(a) For each control period in 2021 and thereafter, the department shall allocate to all new units, a total amount of allowances in the new unit set-aside as listed in section 2(b) of this rule.(b) The department must determine for each new unit an allocation of allowances for the later of the following control periods and for each subsequent control period: (1) The control period starting in 2021.(2) The first full control period after the unit commences commercial operation.(3) For a unit misallocated allowances under 40 CFR 97.811(c) *, as added by 81 FR 74633, the first control period in which the unit operates in Indiana after operating in another jurisdiction and the unit must not already have been allocated one (1) or more allowances.(4) For a unit that received no allowances as described in section 5(c) of this rule that resumes operation, the first full control period after the unit resumes operation.(c) The allocation to each unit for each control period must be an amount equal to the unit's total tons of NOx emissions during the immediately preceding control period. The department may adjust the allocations as follows: (1) If the amount of allowances in the new unit set-aside for a control period is greater than or equal to the sum of the preceding control period emissions, then the department shall allocate the amount equal to the unit's total tons of NOx emissions during the immediately preceding control period.(2) If the amount of allowances in the new unit set-aside for a control period is less than the sum of the preceding control period emissions, then the department shall allocate to each unit an amount equal to the unit's tons of NOx emissions during the immediately preceding control period for the unit, multiplied by the amount of allowances in the new unit set-aside for the control period, divided by the sum of the preceding control period emissions, rounded to the nearest whole allowance.(d) The department shall notify each CSAPR designated representative of the amount of allowances allocated under this section. *This document is incorporated by reference.
