WCCF units U1 and U2 are fossil fuelfired combustion turbines that began
operating in 2005. According to MG&E,
through 2015 the units qualified for an
exemption from CSAPR applicability
that is available to certain cogeneration
units, but during 2016 the units no
longer met the full set of qualifying
conditions for the exemption. Applying
the CSAPR definitions and applicability
criteria, MG&E concluded that the units
would become CSAPR-affected units as
of January 1, 2017 and would be
deemed to ‘‘commence commercial
operation’’ for CSAPR purposes as of
that same date.1 These conclusions in
turn indicated a deadline of June 30,
2017 (i.e., 180 calendar days after the
units’ deemed date of commencement of
commercial operation) for MG&E to
certify monitoring systems and to begin
monitoring the units’ emissions.2 MG&E
is required to hold allowances sufficient
to cover the units’ reported emissions
occurring on and after the units’
monitor certification deadline.3
Under the CSAPR regulations, a
newly affected unit is treated as a
‘‘new’’ unit potentially eligible to
receive first-round and/or second-round
NUSA allocations. As relevant here, a
newly affected unit is generally eligible
to receive second-round NUSA
allocations with respect to its reported
emissions occurring on and after its
monitor certification deadline in the
calendar year in which the unit is
deemed to have commenced
commercial operation for CSAPR
purposes and in the following calendar
year.4 EPA did not initially identify
WCCF units U1 and U2 as eligible for
second-round 2017 NUSA allocations
because the monitoring plan MG&E
submitted to us for the units included
an April 26, 2005 date of
commencement of commercial
operation, reflecting the units’ actual
operating history, rather than the
January 1, 2017 deemed date of
commencement of commercial
operation for CSAPR purposes. Based
on the additional information provided
by MG&E described above, we are now
using the January 1, 2017 deemed date
of commencement of commercial
operation to evaluate the units’
eligibility, and we consequently have
included the units when calculating the
second-round 2017 NUSA allocations.
The final unit-by-unit data and
allowance allocation calculations are set
forth in Excel spreadsheets titled
1 See, e.g., 40 CFR 97.404(b)(1)(ii) and 97.402
(definition of ‘‘commence commercial operation’’).
2 See, e.g., 40 CFR 97.430(b).
3 See, e.g., 40 CFR 97.406(c)(3)(i).
4 See, e.g., 40 CFR 97.412(a)(9).

EPA notes that an allocation or lack
of allocation of allowances to a given
unit does not constitute a determination
that CSAPR does or does not apply to
the unit. We also note that under 40
CFR 97.411(c), 97.511(c), 97.611(c),
97.711(c), and 97.811(c), allocations are
subject to potential correction if a unit
to which allowances have been
allocated for a given control period is
not actually an affected unit as of the
start of that control period.
Authority: 40 CFR 97.411(b), 97.511(b),
97.611(b), 97.711(b), and 97.811(b).
