Federal NOX Budget Trading Program; Applicability 
Determination

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of applicability determination under Federal 
NOX Budget Trading Program.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA established 40 CFR part 97, the Federal NOX 
Budget Trading Program (``the Program''), to reduce interstate 
transport of ozone under section 126 of the Clean Air Act (``section 
126''). The Program applies to existing or new large electric 
generating units (``EGU's'') and large non-EGU's (as defined at 40 CFR 
52.34) in states subject to section 126. EPA finds, in an applicability 
determination dated October 24, 2001, that Point B015 at Marathon 
Ashland Petroleum LLC's Plant 1576000301 in Ohio is not subject to the 
Program because it is not an EGU, since it does not serve a generator, 
nor is it a non-EGU, since it has less than 250 (166) mmBtu/hr maximum 
design heat input. Further, it is not a `` NOX Budget unit'' 
as defined at 40 CFR 97.2. Since Point B015 is not subject to the 
Program, NOX allowances will not be allocated for this unit 
in EPA's NOX Allowance Tracking System.

DATES: Any comments regarding this applicability determination must be 
submitted in writing to EPA at the address below no later than November 
30, 2001.

ADDRESSES: U.S. EPA, Clean Air Markets Division (6204N), Attn: Robert 
Miller, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington DC, 20460.
