The allocation tables also included inventories of heat input and inventories of potentially exempt units. In addition, EPA also placed in the docket a Technical Support Document describing the allocation table data fields. The EPA originally provided a 30-day period for the unit owners, unit operators, and the public to submit objections regarding individual units’ treatment as potentially covered or not covered by CAIR and, for units treated as potential CAIR units, the data used in the allocation calculations and the allocations resulting from such calculations. In response to a request from the American Forest and Paper Association, EPA extended the period for all objections an additional 30 days to October 5, 2006. In requesting an additional extension of the period, certain biomass cogeneration unit owners have noted the unique nature of the fuels utilized by biomass cogeneration units and the difficulties encountered in collecting data necessary to apply the efficiency standard to this type of cogeneration unit. In light of these circumstances, the EPA is extending the period an additional 90 days only for objections (including data) related to any biomass cogeneration units. For all other objections, the deadline will remain October 5, 2006. EPA believes the addition of 90 days will provide the Agency time to evaluate and, if appropriate, address the concerns raised about application of the efficiency standard to biomass cogeneration units. Since this process may affect the amount and type of data that may need to be submitted concerning biomass cogeneration units, EPA is extending the period for objections related to this type of cogeneration unit.

Extension of Period for Objections

    In the August 4, 2006 NODA (71 FR 44283), EPA provided notice that 
it had placed in the CAIR FIP docket allocation tables for EGU 
NOX annual and EGU NOX ozone season allocations 
for control periods 2009-2014. The allocation tables also included 
inventories of heat input and inventories of potentially exempt units. 
In addition, EPA also placed in the docket a Technical Support Document 
describing the allocation table data fields.
    The EPA originally provided a 30-day period for the unit owners, 
unit operators, and the public to submit objections regarding 
individual units' treatment as potentially covered or not covered by 
CAIR and, for units treated as potential CAIR units, the data used in 
the allocation calculations and the allocations resulting from such 
calculations. In response to a request from the American Forest and 
Paper Association, EPA extended the period for all objections an 
additional 30 days to October 5, 2006.
    In requesting an additional extension of the period, certain 
biomass cogeneration unit owners have noted the unique nature of the 
fuels utilized by biomass cogeneration units and the difficulties 
encountered in collecting data necessary to apply the efficiency 
standard to this type of cogeneration unit. In light of these 
circumstances, the EPA is extending the period an additional 90 days 
only for objections (including data) related to any biomass 
cogeneration units. For all other objections, the deadline will remain 
October 5, 2006. EPA believes the addition of 90 days will provide the 
Agency time to evaluate and, if appropriate, address the concerns 
raised about application of the efficiency standard to biomass 
cogeneration units. Since this process may affect the amount and type 
of data that may need to be submitted concerning biomass cogeneration 
units, EPA is extending the period for objections related to this type 
of cogeneration unit.
