this section remain in the compliance account, from
the overdraft account. In deducting allowances for units at the source
from the overdraft account, the Administrator will begin with the unit
having the compliance account with the lowest account number and end
with the unit having the compliance account with the highest account
number (with account numbers sorted beginning with the left-most
character and ending with the right-most character and the letter
characters assigned values in alphabetical order and less than all
numeric characters).
(2) The Administrator will deduct NO_X allowances first
under paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section and then under paragraph
(b)(1)(ii) of this section:
(i) Until the number of NO_X allowances deducted for the
control period equals the number of tons of NO_X emissions,
determined in accordance with subpart H of this part, from the unit for
the control period for which compliance is being determined, plus the
number of NO_X allowances required for deduction to account
for actual heat input under Sec. 97.42(e) for the control period; or
(ii) Until no more NO_X allowances available under
paragraph (a) of this section remain in the respective account.
(c)(1) Identification of NO_X allowances by serial
number. The NO_X authorized account representative for each
compliance account may identify by serial number the NO_X
allowances to be deducted from the unit's compliance account under
paragraph (b), (d), (e), or (f) of this section. Such identification
shall be made in the compliance certification report submitted in
accordance with Sec. 97.30.
(2) First-in, first-out. The Administrator will deduct
NO_X allowances for a control period from the compliance
account, in the absence of an identification or in the case of a
partial identification of NO_X allowances by serial number
under paragraph (c)(1) of this section, or the overdraft account on a
first-in, first-out (FIFO) accounting basis in the following order:
(i) Those NO_X allowances that were allocated for the
control period to the unit under subpart E or I of this part;
(ii) Those NO_X allowances that were allocated for the
control period to any unit and transferred and recorded in the account
pursuant to subpart G of this part, in order of their date of
recordation;
(iii) Those NO_X allowances that were allocated for a
prior control period to the unit under subpart E or I of this part; and
(iv) Those NO_X allowances that were allocated for a
prior control period to any unit and transferred and recorded in the
account pursuant to subpart G of this part, in order of their date of
recordation.
(d) Deductions for excess emissions. (1) After making the
deductions for compliance under paragraph (b) of this section, the
Administrator will deduct from the unit's compliance account or the
overdraft account of the source where the unit is located a number of
NO_X allowances, allocated for a control period after the
control period in which the unit has excess emissions, equal to three
times the number of the unit's excess emissions.
(2) If the compliance account or overdraft account does not contain
sufficient NO_X allowances, the Administrator will deduct the
required number of NO_X allowances, regardless of the control
period for which they were allocated, whenever NO_X
allowances are recorded in either account.
(3) Any allowance deduction required under paragraph (d) of this
section shall not affect the liability of the owners and operators of
the NO_X Budget unit for any fine, penalty, or assessment, or
their obligation to comply with any other remedy, for the same
violation, as ordered under the Clean Air Act or applicable State law.
The following guidelines will be followed in assessing fines, penalties
or other obligations:
(i) For purposes of determining the number of days of violation, if
a NO_X Budget unit has excess emissions for a control period,
each day in the control period (153 days) constitutes a day in
violation unless the owners and operators of the unit demonstrate that
a lesser number of days should be considered.
(ii) Each ton of excess emissions is a separate violation.
(e) Deductions for units sharing a common stack. In the case of
units sharing a common stack and having emissions that are not
separately monitored or apportioned in accordance with subpart H of
this part:
(1) The NO_X authorized account representative of the
units may identify the percentage of NO_X allowances to be
deducted from each such unit's compliance account to cover the unit's
share of NO_X emissions from the common stack for a control
period. Such identification shall be made in the compliance
certification report submitted in accordance with Sec. 97.30.
(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this section, the
Administrator will deduct NO_X allowances for each such unit
until the number of NO_X allowances deducted equals the
unit's identified percentage under paragraph (e)(1) of this section or,
if no percentage is identified, an equal percentage for each unit
multiplied by the number of tons of NO_X emissions, as
determined in accordance with subpart H of this part, from the common
stack for the control period for which compliance is being determined.
In addition to the deductions under the first sentence of this
paragraph (e)(1), the Administrator will deduct NO_X
allowances for each such unit until the number of NO_X
allowances deducted equals the number of NO_X allowances
required to account for actual heat input under Sec. 97.42(e) for the
unit for the control period.
(f) Deduction of banked allowances. Each year starting in 2005,
after the Administrator has completed the designation of banked
NO_X allowances under Sec. 97.55(b) and before May 1 of the
year, the Administrator will determine the extent to which banked
NO_X allowances otherwise available under paragraph (a) of
this section are available for compliance in the control period for the
current year, as follows:
(1) The Administrator will determine the total number of banked
NO_X allowances held in compliance accounts, overdraft
accounts, or general accounts.
(2) If the total number of banked NO_X allowances
determined, under paragraph (f)(1) of this section, to be held in
compliance accounts, overdraft accounts, or general accounts is less
than or equal to 10 percent of the sum of the trading program budgets
under Sec. 97.40 for all States for the control period, any banked
NO_X allowance may be deducted for compliance in

[[Page 2744]]

accordance with paragraphs (a) through (e) of this section.
(3) If the total number of banked NO_X allowances
determined, under paragraph (f)(1) of this section, to be held in
compliance accounts, overdraft accounts, or general accounts exceeds 10
percent of the sum of the trading program budgets under Sec. 97.40 for
all States for the control period, any banked allowance may be deducted
for compliance in accordance with paragraphs (a) through (e) of this
section, except as follows:
(i) The Administrator will determine the following ratio: 0.10
multiplied by the sum of the trading program budgets under Sec. 97.40
for all States for the control period and divided by the total number
of banked NO_X allowances determined, under paragraph (f)(1)
of this section, to be held in compliance accounts, overdraft accounts,
or general accounts.
(ii) The Administrator will multiply the number of banked
NO_X allowances in each compliance account or overdraft
account by the ratio determined under paragraph (f)(3)(i) of this
section. The resulting product is the number of banked NO_X
allowances in the account that may be deducted for compliance in
accordance with paragraphs (a) through (e) of this section. Any banked
NO_X allowances in excess of the resulting product may be
deducted for compliance in accordance with paragraphs (a) through (e)
of this section, except that, if such NO_X allowances are
used to make a deduction under paragraph (b) or (e) of this section,
two (rather than one) such NO_X allowances shall authorize up
to one ton of NO_X emissions during the control period and
must be deducted for each deduction of one NO_X allowance
required under paragraph (b) or (e) of this section.
(g) Recordation of deductions. The Administrator will record in the
appropriate compliance account or overdraft account all deductions from
such an account pursuant to paragraph (b), (d), (e), or (f) of this
section.

Sec. 97.55 Banking.

NO_X allowances may be banked for future use or transfer
in a compliance account, an overdraft account, or a general account, as
follows:
(a) Any NO_X allowance that is held in a compliance
account, an overdraft account, or a general account will remain in such
account unless and until the NO_X allowance is deducted or
transferred under Sec. 97.31, Sec. 97.54, Sec. 97.56, or subpart G or I
of this part.
(b) The Administrator will designate, as a ``banked''
NO_X allowance, any NO_X allowance that remains in
a compliance account, an overdraft account, or a general account after
the Administrator has made all deductions for a given control period
from the compliance account or overdraft account pursuant to Sec. 97.54

Subpart I--Individual Unit Opt-ins.

Sec. 97.80 Applicability.

A unit that is in a State (as defined in Sec. 97.2), is not a
NO_X Budget unit under Sec. 97.4(a), is not a unit exempt
under Sec. 97.4(b), vents all of its emissions to a stack, and is
operating, may qualify to be a NO_X Budget opt-in unit under
this subpart. A unit that is a NO_X Budget unit under
Sec. 97.4(a), is covered by an exemption under Sec. 97.4(b) or
Sec. 97.5 that is in effect, or is not operating is not eligible to be
a NO_X Budget opt-in unit.

Sec. 97.81 General.

Except otherwise as provided in this part, a NO_X Budget
opt-in unit shall be treated as a NO_X Budget unit for
purposes of applying subparts A through H of this part.

Sec. 97.82 NO_X authorized account representative.

A unit for which an application for a NO_X Budget opt-in
permit is submitted, or a NO_X Budget opt-in unit, located at
the same source as one or more NO_X Budget units, shall have
the same NO_X authorized account representative as such
NO_X Budget units.

Sec. 97.83 Applying for NO_X Budget opt-in permit.

(a) Applying for initial NO_X Budget opt-in permit. In
order to apply for an initial NO_X Budget opt-in permit, the
NO_X authorized account representative of a unit qualified
under Sec. 97.80 may submit to the Administrator and the permitting
authority at any time, except as provided under Sec. 97.86(g):
(1) A complete NO_X Budget permit application under
Sec. 97.22;
(2) A monitoring plan submitted in accordance with subpart H of
this part; and
(3) A complete account certificate of representation under
Sec. 97.13, if no NO_X authorized account representative has
been previously designated for the unit.
(b) Duty to reapply. Unless the NO_X Budget opt-in permit
is terminated or revised under Sec. 97.86(e) or Sec. 97.87(b)(1)(i),
the NO_X authorized account representative of a
NO_X Budget opt-in unit shall submit to the Administrator and
permitting authority a complete NO_X Budget permit
application under Sec. 97.22 to renew the NO_X Budget opt-in
permit in accordance with Sec. 97.21(c) and, if applicable, an updated
monitoring plan in accordance with subpart H of this part.

Sec. 97.84 Opt-in process.

The permitting authority will issue or deny an initial
NO_X Budget opt-in permit for a unit for which an application
for a NO_X Budget opt-in permit under Sec. 97.83 is
submitted, in accordance with Sec. 97.20 and the following:
(a) Interim review of monitoring plan. The Administrator will
determine, on an interim basis, the sufficiency of the monitoring plan
accompanying the initial application for a NO_X Budget opt-in
permit under Sec. 97.83. A monitoring plan is sufficient, for purposes
of interim review, if the plan appears to contain information
demonstrating that the NO_X emissions rate and heat input
rate of the unit are monitored and reported in accordance with subpart
H of this part. A determination of sufficiency shall not be construed
as acceptance or approval of the unit's monitoring plan.
(b) If the Administrator determines that the unit's monitoring plan
is sufficient under paragraph (a) of this section and after completion
of monitoring system certification under subpart H of this part, the
NO_X emissions rate and the heat input of the unit shall be
monitored and reported in accordance with subpart H of this part for
one full control period during which percent monitor data availability
is not less than 90 percent and during which the unit is in full
compliance with any applicable State or Federal emissions or emissions-
related requirements. Solely for purposes of applying the requirements
in the prior sentence, the unit shall be treated as a ``NO_X
Budget unit'' prior to issuance of a NO_X Budget opt-in
permit covering the unit.
(c) Based on the information monitored and reported under paragraph
(b) of this section, the Administrator will calculate the unit's
baseline heat input, which will equal the unit's total heat input (in
mmBtu) for the control period, and the unit's baseline NO_X
emissions rate, which will equal the unit's total NO_X mass
emissions (in lb) for the control period divided by the unit's baseline
heat input.
(d) Issuance of draft NO_X Budget opt-in permit for
public comment. The permitting authority will issue a draft
NO_X Budget opt-in permit for public comment in accordance
with Sec. 97.20.
(e) Not withstanding paragraphs (a) through (d) of this section, if
at any time before issuance of a draft NO_X Budget opt-in
permit for public comment for the unit, the Administrator or the
permitting authority determines that the unit does not qualify as a
NO_X Budget opt-in unit under Sec. 97.80, the permitting
authority will issue a draft denial of a NO_X Budget opt-in
permit for public comment for the unit in accordance with Sec. 97.20.
(f) Withdrawal of application for NO_X Budget opt-in
permit. A NO_X authorized account representative of a unit
may withdraw its application for an initial NO_X Budget opt-
in permit under Sec. 97.83 at any time prior to the issuance of the

[[Page 2750]]

initial NO_X Budget opt-in permit. Once the application for a
NO_X Budget opt-in permit is withdrawn, a NO_X
authorized account representative wanting to reapply must submit a new
application for an initial NO_X Budget permit under
Sec. 97.83.
(g) The unit shall be a NO_X Budget opt-in unit and a
NO_X Budget unit starting May 1 of the first control period
starting after the issuance of the initial NO_X Budget opt-in
permit by the permitting authority.

Sec. 97.85 NO_X Budget opt-in permit contents.

(a) Each NO_X Budget opt-in permit will contain all
elements required for a complete NO_X Budget opt-in permit
application under Sec. 97.22.
(b) Each NO_X Budget opt-in permit is deemed to
incorporate automatically the definitions of terms under Sec. 97.2 and,
upon recordation by the Administrator under subpart F or G of this
part, every allocation, transfer, or deduction of NO_X
allowances to or from the compliance accounts of each NO_X
Budget opt-in unit covered by the NO_X Budget opt-in permit
or the overdraft account of the NO_X Budget source where the
NO_X Budget opt-in unit is located.

Sec. 97.86 Withdrawal from NO_X Budget Trading Program.

(a) Requesting withdrawal. To withdraw from the NO_X
Budget Trading Program, the NO_X authorized account
representative of a NO_X Budget opt-in unit shall submit to
the Administrator and the permitting authority a request to withdraw
effective as of a specified date prior to May 1 or after September 30.
The submission shall be made no later than 90 days prior to the
requested effective date of withdrawal.
(b) Conditions for withdrawal. Before a NO_X Budget opt-
in unit covered by a request under paragraph (a) of this section may
withdraw from the NO_X Budget Trading Program and the
NO_X Budget opt-in permit may be terminated under paragraph
(e) of this section, the following conditions must be met:
(1) For the control period immediately before the withdrawal is to
be effective, the NO_X authorized account representative must
submit or must have submitted to the Administrator and the permitting
authority an annual compliance certification report in accordance with
Sec. 97.30.
(2) If the NO_X Budget opt-in unit has excess emissions
for the control period immediately before the withdrawal is to be
effective, the Administrator will deduct or has deducted from the
NO_X Budget opt-in unit's compliance account, or the
overdraft account of the NO_X Budget source where the
NO_X Budget opt-in unit is located, the full amount required
under Sec. 97.54(d) for the control period.
(3) After the requirements for withdrawal under paragraphs (b)(1)
and (2) of this section are met, the Administrator will deduct from the
NO_X Budget opt-in unit's compliance account, or the
overdraft account of the NO_X Budget source where the
NO_X Budget opt-in unit is located, NO_X allowances
equal in number to and allocated for the same or a prior control period
as any NO_X allowances allocated to that source under
Sec. 97.88 for any control period for which the withdrawal is to be
effective. The Administrator will close the NO_X Budget opt-
in unit's compliance account and transfer any remaining allowances to a
general account specified by the owners and operators of the
NO_X Budget opt-in unit.
(c) A NO_X Budget opt-in unit that withdraws from the
NO_X Budget Trading Program shall comply with all
requirements under the NO_X Budget Trading Program concerning
all years for which such NO_X Budget opt-in unit was a
NO_X Budget opt-in unit, even if such requirements arise or
must be complied with after the withdrawal takes effect.
(d) Notification. (1) After the requirements for withdrawal under
paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section are met (including deduction of
the full amount of NO_X allowances required), the
Administrator will issue a notification to the permitting authority and
the NO_X authorized account representative of the
NO_X Budget opt-in unit of the acceptance of the withdrawal
of the NO_X Budget opt-in unit as of a specified effective
date that is after such requirements have been met and that is prior to
May 1 or after September 30.
(2) If the requirements for withdrawal under paragraphs (a) and (b)
of this section are not met, the Administrator will issue a
notification to the permitting authority and the NO_X
authorized account representative of the NO_X Budget opt-in
unit that the request to withdraw is denied. If the NO_X
Budget opt-in unit's request to withdraw is denied, the NO_X
Budget opt-in unit shall remain subject to the requirements for a
NO_X Budget opt-in unit.
(e) Permit revision. After the Administrator issues a notification
under paragraph (d)(1) of this section that the requirements for
withdrawal have been met, the permitting authority will revise the
NO_X Budget permit covering the NO_X Budget opt-in
unit to terminate the NO_X Budget opt-in permit as of the
effective date specified under paragraph (d)(1) of this section. A
NO_X Budget opt-in unit shall continue to be a NO_X
Budget opt-in unit until the effective date of the termination.
(f) Reapplication upon failure to meet conditions of withdrawal. If
the Administrator denies the request to withdraw the NO_X
Budget opt-in unit, the NO_X authorized account
representative may submit another request to withdraw in accordance
with paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section.
(g) Ability to return to the NO_X Budget Trading Program.
Once a NO_X Budget opt-in unit withdraws from the
NO_X Budget Trading Program and its NO_X Budget
opt-in permit is terminated under paragraph (e) of this section, the
NO_X authorized account representative may not submit another
application for a NO_X Budget opt-in permit under Sec. 97.83
for the unit prior to the date that is 4 years after the date on which
the terminated NO_X Budget opt-in permit became effective.

Sec. 97.87 Change in regulatory status.

(a) Notification. When a NO_X Budget opt-in unit becomes
a NO_X Budget unit under Sec. 97.4(a), the NO_X
authorized account representative shall notify in writing the
permitting authority and the Administrator of such change in the
NO_X Budget opt-in unit's regulatory status, within 30 days
of such change.
(b) Permitting authority's and Administrator's action. (1)(i) When
the NO_X Budget opt-in unit becomes a NO_X Budget
unit under Sec. 97.4(a), the permitting authority will revise the
NO_X Budget opt-in unit's NO_X Budget opt-in permit
to meet the requirements of a NO_X Budget permit under
Sec. 97.23 as of an effective date that is the date on which such
NO_X Budget opt-in unit becomes a NO_X Budget unit
under Sec. 97.4(a).
(ii)(A) The Administrator will deduct from the compliance account
for the NO_X Budget unit under paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this
section, or the overdraft account of the NO_X Budget source
where the unit is located, NO_X allowances equal in number to
and allocated for the same or a prior control period as:
(1) Any NO_X allowances allocated to the NO_X
Budget unit (as a NO_X Budget opt-in unit) under Sec. 97.88
for any control period after the last control period during which the
unit's NO_X Budget opt-in permit was effective; and
(2) If the effective date of the NO_X Budget permit
revision under paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section is during a control
period, the NO_X allowances allocated to the NO_X
Budget unit (as a NO_X Budget opt-in unit) under Sec. 97.88
for the control period multiplied by the number of days in the control
period

[[Page 2751]]

starting with the effective date of the permit revision under paragraph
(b)(1)(i) of this section, divided by the total number of days in the
control period, and rounded to the nearest whole number of
NO_X allowances as appropriate.
(B) The NO_X authorized account representative shall
ensure that the compliance account of the NO_X Budget unit
under paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section, or the overdraft account of
the NO_X Budget source where the unit is located, contains
the NO_X allowances necessary for completion of the deduction
under paragraph (b)(1)(ii)(A) of this section. If the compliance
account or overdraft account does not contain the necessary
NO_X allowances, the Administrator will deduct the required
number of NO_X allowances, regardless of the control period
for which they were allocated, whenever NO_X allowances are
recorded in either account.
(iii)(A) For every control period during which the NO_X
Budget permit revised under paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section is in
effect, the NO_X Budget unit under paragraph (b)(1)(i) of
this section will be treated, solely for purposes of NO_X
allowance allocations under Sec. 97.42, as a unit that commenced
operation on the effective date of the NO_X Budget permit
revision under paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section and will be
allocated NO_X allowances under Sec. 97.42. The unit's
deadline under Sec. 97.84(b) for meeting monitoring requirements in
accordance with subpart H of this part shall not changed by the change
in the unit's regulatory status or by the revision of the
NO_X Budget permit under paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section.
(B) Notwithstanding paragraph (b)(1)(iii)(A) of this section, if
the effective date of the NO_X Budget permit revision under
paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section is during a control period, the
following number of NO_X allowances will be allocated to the
NO_X Budget unit under paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section
under Sec. 97.42 for the control period: the number of NO_X
allowances otherwise allocated to the NO_X Budget unit under
Sec. 97.42 for the control period multiplied by the number of days in
the control period starting with the effective date of the permit
revision under paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section, divided by the
total number of days in the control period, and rounded to the nearest
whole number of NO_X allowances as appropriate.
(2)(i) When the NO_X authorized account representative of
a NO_X Budget opt-in unit does not renew its NO_X
Budget opt-in permit under Sec. 97.83(b), the Administrator will deduct
from the NO_X Budget opt-in unit's compliance account, or the
overdraft account of the NO_X Budget source where the
NO_X Budget opt-in unit is located, NO_X allowances
equal in number to and allocated for the same or a prior control period
as any NO_X allowances allocated to the NO_X Budget
opt-in unit under Sec. 97.88 for any control period after the last
control period for which the NO_X Budget opt-in permit is
effective. The NO_X authorized account representative shall
ensure that the NO_X Budget opt-in unit's compliance account
or the overdraft account of the NO_X Budget source where the
NO_X Budget opt-in unit is located contains the
NO_X allowances necessary for completion of such deduction.
If the compliance account or overdraft account does not contain the
necessary NO_X allowances, the Administrator will deduct the
required number of NO_X allowances, regardless of the control
period for which they were allocated, whenever NO_X
allowances are recorded in either account.
(ii) After the deduction under paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this section
is completed, the Administrator will close the NO_X Budget
opt-in unit's compliance account. If any NO_X allowances
remain in the compliance account after completion of such deduction and
any deduction under Sec. 97.54, the Administrator will close the
NO_X Budget opt-in unit's compliance account and transfer any
remaining allowances to a general account specified by the owners and
operators of the NO_X Budget opt-in unit.

Sec. 97.88 NO_X allowance allocations to opt-in units.

(a) NO_X allotment allocation. (1) By April 1 immediately
before the first control period for which the NO_X Budget
opt-in permit is effective, the Administrator will determine by order
the NO_X allowance allocations for the NO_X Budget
opt-in unit for the control period in accordance with paragraph (b) of
this section.
(2) By no later than April 1, after the first control period for
which the NO_X Budget opt-in permit is in effect, and April 1
of each year thereafter, the Administrator will determine by order the
NO_X allowance allocations for the NO_X Budget opt-
in unit for the next control period, in accordance with paragraph (b)
of this section.
(3) The Administrator will make available to the public each
determination of NO_X allowance allocations under paragraph
(a)(1) or (2) of this section and will provide an opportunity for
submission of objections to the determination. Objections shall be
limited to addressing whether the determination is in accordance with
paragraph (b) of this section. Based on any such objections, the
Administrator will adjust each determination to the extent necessary to
ensure that it is in accordance with paragraph (b) of this section.
(b) For each control period for which the NO_X Budget
opt-in unit has an approved NO_X Budget opt-in permit, the
NO_X Budget opt-in unit will be allocated NO_X
allowances in accordance with the following procedures:
(1) The heat input (in mmBtu) used for calculating NO_X
allowance allocations will be the lesser of:
(i) The unit's baseline heat input determined pursuant to
Sec. 97.84(c); or
(ii) The unit's heat input, as determined in accordance with
subpart H of this part, for the control period in the year prior to the
year of the control period for which the NO_X allocations are
being calculated.
(2) The Administrator will allocate NO_X allowances to
the unit in an amount equaling the heat input determined under
paragraph (b)(1) of this section multiplied by the lesser of the unit's
baseline NO_X emissions rate determined under Sec. 97.84(c)
or the most stringent State or federal NO_X emissions
limitation applicable to the unit during the control period, divided by
2,000 lb/ton, and rounded to the nearest whole number of NO_X
allowances as appropriate.
