Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) Allowance Program

[29 Pa.B. 2820]

Award of Bonus NOx Allowances in accordance
with 25 Pa. Code § 123.119

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 123.119 has awarded bonus NOx allowances as indicated below. The purpose of the provisions is to promote early reductions below both the sources' baseline operating rates and the program's budgeted reductions. In order to qualify, source operators had to control emissions below existing emission limitations as well as below emission rates established by applying the Nitrogen Oxide Allowance Program control requirements to the emission rates contained in Appendix E to the regulation. The provisions required the operator to collect emission data demonstrating the reductions and to submit the data with a request for bonus allowances to the Department by November 1, 1998.

   Any person aggrieved by this action may appeal, under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514) and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501--504 and 701--708 (relating to the Administrative Agency Law) to the Environmental Hearing Board, P. O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users may contact the Board through the Pennsylvania Relay Service (800) 654-5984.

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 statues and decisional law.
