Final Notice of Data Availability Concerning 2010 CAIR NOX Ozone 
Season Trading Program New Unit Set-Aside Allowance Allocations Under 
the Clean Air Interstate Rule Federal Implementation Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of data availability (NODA).

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

SUMMARY: EPA is administering--under the Clean Air Interstate Rule 
(CAIR) Federal Implementation Plans (FIPs)--the CAIR NOX 
Ozone Season Trading Program (CAIROS) new unit set-aside allowance 
pools for Delaware and the District of Columbia. The CAIROS FIPs 
require the Administrator to determine each year by order the allowance 
allocations from the new unit set-aside for units in these 
jurisdictions whose owners and operators requested these allocations 
and to provide the public with the opportunity to object to the 
allocation determinations. On April 27, 2010, EPA issued a NODA setting 
forth such determinations in the Federal Register and provided an 
opportunity for submission of objections. Through the NODA issued 
today, EPA is making available to the public the Agency's 
determinations, after considering all objections, of CAIROS allowance 
allocations and denials of such allocations under the FIPs, as well as 
the data upon which the allocations and denials of allocations were 
based.

DATES: Under Sec.  97.353(e), EPA must record, by September 1, 2010, 
the CAIROS new unit set-aside allowance allocations, consistent with 
this NODA, in the compliance accounts of units whose owners and 
operators successfully applied for a CAIROS new unit set-aside 
allowance allocation under the CAIR FIPs.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Questions concerning this action 
should be addressed to Robert L. Miller, U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency, CAMD (6204J), 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 
20460, telephone (202) 343-9077, and e-mail [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    For more background and information regarding the purpose of the 
NODA, requirements for requesting and receiving CAIROS new unit set-
aside allowances under the CAIR FIPs, procedures for allocating such 
allowances, the application by EPA of requirements to individual CAIROS 
new unit set-aside allocation requests, and the interpretation the data 
upon which the CAIROS new unit set-aside allocations and denial of 
allocations were based, see the April 27, 2010 NODA (75 FR 22172, April 
27, 2010).
    EPA received no objections to the determinations and data in the 
April 27, 2010 NODA. Therefore, EPA adopts the CAIROS new unit set-
aside allocations set forth in the April 27, 2010 NODA.
    EPA is not requesting objections to the data provided in this final 
NODA. This action constitutes a final action for determining the CAIROS 
new unit set-aside allowance allocations under Sec.  97.342 and the 
CAIR FIPs.
