emissions from fossil fuel-fired
electricity generating units. All affected
sources must hold allowances sufficient
to cover their annual SO2 mass
emissions, and certain coal-fired units
must meet annual average NOX
emission rate limits. Under 40 CFR 77.6,
any source that does not meet these
requirements must pay an excess
emissions penalty without demand to
the EPA Administrator. The automatic
penalty is computed as the number of
excess tons of SO2 or NOX emitted times
a per-ton penalty amount of $2,000
times an annual adjustment factor,
which must be published in the Federal
Register.
The annual adjustment factor used to
compute excess emissions penalties for
compliance year 2023 is 2.377, resulting
in an automatic penalty amount of
$4,754 per excess ton of SO2 or NOX
emitted in 2023. In accordance with 40
CFR 77.6(b) and 72.2, this annual
adjustment factor is determined from
values of the Consumer Price Index for
All Urban Consumers (CPI–U) for
August 1989 and August 2022.
The annual adjustment factor used to
compute excess emissions penalties for
compliance year 2024 is 2.464, resulting
in an automatic penalty amount of
$4,928 per excess ton of SO2 or NOX
emitted in 2024. This annual adjustment
factor is determined from values of the
CPI–U for August 1989 and August
2023.

Cooling Tower Water; Notice of
Availability and Request for Comments
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is announcing the
availability of and soliciting public
comment on a draft guidance document
and proposed method for adding
efficacy claims to antimicrobial
products for use in cooling tower water
to reduce the level of planktonic
Legionella pneumophila. The draft
guidance document describes efficacy
testing for antimicrobial products to
support claims for the reduction of
planktonic L. pneumophila in water
within cooling tower systems and how
to prepare an application for
registration. The proposed method is for
evaluating the efficacy of antimicrobial
products in water of cooling towers
against planktonic L. pneumophila. The
draft guidance does not address
adherent or sessile bacteria that attach
to a surface (e.g., biofilm) of the cooling
tower system or any other
microorganism other than L.
pneumophila which may be found in
the water of cooling tower systems.
DATES: Comments must be received on
