ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL-9194-6]
Final Notice of Data Availability Concerning 2010 CAIR
NOX Annual Trading Program New Unit Set-Aside Allowance
Allocations Under the Clean Air Interstate Rule Federal Implementation
Plan
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of data availability (NODA).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is administering--under the Clean Air Interstate Rule
(CAIR) Federal Implementation Plans (FIPs)--the CAIR NOX
Annual Trading Program (CAIRNOX) new unit set-aside allowance pools for
Delaware and the District of Columbia. The CAIRNOX FIPs require the
Administrator to determine each year by order the allowance allocations
from the new unit set-aside for units in these jurisdictions whose
owners and operators requested these allocations and to provide the
public with the opportunity to object to the allocation determinations.
On June 29, 2010, EPA issued a NODA setting forth such determinations
for 2010 in the Federal Register and provided an opportunity for
submission of objections. Through the NODA issued today, EPA is making
available to the public the Agency's determinations, after considering
all objections, of CAIRNOX allowance allocations and denials of such
allocations for 2010 under the FIPs, as well as the data upon which the
allocations and denials of allocations were based.
DATES: Under Sec. 97.153(e), EPA must record, by December 1, 2010, the
CAIRNOX new unit set-aside allowance allocations, consistent with this
NODA, in the compliance accounts of units whose owners and operators
successfully applied for a CAIRNOX new unit set-aside allowance
allocation under the CAIR FIPs. See 40 CFR 97.153(e).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Questions concerning this action
should be addressed to Robert L. Miller, U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, CAMD (6204J), 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC
20460, telephone (202) 343-9077, and e-mail [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For more background and information
regarding the purpose of the NODA, requirements for requesting and
receiving CAIRNOX new unit set-aside allowances under the CAIR FIPs,
procedures for allocating such allowances, application of requirements
to individual CAIRNOX new unit set-aside allocation requests, and
interpretation of the data upon which the CAIRNOX new unit set-aside
allocations for 2010 and denials of allocations were based, see the
June 29, 2010 NODA (75 Fed. Reg. 37433, June 29, 2010).
EPA received no objections to the determinations and data in the
June 29, 2010 NODA. Therefore, EPA adopts the CAIRNOX new unit set-
aside allocations set forth in the June 29, 2010 NODA.
EPA is not requesting objections to the data provided in this final
NODA. This action constitutes a final action for determining the
CAIRNOX new unit set-aside allowance allocations under Sec. 97.142 and
the CAIR FIPs for 2010.
