    EPA is not requesting responses to the data made available through 
this NODA, which makes available data on allowance allocations 
finalized in the Transport Rule. Providing an allocation to an existing 
unit does not constitute a determination that the unit is a covered 
unit, and not providing an existing-unit allocation to a unit does not 
constitute a determination that the unit is not a covered unit. See 
Sec. Sec.  97.411(a)(1), 97.511(a)(1), 97.611(a)(1), and 97.711(a)(1) 
of the Transport Rule.
    Under the Transport Rule FIPs, EPA must record allowance 
allocations by certain deadlines. In particular, allowance allocations 
addressed by this NODA for existing units for 2012 must be recorded, 
within 90 days of the publication of the Transport Rule in the Federal 
Register, in the compliance accounts of existing units. See Sec. Sec.  
97.421(a), 97.521(a), 97.621(a), and 97.721(a) of the Transport Rule.
    For 2013 and beyond, the Administrator must record, by certain 
specified deadlines, allowance allocations for existing units. See

through (f), and 97.721(b) through (f) of the Transport Rule.
    Under certain circumstances, the allowance allocations addressed in 
this NODA to existing units are subject to termination or correction, 
and the provisions establishing these allocations may be replaced by a 
SIP revision. See Sec. Sec.  97.411(a)(2), 97.511(a)(2), 97.611(a)(2), 
and 97.711(a)(2) (concerning termination of allocations of non-
operating units) and 97.411(c), 97.511(c), 97.611(c), and 97.711(c)
