Clean Air Interstate Rule; Proposed 2015 Annual and Ozone Season CAIR Nitrogen Oxides Allowance Allocations and Redistribution of 2010-2014 Allowances for Certain Facilities
[41 Pa.B. 1389]
[Saturday, March 12, 2011]In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 145.211(d) and 145.221(d) (relating to timing requirements for CAIR NOx allowance allocations; and timing requirements for CAIR NOx Ozone Season allowance allocations), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is providing notice and an opportunity to comment on the proposed 2015 annual and ozone season Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) nitrogen oxides (NOx) allowance allocations. The Commonwealth's NOx budget for the annual CAIR program contains 82,514 NOx allowances; 81,441 NOx allowances are proposed for allocation. The remaining 1,073 (1.3% of the annual CAIR program budget) NOx allowances are set aside for future allocation in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 145.212(f)(2) (relating to CAIR NOx allowance allocations). The Commonwealth's NOx budget for the ozone season CAIR program contains 35,143 NOx allowances, all of which are in the proposed allocations.
The Department is also proposing to redistribute 473 allowances as follows: 268 annual NOx allowances and 205 ozone season NOx allocations. These allowances were originally allocated to FPL Energy for 2010 through 2014, for FPL's MH50 unit, but the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has since determined that MH50 is not subject to CAIR. The Department is proposing to allocate the NOx allowances returned to the Department to the existing CAIR units for 2010 through 2014.
The EPA returned 486 allowances to the Department for the FLP MH50 unit. The Department is proposing to reduce this amount by 13 to remedy an over-allocation of the State budget of 4 CAIR NOx ozone season allowances for 2012 and 9 CAIR NOx ozone season allowances for 2013.
For each CAIR unit and qualifying resource receiving a NOx allocation, Tables 1 and 2 list the following: the Facility Name, ORIS Code, the Unit ID for each CAIR unit, either the gross loading or steam loading depending on type of unit, county, converted heat input from the base year and 2015 allowance allocation.
Table 3 lists each CAIR unit and qualifying resource that is being allocated NOx allowances from those returned to the Department due to the change in the FPL MH50 unit's CAIR status.
Action at the Federal or State level could affect these allocations, once final. Annual and ozone season CAIR NOx allowances do not constitute property rights.
Written Comments
Written comments on the proposed annual and ozone season CAIR NOx allowance allocations for 2014 should be sent to the attention of Randy Bordner, Environmental Group Manager, Air Resource Management Division, Bureau of Air Quality, DEP, P. O. Box 8468, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8468 or ranbordner@state.pa.us no later than March 28, 2011. Any written comments (including e-mails) should include the name, affiliation (if any), mailing address and telephone number of the interested person and contain ''Proposed 2015 Annual and Ozone Season CAIR Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) Allowance Allocations'' in the subject line.
Questions concerning this notice should be directed to Randy Bordner at (717) 772-3921. TDD users may contact the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 to discuss how the Department can best accommodate their needs.
