EPA has completed final calculations for the second round of allocations of allowances from the CSAPR new unit set-asides NUSAs for the 2020 control periods and has posted spreadsheets containing the calculations on EPAs website. EPA has also completed calculations for allocations of the remaining 2020 NUSA allowances to existing units and has posted spreadsheets containing those calculations on EPAs website as well.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Questions concerning this action should be addressed to Jason Kuhns at 202

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under each CSAPR trading program where EPA is responsible for determining emission allowance allocations, a portion of each states 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 97.411b and 97.412 NOX Annual, 97.511b and 97.512 NOX Ozone Season Group 1, 97.611b and 97.612 SO2 Group 1, 97.711b and 97.712 SO2 Group 2, and 97.811b 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.

In a notice of data availability NODA
published in the Federal Register on December 21, 2020 85 FR 83078, EPA
provided notice of the preliminary identification of units eligible to receive second-round NUSA allocations for the 2020 control periods and described the process for submitting any objections.
EPA received no objections in response to the December 21, 2020 NODA. This NODA provides notice of EPAs calculations of the amounts of the second-round 2020 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_2020_NOX_Annual_

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 97.411c, 97.511c, 97.611c, 97.711c, and 97.811c, 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 97.411b, 97.511b, 97.611b, 97.711b, and 97.811b.

Notice of data availability.

This Notice of Data Availability is to alert stakeholders of information from the Environmental Protection Agency regarding hydrofluorocarbon consumption and production in the United States for the years 2011, 2012, and 2013 and solicit stakeholder input. The Agency is providing this information in preparation for upcoming regulatory actions under the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act of 2020, included in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021. Among other provisions, the Act directs the Environmental Protection Agency to develop production and consumption baselines and to phase down hydrofluorocarbon production and consumption relative to those baselines.
This notice provides information related to total annual hydrofluorocarbon production and consumption between 2011 and 2013 reported to the Environmental Protection Agencys Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program as of March 30, 2020, which was the last reporting deadline for reporting year 2019 data. The notice identifies possible data gaps and requests comment on areas where additional information could improve the Agencys data on hydrofluorocarbon consumption and production in the United States for those three years. This notice also provides the Agencys initial information on hydrofluorocarbon use in applications that would receive mandatory allocations under the Act.
DATES: The Environmental Protection Agency EPA is interested in receiving comments on the data in this notice of data availability NODA to inform the Agencys regulatory process.
