NOx Budget Trading Program; New Source Set-Aside 2007 NOx Allocations

[37 Pa.B. 1456]
[Saturday, March 31, 2007]

   Under 25 Pa. Code § 145.41(d) (relating to timing requirements for NOx allowance allocations), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is publishing the NOx allowance allocations from the new source set-aside for the 2007 control period (May 1, 2007, through September 30, 2007). The new source set-aside contains 2,542 NOx allowances, 1,920 of which are available for new sources after allocation corrections. For each NOx budget unit, Table 1 lists: 1) the NOx allowances applied for under the ''request'' column; 2) the maximum potential number of NOx allowances authorized by the regulation under the ''maximum'' column; and 3) the final, pro rata NOx allocation under the ''allocation'' column.

   New source operators are advised that this allocation is for one control period only. To receive NOx allocations from the new source set-aside for future control periods, source operators must submit new requests to the Department by January 1 each year.

   Notice of the proposed NOx allowance allocations from the new source set-aside for the 2007 control period, including a request for comment, was published at 37 Pa.B. 850 (February 17, 2007). The Department did not receive comments during the 15-day public comment period that concluded on March 5, 2007.

   Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal, under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514) and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501--508 and 701--704 (relating to the Administrative Agency Law), to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users may contact the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) through the Pennsylvania Relay Service at (800) 654-5984. Appeals must be filed with the Board within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, unless the appropriate statute provides a different time period. Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure may be obtained from the Board. The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create any right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decision law.

   For individuals who wish to challenge an action, appeals must reach the Board within 30 days of the publication of this notice. A lawyer is not needed to file an appeal with the Board.

   Important legal rights are at stake, however, so individuals should show this notice to a lawyer at once. Persons who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for free pro bono representation. The Secretary to the Board should be contacted at (717) 787-3483 for additional information.

   Questions concerning this notice should be directed to Jane Mahinske, Bureau of Air Quality, Division of Air Resource Management, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8468, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8468, (717) 783-8949, jmahinske@state.pa.us.
