40 CFR § 97.411 - Timing requirements for CSAPR NOX Annual allowance allocations.
(a) Existing units.
(1) CSAPR NOX Annual allowances are allocated, for the control periods in 2015 and each year thereafter, as provided in a notice of data availability issued by the Administrator. Providing an allocation to a unit in such notice does not constitute a determination that the unit is a CSAPR NOX Annual unit, and not providing an allocation to a unit in such notice does not constitute a determination that the unit is not a CSAPR NOX Annual unit.
(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (a)(1) of this section, if a unit provided an allocation in the notice of data availability issued under paragraph (a)(1) of this section does not operate, starting after 2014, during the control period in two consecutive years, such unit will not be allocated the CSAPR NOX Annual allowances provided in such notice for the unit for the control periods in the fifth year after the first such year and in each year after that fifth year. All CSAPR NOX Annual allowances that would otherwise have been allocated to such unit will be allocated to the new unit set-aside for the State where such unit is located and for the respective years involved. If such unit resumes operation, the Administrator will allocate CSAPR NOX Annual allowances to the unit in accordance with paragraph (b) of this section.
(b) New units—(1) New unit set-asides. (i)(A) By June 1 of each year from 2015 through 2020, the Administrator will calculate the CSAPR NOX Annual allowance allocation to each CSAPR NOX Annual unit in a State and areas of Indian country within the borders of the State subject to the State's SIP authority, in accordance with § 97.412(a)(2) through (7) and (12) and §§ 97.406(b)(2) and 97.430 through 97.435, for the control period in the year of the applicable calculation deadline under this paragraph and will promulgate a notice of data availability of the results of the calculations.
(B) By March 1, 2022 and March 1 of each year thereafter, the Administrator will calculate the CSAPR NOX Annual allowance allocation to each CSAPR NOX Annual unit in a State and areas of Indian country within the borders of the State subject to the State's SIP authority, in accordance with § 97.412(a)(2) through (7), (10), and (12) and §§ 97.406(b)(2) and 97.430 through 97.435, for the control period in the year before the year of the applicable calculation deadline under this paragraph and will promulgate a notice of data availability of the results of the calculations.
(ii) For each notice of data availability required in paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section, the Administrator will provide an opportunity for submission of objections to the calculations referenced in such notice.
(A) Objections shall be submitted by the deadline specified in each notice of data availability required in paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section and shall be limited to addressing whether the calculations (including the identification of the CSAPR NOX Annual units) are in accordance with the provisions referenced in paragraph (b)(1)(i)(A) or (B) of this section, as applicable.
(B) The Administrator will adjust the calculations to the extent necessary to ensure that they are in accordance with the provisions referenced in paragraph (b)(1)(i)(A) or (B) of this section, as applicable. By August 1 immediately after the promulgation of each notice of data availability required in paragraph (b)(1)(i)(A) of this section, or by May 1 immediately after the promulgation of each notice of data availability required in paragraph (b)(1)(i)(B) of this section, the Administrator will promulgate a notice of data availability of the results of the calculations incorporating any adjustments that the Administrator determines to be necessary and the reasons for accepting or rejecting any objections submitted in accordance with paragraph (b)(1)(ii)(A) of this section.
(iii) If the new unit set-aside for a control period before 2021 contains any CSAPR NOX Annual allowances that have not been allocated in the applicable notice of data availability required in paragraph (b)(1)(ii) of this section, the Administrator will promulgate, by December 15 immediately after such notice, a notice of data availability that identifies any CSAPR NOX Annual units that commenced commercial operation during the period starting January 1 of the year before the year of such control period and ending November 30 of the year of such control period.

(c) Units incorrectly allocated CSAPR NOXAnnual allowances.
(1) For each control period in 2015 and thereafter, if the Administrator determines that CSAPR NOX Annual allowances were allocated under paragraph (a) of this section, or under a provision of a SIP revision approved under § 52.38(a)(3), (4), or (5) of this chapter, where such control period and the recipient are covered by the provisions of paragraph (c)(1)(i) of this section or were allocated under § 97.412(a)(2) through (7), (9), and (12) and (b)(2) through (7), (9), and (12), or under a provision of a SIP revision approved under § 52.38(a)(4) or (5) of this chapter, where such control period and the recipient are covered by the provisions of paragraph (c)(1)(ii) of this section, then the Administrator will notify the designated representative of the recipient and will act in accordance with the procedures set forth in paragraphs (c)(2) through (5) of this section:
(i)
(A) The recipient is not actually a CSAPR NOX Annual unit under § 97.404 as of January 1, 2015 and is allocated CSAPR NOX Annual allowances for such control period or, in the case of an allocation under a provision of a SIP revision approved under § 52.38(a)(3), (4), or (5) of this chapter, the recipient is not actually a CSAPR NOX Annual unit as of January 1, 2015 and is allocated CSAPR NOX Annual allowances for such control period that the SIP revision provides should be allocated only to recipients that are CSAPR NOX Annual units as of January 1, 2015; or
(B) The recipient is not located as of January 1 of the control period in the State from whose NOX Annual trading budget the CSAPR NOX Annual allowances allocated under paragraph (a) of this section, or under a provision of a SIP revision approved under § 52.38(a)(3), (4), or (5) of this chapter, were allocated for such control period.
(ii) The recipient is not actually a CSAPR NOX Annual unit under § 97.404 as of January 1 of such control period and is allocated CSAPR NOX Annual allowances for such control period or, in the case of an allocation under a provision of a SIP revision approved under § 52.38(a)(4) or (5) of this chapter, the recipient is not actually a CSAPR NOX Annual unit as of January 1 of such control period and is allocated CSAPR NOX Annual allowances for such control period that the SIP revision provides should be allocated only to recipients that are CSAPR NOX Annual units as of January 1 of such control period.
(2) Except as provided in paragraph (c)(3) or (4) of this section, the Administrator will not record such CSAPR NOX Annual allowances under § 97.421.
(3) If the Administrator already recorded such CSAPR NOX Annual allowances under § 97.421 and if the Administrator makes the determination under paragraph (c)(1) of this section before making deductions for the source that includes such recipient under § 97.424(b) for such control period, then the Administrator will deduct from the account in which such CSAPR NOX Annual allowances were recorded an amount of CSAPR NOX Annual allowances allocated for the same or a prior control period equal to the amount of such already recorded CSAPR NOX Annual allowances. The authorized account representative shall ensure that there are sufficient CSAPR NOX Annual allowances in such account for completion of the deduction.
(4) If the Administrator already recorded such CSAPR NOX Annual allowances under § 97.421 and if the Administrator makes the determination under paragraph (c)(1) of this section after making deductions for the source that includes such recipient under § 97.424(b) for such control period, then the Administrator will not make any deduction to take account of such already recorded CSAPR NOX Annual allowances.
(5)
(i) With regard to the CSAPR NOX Annual allowances that are not recorded, or that are deducted as an incorrect allocation, in accordance with paragraphs (c)(2) and (3) of this section for a recipient under paragraph (c)(1)(i) of this section, the Administrator will:
