periods and has posted spreadsheets
containing the calculations on EPA’s
website. EPA will consider timely
objections to the preliminary
calculations (including objections
concerning the identification of units
eligible for allocations) before
determining the final amounts of the
first-round allocations.
DATES: Objections to the information
referenced in this notice must be
received on or before June 17, 2020.
ADDRESSES: Submit your objections via
email to CSAPR_NUSA@epa.gov.
Include ‘‘2020 NUSA allocations’’ in the
email subject line and include your
name, title, affiliation, address, phone
number, and email address in the body
of the email.

Questions concerning this action should
be addressed to Jason Kuhns at (202)

Andrew Reighart at (202) 564–0418 or
reighart.andrew@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under
each CSAPR trading program where
EPA is responsible for determining
emission allowance allocations, a
portion of each state’s emissions budget
for the program for each control period
is reserved in a NUSA (and in an
additional Indian country NUSA in the
case of states with Indian country
within their borders) for allocation to
certain units that would not otherwise
receive allowance allocations. The
procedures for identifying the eligible
units for each control period and for
allocating allowances from the NUSAs
and Indian country NUSAs to these
units are set forth in the CSAPR trading
program regulations at 40 CFR 97.411(b)
and 97.412 (NOX Annual), 97.511(b) and
97.512 (NOX Ozone Season Group 1),
97.611(b) and 97.612 (SO2 Group 1),
97.711(b) and 97.712 (SO2 Group 2), and
97.811(b) and 97.812 (NOX Ozone
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.
This notice concerns preliminary
calculations for the first round of NUSA
allowance allocations for the 2020
control periods. Generally, the
allocation procedures call for each
eligible unit to receive a first-round
2020 NUSA allocation equal to its 2019
control period emissions as reported
under 40 CFR part 75 unless the total of
such allocations to all eligible units
would exceed the amount of allowances
in the NUSA, in which case the
allocations are reduced on a pro-rata

basis. EPA notes that, under 40 CFR
97.406(c)(3), 97.506(c)(3), 97.606(c)(3),
97.706(c)(3), and 97.806(c)(3), a unit’s
emissions occuring before its monitor
certification deadline are not considered
to have occurred during a control period
and consequently are not included in
the emission amounts used to determine
NUSA allocations.
The detailed unit-by-unit data and
preliminary allowance allocation
calculations are set forth in Excel
spreadsheets titled ‘‘CSAPR_NUSA_
2020_NOX_Annual_1st_Round_Prelim_
Data’’, ‘‘CSAPR_NUSA_2020_NOX_OS_
1st_Round_Prelim_Data’’, and ‘‘CSAPR_
NUSA_2020_SO2_1st_Round_Prelim_
Data,’’ available on EPA’s website at
https://www.epa.gov/csapr/new-unitset-aside-notices-data-availability-nusanoda-cross-state-air-pollution-rule. Each
of the spreadsheets contains a separate
worksheet for each state covered by that
program showing, for each unit
identified as eligible for a first-round
NUSA allocation, (1) the unit’s
emissions in the 2019 control period
(annual or ozone season as applicable),
(2) the maximum first-round 2020
NUSA allowance allocation for which
the unit is eligible (typically the unit’s
emissions in the 2019 control period),
(3) various adjustments to the unit’s
maximum allocation, many of which are
necessary only if the NUSA pool is
oversubscribed, and (4) the preliminary
calculation of the unit’s first-round 2020
NUSA allowance allocation.
Each state worksheet also contains a
summary showing (1) the quantity of
allowances initially available in that
state’s 2020 NUSA, (2) the sum of the
first-round 2020 NUSA allowance
allocations that will be made to new
units in that state, assuming there are no
corrections to the data, and (3) the
quantity of allowances that would
remain in the 2020 NUSA for use in
second-round allocations to new units
(or ultimately for allocation to existing
units), again assuming there are no
corrections to the data.
Objections should be strictly limited
to the data and calculations upon which
the NUSA allowance allocations are
based and should be emailed to the
address identified in ADDRESSES.
Objections must include: (1) Precise
identification of the specific data and/or
calculations the commenter believes are
inaccurate, (2) new proposed data and/
or calculations upon which the
commenter believes EPA should rely
instead to determine allowance
allocations, and (3) the reasons why
EPA should rely on the commenter’s
proposed data and/or calculations and
not the data referenced in this notice.

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.

Section 0.459 of the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: This collection will
be submitted as an extension after this
60 day comment period in order to
obtain the full three year clearance from
the OMB.
FCC Form 405 is used by the
Experimental Radio Service to apply for
renewal of radio station licenses at the
FCC. Section 307 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, limits the term of radio
licenses to five years and requires that
written applications be submitted for
renewal. The regular license period for
stations in the Experimental Radio
Service is either two or five years.
The information submitted on FCC
Form 405 is used by the Commission
staff to evaluate the applicant/licensee’s
need for a license renewal. In
performing this function, staff performs
analysis of the renewal request as
compared to the original license grant to
ascertain if any changes are requested.
If so, additional analysis is performed to
determine if such changes met the
requirements of the rules of the
Experimental Radio Service for
interference free operation. If needed,
the collected information is used to
coordinate such operation with other
Commission bureaus or other Federal
Agencies. All applications are also
analyzed on their merits regarding
whether they meet the general
requirements for an Experimental
license. These requirements are set out
in 47 CFR part 5.

The Commission rules in 47 CFR part
15, § 15.525 requires operators of the
Ultra-Wideband (UWB) imaging systems

particular area may not commence until
the information has been sent to the
Commission and no prior approval is
required. The information will be used
to coordinate the operation of the UltraWideband transmission systems in
order to avoid interference with
sensitive U.S. government radio
systems. The UWB operators will be
required to provide name, address and
other pertinent contact information of
the user, the desired geographical area
of operation, and the FCC ID number,
and other nomenclature of the UWB
device. This information will be
collected by the Commission and
forwarded to the National
Telecommunications and Information

Department of Commerce. This
information collection is essential to
controlling potential interference to
Federal radio communications. Since
initial operation in a particular area

licenses to five years and requires that written applications be
submitted for renewal. The regular license period for stations in the
Experimental Radio Service is either two or five years.
The information submitted on FCC Form 405 is used by the Commission
staff to evaluate the applicant/licensee's need for a license renewal.
In performing this function, staff performs analysis of the renewal
request as compared to the original license grant to ascertain if any
changes are requested. If so, additional analysis is performed to
determine if such changes met the requirements of the rules of the
Experimental Radio Service for interference free operation. If needed,
the collected information is used to coordinate such operation with
other Commission bureaus or other Federal Agencies. All applications
are also analyzed on their merits regarding whether they meet the
general requirements for an Experimental license. These requirements
