Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 29 / Wednesday, February 12, 2020 / Notices Season Group 2). Each NUSA allowance allocation process involves up to two rounds of allocations to eligible units, termed ‘‘new’’ units, followed by the allocation to ‘‘existing’’ units of any allowances not allocated to new units. In a notice of data availability (NODA) published in the Federal Register on December 9, 2019 (84 FR 67265), EPA provided notice of the preliminary identification of units eligible to receive second-round NUSA allocations for the 2019 control periods and described the process for submitting any objections. EPA received no objections in response to the December 9, 2019 NODA. This NODA provides notice of EPA’s calculations of the amounts of the second-round 2019 NUSA allocations to the previously identified eligible new units and the allocations of the remaining allowances to existing units. The detailed unit-by-unit data and final allowance allocation calculations are set forth in Excel spreadsheets titled ‘‘CSAPR_NUSA_2019_NOx_Annual_ 2nd_Round_Final_Data_New_Units,’’ ‘‘CSAPR_NUSA_2019_NOx_OS_2nd_ Round_Final_Data_New_Units,’’ ‘‘CSAPR_NUSA_2019_SO2_2nd_ Round_Final_Data_New_Units,’’ ‘‘CSAPR_NUSA_2019_NOx_Annual_ 2nd_Round_Final_Data_Existing_ Units,’’ ‘‘CSAPR_NUSA_2019_NOx_ OS_2nd_Round_Final_Data_Existing_ Units,’’ and ‘‘CSAPR_NUSA_2019_SO2_ 2nd_Round_Final_Data_Existing_ Units’’, available on EPA’s website at https://www.epa.gov/csapr/csaprcompliance-year-2019-nusa-nodas. 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. EPA also notes 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. lotter on DSKBCFDHB2PROD with NOTICES (Authority: 40 CFR 97.411(b), 97.511(b), 97.611(b), 97.711(b), and 97.811(b).)
