Severability
If any Section, subsection or clause of this Subpart is found invalid, such finding shall not affect the validity of this
Subpart as a whole or any Section, sentence or clause not found invalid.
(Source: Added at _______ Ill. Reg._______________, effective________________)
Section 217.654
Applicability
a)
This Subpart applies to any fossil fuel-fired stationary boiler, combustion turbine, or combined
cycle system, with a maximum design heat input greater than 250 mmbtu/hr and that is:
1)
A unit listed on Appendix E of this Subpart, or
2)
A unit not listed on Appendix E of this Subpart that:
A)
At no time serves a generator producing electricity for sale; or
B)
At any time serves a generator producing electricity for sale, if such generator
has a nameplate capacity of 25 MWe or less and has the potential to use no more
than 50% of the potential electrical output capacity of the unit. Fifty percent
(50%) of a unit’s potential electrical output capacity shall be determined by
multiplying the unit’s maximum design heat input by 0.0488 MWe/mmbtu. If
the size of the generator is smaller than this calculated number, the unit is
subject to the provisions of this Subpart, but if the size of the generator is greater
than this calculated number, the unit is subject to the provisions of Subpart W of
this Part; or
C)
Is part of any source, as that term is defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code Section
211.6135, listed on Appendix E of this Part.
b)
Those units that meet the above criteria and are subject to the NO
x
Trading Program
emissions limitations contained in this Subpart are budget units.
c)
Low-emitter status: Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this Section, the owner or
operator of a budget unit subject to the requirements of subsection (a) of this
Section may elect low-emitter status by obtaining a permit with federally
enforceable conditions that meet the requirements of subsection (c)(1) of this
Section. Starting with the effective date of such permit, the unit shall be subject
only to the requirements of this subsection.
1)
For each control period the owner or operator elects low emitter status, the
federally enforceable permit conditions must:
A)
Restrict the unit to burning only natural gas, fuel oil, or natural gas
and fuel oil;
B)
Limit the unit's potential NO
x
mass emissions for the control period
to 25 tons or less;
17
C)
Restrict the unit's operating hours to the number calculated by
dividing 25 tons of potential NO
x
mass emissions by the unit's
maximum potential hourly NO
x
mass emissions;
D)
Require that the unit's potential NO
x
mass emissions shall be calculated by using
the monitoring provisions of 40 CFR 75, or if the unit does not rely on these
monitoring provisions, by using the applicable default rate as follows:
i)
Select the applicable default NO
x
emission rate:
0.7 lb/mmbtu for combustion turbines burning natural gas
exclusively during the control period;
1.2 lbs/mmbtu for combustion turbines burning any fuel oil
during the control period;
1.5 lbs/mmbtu for boilers burning natural gas exclusively
during the control period; or
2 lbs/mmbtu for boilers burning any fuel oil during the
control period.
ii)
Multiply the default NO
x
emission rate under subsection
(c)(1)(D)(i) of this Section by the unit's maximum rated
hourly heat input which is the higher of the manufacturer’s
maximum rated hourly heat input or the highest observed
hourly heat input. The owner or operator of the unit may
request in the permit application required by this subsection
that the Agency use a lower value for the unit's maximum
rated hourly heat input. The Agency may approve such
lower value if the owner or operator demonstrates that the
maximum hourly heat input specified by the manufacturer or
the highest observed hourly heat input, or both, are not
representative. The owner or operator must demonstrate that
such lower value is representative of the unit's current
capabilities because modifications have been made to the
unit that permanently limit the unit’s capacity.
E)
Require that for five years at the source that includes the unit,
records demonstrating that the operating hours restriction, the fuel
use restriction and the other requirements of the permit related to
these restrictions were met; and
F)
Require that the owner or operator of the unit report during each
control period to the Agency the unit's hours of operation (treating
any partial hour of operation as a whole hour of operation), heat
input and fuel use by type. This report shall be submitted by
November 1 of each year the unit elects low-emitter status.
18
2)
The Agency will notify the USEPA in writing of each unit electing low-
emitter status pursuant to the requirements of subsection (c)(1) of this
Section and when any of the following occurs:
A)
The permit with federally enforceable conditions that includes the
restrictions in subsection (c)(1) of this Section is issued by the
Agency;
B)
Such permit is revised to remove any such restriction;
C)
Such permit includes any such restriction that is no longer
applicable; or
D)
The unit does not comply with any such restriction.
3)
The unit shall become subject to the requirements of this Subpart if, for any
control period under subsection (c) of this Section, the fuel use restriction
or the operating hours restriction under subsection (c)(1) of this Section is
removed from the unit's permit or otherwise is no longer applicable, or the
unit does not comply with the fuel use restriction or the operating hours
restriction under subsection (c)(1) of this Section. Such unit shall be
treated as commencing operation on September 30 of the control period for
which the fuel use restriction or the operating hours restriction is no longer
applicable or during which the unit does not comply with the fuel use
restriction or the operating hours restriction.
4)
The owner or operator of a unit to which the Agency has ever allocated
allowances under Appendix E of this Part may elect low-emitter status. In
that case, the Agency will reduce the Subpart U NO
x
budget by the number
of allowances corresponding to the amount of NO
x
emissions the unit is
permitted to emit during the control period, pursuant to a federally
enforceable condition in the unit’s permit. The owner or operator of a unit
electing low-emitter status may demonstrate that it holds sufficient
allowances to cover the unit’s NO
x
emissions by offsetting the emissions
from such unit, not to exceed its permitted emission limit as included in its
federally enforceable permit, with allowances issued for voluntary NO
x
reductions meeting the requirements of Subpart X of this Part. The Agency
will not reduce the Subpart U NO
x
budget by the allowances issued for NO
x
reductions obtained in accordance with Subpart X of this Part.
d)
The owner or operator of any budget unit not listed in Appendix E of this Part but is
subject to this Subpart shall not receive an allocation of NO
x
allowances from the
Subpart U NO
x
Trading Budget, except for any allowance from the new source set
aside in accordance with Section 217.668 of this Subpart, or receive any allocation
from the Subpart W NO
x
Trading Budget, but must acquire NO
x
allowances in an
19
amount not less than the NO
x
emissions from such budget unit during the control
period (rounded to the nearest whole ton) in accordance with the federal NO
x
Trading Program, Subpart X of this Part or pursuant to a permanent transfer of NO
x
allocations pursuant to Section 217.662(b) of this Subpart.
e)
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Subpart, a source and units at the
source subject to the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section will become
subject to this Subpart on THE FIRST DAY OF THE CONTROL SEASON
SUBSEQUENT TO THE CALENDAR YEAR IN WHICH ALL OF THE OTHER
STATES SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE NO

reference in Section 217.104 of this Part. To the extent that this Subpart contains
provisions which are inconsistent with any provisions of 40 CFR 96, the owner or
operator of budget units subject to this Subpart shall comply with the provisions of
this Subpart in lieu of those provisions which were incorporated by reference.
b)
Permit requirements:
1)
The owner or operator of each source with one or more budget units at the
source subject to this Subpart must submit a complete permit application for
a budget permit in accordance with the provisions of Section
217.658(a)(4), (a)(5) or (a)(6), as applicable, to be issued by the Agency
with federally enforceable conditions covering the NO
x
Trading Program
(“budget permit”), and that complies with the requirements of Section
217.658 of this Subpart.
2)
The owner or operator of one or more budget units subject to this Subpart
must operate each such budget unit in compliance with such budget permit
or complete budget permit application, as applicable.
3)
The owner or operator of one or more budget units subject to this Subpart,
at the time of filing an application for a permit under this Section, must
20
either obtain a permit incorporating a source-wide overdraft account (as
such term is defined in 40 CFR 96.2), or a permit incorporating unit
specific compliance accounts for each budget unit at the source subject to
this Subpart. Such election shall be at the sole discretion of the owner or
operator of the source and the Agency shall incorporate such election into a
permit issued to the source pursuant to this Subpart.
c)
Monitoring requirements:
1)
For budget units subject to the requirements of this Subpart, and which
commence operation on and after January 1, 2000, the owner or operator of
each such budget unit at the source must comply with the monitoring
requirements of 40 CFR 96, subpart H. The account representative of each
such budget unit at the source shall comply with those sections of the
monitoring requirements of 40 CFR 96, subpart H, applicable to an account
representative.
2)
The compliance of each budget unit subject to the requirements of
subsection (c)(1) or subsection (c)(3)(A) of this Section with the control
period NO
x
emissions limitation under subsection (d) of this Section shall
be determined by the emissions measurements recorded and reported in
accordance with 40 CFR 96, subpart H.
3)
For budget units which commenced operation prior to January 1, 2000:
A)
The owner or operator of each such budget unit at the source must
comply with the requirements of 40 CFR 96, subpart H; or
B)
If the monitoring requirements of 40 CFR 96, subpart H, are
demonstrated by the source to be technically infeasible as applied to
a budget unit subject to the requirements of this Subpart, the owner
or operator of such budget unit may monitor by an alternative
monitoring procedure for the budget unit approved by the Agency
and the Administrator of USEPA pursuant to the provisions of 40
CFR 75, subpart E. Such alternative monitoring procedures must be
contained as federally enforceable conditions in the unit’s permit.
C)
The compliance of each budget unit subject to the requirements of
subsection (c)(3)(B) of this Section shall be determined by the
emissions measurements recorded and reported in accordance with
the federally enforceable conditions in the budget unit’s permit
addressing monitoring as required by subsection (c)(3)(B) of this
Section.
d)
NO
x
requirements:
21
1)
As of November 30 of each year, the allowance transfer deadline, the
account representative of each source subject to the requirements of this
Subpart must hold allowances available for compliance deductions under
40 CFR 96.54 for each budget unit at the source subject to this Subpart in
the budget unit’s compliance accounts, or the source's overdraft account.
The number of allowances held in these accounts shall not be less than the
total NO
x
emissions for the control period (rounded to the nearest whole
ton), as determined in accordance with Section 217.656(c) of this Subpart,
plus any number of allowances necessary to account for actual utilization
(e.g., for testing, start-up, malfunction, and shut down) under 40 CFR
96.42(e) for all budget units at the source subject to this Subpart.
Compliance with this provision shall be demonstrated if, as of the
allowance transfer deadline, the sum of the allowances available for
compliance deductions for all budget units at the source subject to this
Subpart is equal to or greater than the total NO
x
emissions (rounded to the
nearest whole ton) from all budget units at the source subject to this
Subpart.
2)
Allowances shall be held in, deducted from, or transferred among
allowance accounts in accordance with this Subpart and 40 CFR 96,
subparts F and G.
3)
Each ton of NO
x
emitted by a source with one or more budget units subject
to this Subpart in any control period in excess of the NO
x
allowances held
by the owner or operator for each budget unit at the source subject to this
Subpart for each control period shall constitute a separate violation of this
Subpart and the Act.
4)
In order to comply with the requirements of subsection (d)(1) of this
Section, an allowance may not be utilized for a control period in a year
prior to the year for which the allowance was allocated.
5)
An allowance allocated by the Agency or USEPA under the NO
x
Trading
Program is a limited authorization to emit one ton of NOx. No provision of
the NO
x
Trading Program, any permit issued or permit application
submitted pursuant to this Subpart, or an exemption under 40 CFR 96.5 and
no provision of law shall be construed to limit the authority of the United
States or the State to terminate or limit this authorization.
6)
An allowance allocated by the Agency or USEPA under the NO
x
Trading
Program or pursuant to this Subpart does not constitute a property right.
7)
Upon recordation by USEPA under 40 CFR 96, subpart F or G, every
allocation, transfer, or deduction of an allowance to or from a budget unit's
compliance account or to or from the source's general or overdraft account
where the budget unit is located is deemed to amend automatically and
22
become a part of any budget permit of the budget unit. This automatic
amendment of the budget permit shall occur by operation of law and will
not require any further review.
e)
Recordkeeping and reporting requirements:
1)
Unless otherwise provided, the owner or operator of a source subject to the
requirements of this Subpart must keep on site at the source each of the
documents listed in subsections (e)(1)(A) through (e)(1)(D) of this Section
for a period of five years from the date the document is created. This
period may be extended for cause at any time prior to the end of five years
in writing by the Agency or USEPA.
A)
The account certificate of representation for the account
representative for the source and each budget unit at the source
subject to the requirements of this Subpart and all documents that
demonstrate the truth of the statements in the account certificate of
representation, in accordance with 40 CFR 96.13, provided that the
certificate and such supporting documents must be retained on site at
the source beyond such five year period until such documents are
superseded because of the submission of a new account certificate
of representation changing the account representative.
B)
All emissions monitoring information, in accordance with Section
217.656(c), provided that to the extent that 40 CFR 96, subpart H,
provides for a three-year period for recordkeeping, the three-year
period shall apply.
C)
Copies of all reports, compliance certifications, and other
submissions and all records made or required under this Subpart or
the NO
x
Trading Program or documents necessary to demonstrate
compliance with the requirements of this Subpart or the NO
x
Trading Program.
D)
Copies of all documents used to complete a budget permit
application and any other submission under this Subpart or under the
NO
x
Trading Program.
2)
The account representative of a source and each budget unit at the source
subject to the requirements of this Subpart must submit to the Agency and
USEPA the reports and compliance certifications required under this
Subpart and the NO
x
Trading Program, including those under 40 CFR 96,
subparts D and H.
f)
Liability:
23
1)
No revision of a budget permit shall excuse any violation of the
requirements of the NO
x
Trading Program or this Subpart that occurs prior
to the date that the revision under such budget permit takes effect.
2)
Each budget source and each budget unit at the source shall meet the
requirements of the NO
x
Trading Program.
3)
Any provision of this Subpart or the NO
x
Trading Program that applies to a
source subject to the requirements of this Subpart (including a provision
applicable to the account representative of the source) shall also apply to
the owner and operator of such source and to the owner and operator of the
budget units subject to the requirements of this Subpart at the source.
4)
Any provision of this Subpart or the NO
x
Trading Program that applies to a
budget unit subject to the requirements of this Subpart (including a
provision applicable to the account representative of such budget unit) shall
also apply to the owner and operator of such budget unit. Except with
regard to the requirements applicable to budget units with a common stack
under 40 CFR 96, subpart H, the owner and operator and the account
representative of one budget unit shall not be liable for any violation by any
other budget unit of which they are not an owner or operator or the account
representative and that is located at a source of which they are not an owner
or operator or the account representative.
5)
Excess emissions requirements. The account representative of a source that
has excess emissions in any control period shall surrender the allowances
as required for deduction under 40 CFR 96.54(d)(1).
6)
The owner or operator of a budget EGU that has excess emissions in any
control period shall pay any fine, penalty, or assessment or comply with any

Section 217.664
Methodology for Determining Required NO
x
Allocations
a)
The methodology for calculating the allowances available to be allocated to new
budget units subject to this Subpart from the new source set aside is based on the
more stringent emission rate of 0.15 lb/mmbtu or the permitted NO
x
emission rate,
but not less than 0.055 lb/mmbtu.
b)
The general equation for determining allowances is:
A
=
HI x ER
2000
Where HI = heat input (in mmbtu/control period) as determined in accordance with subsection (c)
of this Section.
Where ER = The NO
x
emission rate in lbs/mmbtu as determined in accordance with subsection (a)
of this Section.
Where A = allowances of NO
x
/control period.
c)
The projected heat input shall be determined as set forth below, divided by 2000
lbs/ton:
1)
For “new” budget units subject to this Subpart that have heat input from at
least three control periods prior to the allocation year, the average of the
budget unit's two highest seasonal heat inputs from the control periods one
to three years prior to the allocation year;
2)
For “new” budget units subject to this Subpart that have heat input from only
two control periods prior to the allocation year, the average of the budget
unit's seasonal heat inputs from the control periods one and two years prior
to the allocation year;
3)
For “new” budget units subject to this Subpart that have seasonal heat input
from only the control period prior to the allocation year, the heat input from
that control period; or
4)
For “new” budget units subject to this Subpart that have not operated for at
least 77 days of the control period prior to the allocation year, the budget
unit's maximum design heat input for the control period as designated in the
construction permit.

Section 217.666 NO
x
Allocations for Subpart U Budget Units
For each control period, the Agency will allocate the total number of NO
x
allowances in the Subpart U NO
x
Trading
Budget apportioned to budget units under Section 217.660 of this Subpart, subject to adjustment as provided in this
Subpart. These allocations will be issued as provided in subsections (a) through (b) of this Section. Specifically,
a)
The Agency will allocate to each budget unit that is listed in Appendix E of this
Part the number of allowances listed in Column 5 of Appendix E of this Part for
that budget unit for each three year period of the program. The Agency will report
these allocations to USEPA by March 1 of 2004, and triennially thereafter.
b)
The Agency will allocate allowances from the new source set-aside to "new"
budget units as set forth in Section 217.668 of this Subpart.
c)
The Agency will report allocations from the new source set-aside to USEPA by
April 1 of each year for the following year.
d)
To the extent that allowances remain in the new source set-aside after any
allocation pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section, the Agency shall allocate any
such remaining allowances pro-rata to the owner or operator of the budget units
listed on Appendix E of this Part to the extent a whole allowance may be allocated
to any such owner or operator. The Agency will make such allocation by April 15
of each year. If there are insufficient allowances to allocate a whole allowance to
any such owner or operator of a budget unit listed on Appendix E of this Part, such
allowances shall be retained by the Agency in the new source set-aside. Any such
allowances retained in the new source set-aside shall be accumulated in the new
source set-aside and may either:
1)
Be available for allocation to new budget units for future control periods,
subject to the provisions of Section 217.668 of this Subpart; or
2)
If, after any annual allocation to new budget units, there are sufficient
allowances accumulated in the new source set-aside to allocate one or more
whole allowances to the owner or operator of exisiting budget units listed
on Appendix E of this Part on a pro-rata basis, such accumulated whole
allowances shall be allocated pro-rata to such owner or operators.

Section 217.668 New Source Set-Asides for “New” Budget Units
a)
For the 2004, 2005 and 2006 control periods, a "new" budget unit is one that
commenced commercial operation on or after January 1, 2000. For the 2007 and
later control periods, a "new" budget unit is one that commenced commercial
operation no more than three (3) control periods prior to the year the allocation is
requested pursuant to this Section. Those units that commenced commercial
operation on or after January 1, 2000, but before May 31, 2004, become "exisiting"
budget units on October 1, 2004. Those units that commenced commercial
29
operation on or after May 31, 2004, become "exisiting" budget units the end of the
third control period after they commenced commercial operation.
b)
“New” budget units must have an allowance for every ton of NO
x
emitted during the
control period as provided in Section 217.656(d) of this Subpart.
c)
The Agency will establish a new source set-aside for each control period from
which "new" budget units may purchase NO
x
allowances. Each new source set-
aside will be allocated allowances equal to percent of each source's initial total
Subpart U NO
x
Trading Budget allocation as reflected in Column 5 of Appendix E
of this Part, which is 146 allowances, for each control period. The allocation for
the new source set aside from each source shall be based on three percent of the
source's initial allocation, without regard to subsequent adjustment to any such
source's current allocation, including permanent transfer of allowances to another
source or revision of the Subpart U NO
x
Trading Budget by USEPA.
d)
A “new” budget unit may request to purchase from the Agency a number of
allowances that is not more than the number of allowances for which it is eligible,
as determined in Section 217.664 of this Subpart, and subject to the provisions of
this Section.
e)
The account representative of a “new” budget unit under subsection (a) of this
Section may purchase allowances from the new source set-aside by submitting to
the Agency a request, in writing or in a format specified by the Agency, to be
allocated allowances for the current control period from the new source set-aside.
The allocation request for each applicable control period must be submitted after
the date on which the Agency issues a construction permit to the "new" budget unit
and before March 1 of the control period for which the allocation is requested.
f)
The Agency shall apportion allowances from the new source set-aside to "new"
budget units requesting to purchase NO
x
allowances in accordance with subsection
(e) of this Section, and subject to the provisions of this Section.
g)
In an allocation request under subsection (e) of this Section, the account
representative may request to purchase allowances for a control period in a number
that does not exceed the projected heat input in mmbtu during the applicable control
period multiplied by the more stringent of 0.15 lb/mmbtu or the permitted emission
rate, but no more stringent than 0.055 lb/mmbtu.
h)
The Agency will notify the account representative by March 1 of the applicable
year of the number of allowances that are eligible for purchase for the “new”
budget unit pursuant to the requirements of this Section. If the Agency does not
receive payment by March 15 of the applicable year, the account representative
will forfeit his/her eligibility to purchase the allowances offered. The Agency will
make available for purchase those forfeited allowances on a pro-rata basis to
“new” budget units requesting allocations pursuant to Section, up to the number of
30
allowances requested by each account representative. Such additional allocations
are subject to the purchase requirements of subsection (j) of this Section.
i)
The price of allowances from the new source set-aside shall be:
1)
The average price at which NO
x
allowances are traded in the interstate NO
x
Trading Program for the preceding control period; and
2)
For 2004 only, the price shall be the average price at which NO
x
allowances were traded in 2003 in the Ozone Transport Region.
3)
The fees collected by the Agency from the sale of allowances will be
distributed pro-rata to budget units receiving allowances pursuant to
Appendix E of this Part on the basis of allocated allowances, subject to
Agency administrative costs assessed pursuant to Section 9.9 of the Act.

Section 217.670 Early Reduction Credits for Budget Units
If a budget unit reduces its NO
x
emission rate as required by the applicable provisions of subsection (c) of this Section
in the 2001 or 2002, control period, or if approved by USEPA, the 2003 control period, for use in 2004 control period,
or later control periods authorized by USEPA, the account representative may request early reduction credits (ERCs)
for such reductions, and the Agency will allocate ERCs to the budget unit in accordance with the following:
a)
Each budget unit for which the account representative requests any ERCs under
subsection (d) of this Section must monitor NO
x
emissions in accordance with 40
CFR 96, subpart H, as incorporated by reference in Section 217.104 of this Part,
starting with the control period prior to the control period for which ERCs will
first be requested and for each control period for which ERCs will be requested.
For example, if ERCs are requested for reduction made in the 2001 control period,
the budget unit must have implemented the applicable monitoring for the 2000
control period. The budget unit’s monitoring system availability must be not less
than 90 percent during the control period prior to the control period in which the
NO
x
emissions reduction is made and the budget unit must be in compliance with
any applicable State or federal emissions or emissions-related requirements.
b)
The NO
x
emission rate and heat input under subsections (c) through (e) of this
Section shall be determined in accordance with 40 CFR 96, subpart H.
c)
Each budget unit for which ERCs are requested under subsection (d) of this Section
must have reduced its NO
x
emission rate for each control period for which ERCs
are requested by at least 30% less than the actual NO
x
emissions rate (lbs/mmbtu)
for the 2001 control period.
d)
The account representative of a budget unit that meets the requirements of
subsections (a) through (c) of this Section may submit to the Agency a request for
ERCs for the budget unit based on NO
x
emission rate reductions made by the budget
31
unit in control periods 2001, 2002 and 2003 in accordance with subsection (c) of
this Section.
1)
The number of ERCs that may be requested for any applicable control period shall be an
amount equal to the budget unit’s heat input for such control period multiplied by the
difference between the budget unit's NO
x
emission rate (meeting the requirements of
subsection (c) of this Section for such the applicable control period) and the budget unit's
actual NO
x
emission rate for the applicable control period, divided by 2000 lbs/ton, and
rounded to the nearest ton;
2)
Upon request of the account representative, the ERC allowance allocation
for a particular budget unit may be deposited in the source’s overdraft
account rather than in the budget unit’s compliance account; and
3)
The early reduction request must be submitted in a format specified by the
Agency by:
A)
November 1, 2001 for reductions made in the 2001 control period;
B)
November 1, 2002, for reductions made in the 2002 control period;
and
C)
November 1, 2003, for reductions made in the 2003 control period.
e)
In the event that the date for implementing the NO
x
SIP Call, May 31, 2004, is
delayed, the early reduction request must be submitted in accordance with any
rulemaking or guidance by USEPA on the distribution of the Compliance
Supplement Pool under the NO
x
SIP Call, 63 Fed. Reg.57356 (October 27, 1998).
f)
The Agency will allocate ERCs to the budget units meeting the requirements of
subsections (a) through (c) of this Section and covered by ERC requests meeting
the requirements of subsection (d) of this Section in accordance with the following
procedures:
1)
Upon receipt of each ERC request, the Agency will accept the request only
if the requirements of subsections (a) through (d) of this Section are met and
will make any necessary adjustment to the request to ensure that the amount
of the ERCs requested meets the requirements of subsections (b) through (d)
of this Section;
2)
The Agency shall allocate no more than 2,427 ERCs over three years, as
follows:
A)
Not more than one-half of the total ERC allowances for reductions
made in the control period in 2001;
B)
Not less than one-half of the total ERC allowances for reductions
made in the control period in 2002; and
32
C)
If approved by USEPA, any ERC allowances not allocated pursuant
to subsections (f)(2)(A) or (B) of this Section, for reductions made
in the control period in 2003.
3)
If the number of ERC allowances requested for a reduction achieved in the
control period in 2003 is less than or equal to the number of ERC
allowances designated for that control period in subsection (f)(2)(A) and
(B) of this Section, the Agency will allocate to each budget unit one
allowance for each accepted ERC request; and
4)
If the number of ERC allowances requested for a reduction achieved in
control period in 2003 is greater than the number of ERC allowances
designated for that control period in subsection (e)(2)(A) of this Section,
the Agency will allocate to each budget unit allowances for accepted
requests on a pro-rata basis.
g)
The Agency will notify the account representative submitting an ERC request for
the subsequent control period of the number of ERC allowances that will be
allocated to each budget unit for that control period as follows:
1)
By March 1, 2002, for ERCs requested for and earned in the 2001 control
period;
2)
By March 1, 2003, for ERCs requested for and earned in the 2002 control
period; and
3)
By March 1, 2004, for ERCs requested for and earned in the 2003 control
period.
h)
By May 1, 2004, the Agency will submit to USEPA the ERC allocations made by
the Agency under this Section. USEPA will record such allocations to the extent
that they are consistent with the requirements of this Section.
i)
ERC allowances recorded under subsection (h) of this Section may be deducted for
compliance under 40 CFR 96.54, as incorporated by reference in Section 217.104
of this Part, for the control period in 2004 or such control periods as may be
specified by USEPA. Notwithstanding 40 CFR 96.55(a), USEPA will deduct as
retired any ERC allowances that are not deducted for compliance in accordance
with 40 CFR 96.54 for the control period in 2004 or such control periods as may
be specified by USEPA.

representative of a opt-in budget unit shall submit to the Agency a request to
withdraw from the NO
x
Trading Program and to withdraw the budget permit
effective as of a specified date between (and not including) September 30 and
before May 1. The submission shall be made no later than 90 days prior to the
requested effective date of withdrawal.
b)
Conditions for withdrawal. Before an opt-in budget unit may withdraw from the
NO
x
Trading Program and the budget permit may be withdrawn under this Section,
the following conditions must be met:
1)
For the control period immediately before the withdrawal is to be effective,
the account representative must submit to the Agency an annual compliance
certification report in accordance with 40 CFR 96.30.
2)
If the opt-in budget unit has excess emissions for the control period
immediately before the withdrawal is to be effective, USEPA has deducted
35
from the opt-in budget unit's compliance account, or the overdraft account of
the NO
x
budget source where the opt-in budget unit is located, the number of
allowances required in accordance with 40 CFR 96.54(d) for the control
period.
3)
After the requirements for withdrawal under subsections (b)(1) and (2) of
this Section are met, USEPA will deduct from the opt-in unit's compliance
account, or the overdraft account of the budget source where the opt-in
budget unit is located, allowances equal in number to any allowances
allocated to that unit under Section 217.782 of this Subpart for the control
period for which the withdrawal is to be effective and earlier control
periods. USEPA will close the opt-in budget unit's compliance account and
will establish, and transfer any remaining allowances to, a new general
account for the owners and operators of the opt-in unit. The account
representative for the opt-in budget unit shall become the account
representative for the general account.
c)
A opt-in budget unit that withdraws from the Subpart U NO
x
Trading Program shall
comply with all requirements under the NO
x
Trading Program concerning all years
for which such opt-in budget unit was a opt-in budget unit, even if such
requirements arise or must be complied with after the withdrawal takes effect.
d)
Notification:
1)
After the requirements for withdrawal under subsections (a) and (b) of this
Section are met (including deduction of the full amount of allowances
required), the Agency will revise the budget permit indicating a specified
effective date for the withdrawal that is after the requirements in
subsections (a) and (b) of this Section have been met and that is prior to
May 1 or after September 30.
2)
If the requirements for withdrawal under subsections (a) and (b) of this
Section are not met, the Agency will issue a notification to the owner or
operator and the account representative of the opt-in budget unit that the opt-
in unit's request to withdraw its budget permit is denied. If the opt-in
budget unit's request to withdraw is denied, the opt-in budget unit shall
remain subject to the requirements for a opt-in budget unit.
e)
Reapplication upon failure to meet conditions of withdrawal. If the Agency denies
the opt-in budget unit's request to withdraw, the account representative of the opt-in
budget unit may submit another request to withdraw in accordance with subsections
(a) and (b) of this Section.
f)
Ability to return to the NO
x

Section 217.680 Opt-in Units: Change in Regulatory Status
a)
Notification. When an opt-in unit becomes an opt-in budget unit under Section
217.654(d) of this Subpart, the owner or operator shall notify the Agency and
USEPA in writing of such change in the opt-in unit's regulatory status within 30
days of such change.
b)
Any permit application that provides for a change in the regulatory status of a unit
to a opt-in budget unit pursuant to Section 217.674(d)(1)(B) of this Subpart and
included in a budget permit, is effective on the date on which such opt-in unit
becomes a opt-in budget unit under Section 217.654 of this Subpart.
c)
USEPA's action.
1)
USEPA will deduct from the compliance account for the opt-in budget unit
under this Section, or the overdraft account of the budget source where the
opt-in budget unit is located, allowances equal in number to and allocated
for the same or a prior control period as:
A)
Any allowances allocated to the budget unit (as an opt-in unit) under
Section 217.682 of this Subpart for any control period after the last
control period during which the unit's budget permit was effective;
and
B)
If the effective date of any budget permit under subsection (b) of this
Section is during a control period, the allowances allocated to the
opt-in budget unit (as an opt-in unit) under Section 217.682 of this
Subpart for the control period multiplied by the ratio of the number
of days in the control period, starting with the effective date of the
budget permit under subsection (b) of this Section, divided by the
total number of days in the control period.
2)
The account representative shall ensure that the compliance account of the
opt-in budget unit under subsection (b) of this Section, or the overdraft
account of the budget source where the opt-in budget unit is located,
contains the allowances necessary for completion of the deduction under
subsection (c)(1) of this Section. If the compliance account or overdraft
account does not contain sufficient allowances, USEPA will deduct the
required number of allowances, regardless of the control period for which
they were allocated, whenever allowances are recorded in either account.
3)
For every control period during which any budget permit under subsection
(b) of this Section is effective, the opt-in budget unit under subsection (b) of
37
this Section will be treated, solely for purposes of allowance allocations
under Section 217.666 or 217.668 of this Subpart, as a unit that commenced
operation on the effective date of the budget permit under subsection (b) of
this Section and will be allocated allowances in accordance with Section
217.666 or 217.668 of this Subpart.
4)
Notwithstanding subsection (c)(2) of this Section, if the effective date of
any budget permit under subsection (b) of this Section is during a control
period, the following number of allowances will be allocated to the opt-in
budget unit under subsection (b) of this Section under Section 217.666 or
217.668 of this Subpart for the control period: the number of allowances
otherwise allocated to the opt-in budget unit under Section 217.666 or
217.668 of this Subpart for the control period multiplied by the ratio of the
number of days in the control period, starting with the effective date of the
budget permit under subsection (b) of this Section, divided by the total
number of days in the control period.
d)
When the owner or operator of an opt-in unit does not renew the budget permit for
the opt-in budget unit issued pursuant to Section 217.674(d), USEPA will deduct
from the opt-in budget unit's compliance account, or the overdraft account of the
budget source where the opt-in budget unit is located, allowances equal in number
to and allocated for the same or a prior control period as any allowances allocated
to the opt-in budget unit under Section 217.682 of this Subpart for any control
period after the last control period for which the budget permit is effective. The
account representative shall ensure that the opt-in budget unit's compliance account
or the overdraft account of the budget source where the opt-in budget unit is located
contains the allowances necessary for completion of such deduction. If the
compliance account or overdraft account does not contain sufficient allowances,
USEPA will deduct the required number of allowances, regardless of the control
period for which they were allocated, whenever allowances are recorded in either
account.
e)
After the deduction under subsection (d) of this Section is completed, USEPA will
close the opt-in unit's compliance account. If any allowances remain in the
compliance account after completion of such deduction and any deduction under 40
CFR 96.54, USEPA will close the opt-in unit's compliance account and will
establish, and transfer any remaining allowances to, a new general account for the
owner or operator of the opt-in unit. The account representative for the opt-in unit
shall become the account representative for the general account.

Section 217.815 Methods To Obtain NO
X
Emission Reductions
Quantifiable, verifiable, and enforceable NO
x
emission reductions for which allowances are
issued will be shifted from the non-trading portion of the statewide NO
x
budget to the NO
x
trading
budget only for those NO
x
emissions reductions that meet one or more of the following criteria:
a)
Due to the use of any NO
x
emission reduction technology (e.g., combustion or post
combustion control technology or fuel switching) at the emission reduction unit
pursuant to federally enforceable conditions in the permit for the unit addressing
such control technology or fuel switching, NO
x
emissions from the emission
reduction unit for any control period beginning in 2003 are or will be lower than
such unit's actual emissions in the 1995 control period. The amount of actual NO

c)
During any control period beginning in 2003, the emission reduction unit's control
period NO
x
emission rate or hours of operation is reduced pursuant to federally
enforceable conditions in a permit for such unit, resulting in an actual reduction in
NO
x
emissions from such unit’s actual 1995 control period NO
x
emissions. The
amount of actual NO
x
emission reductions shall be determined in accordance with
Section 217.820 of this Subpart, and the amount of creditable NO
x
emission
reductions shall be determined in accordance with Section 217.825 of this Subpart.

Baseline Emissions Determination
An emission unit's actual emissions during the 1995 control period shall be determined as follows:
a)
By multiplying the unit's actual emissions during the 1995 calendar year, as
reported in the annual emission report submitted in accordance with 35 Ill. Adm.
Code 254, by 5/12ths; or
42
b)
If the NO
x
emissions from the unit were not included in the emission reduction
source's 1995 annual emissions report submitted to the Agency pursuant to 35 Ill.
Adm. Code 254, by determining the base case amount included for such unit in the
NO
x
SIP Call inventory, as specified in the "Technical Support Document for
Illinois' Statewide NO
x
Budget, " (63 Fed. Reg. 17349 (Nov. 7, 1997)); or
c)
If the NO
x
baseline emissions for the 1995 control period cannot be determined by the either of the
methods listed in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section, such actual NO
x
baseline emissions shall be
determined based on the average emission rate multiplied by the average number of hours of
operation from two of the three control periods, as selected by the emission reduction source, prior
to the year the emission reduction proposal is effective. The unit's emission rate and hours of
operation will be determined based on the unit's reported NO
x
emission rate and hours of
operation in the most recent annual emission reports for such unit submitted in accordance with
35 Ill. Adm. Code 254.

Expressed in lbs/hr or in lbs/mmbtu and heat input;
2)
Calculated using the data points required under 40 CFR 60.13, as
incorporated by reference in Section 217.104 of this Subpart; and
3)
Calculated using at least two data points separated by a minimum of 15
minutes (where the unit operates for more than one quadrant of an hour) if
data are unavailable as a result of the performance of calibration, quality
assurance, or preventive maintenance activities.
e)
The procedures under 40 CFR 60.13, as incorporated by reference in Section
217.104 of this Subpart, shall be followed for installation, evaluation, and
operation of each CEMS.
f)
For monitoring systems measuring NO
x
in lbs/hr, if NO
x
emission data are not
obtained because of CEMS breakdown, repairs, calibration checks, and zero and
span adjustments, NO
x
emission data shall be obtained by using the data substitution
procedures contained in 40 CFR 75, subpart D, incorporated by reference in
Section 217.104 of this Part.
48
g)
For monitoring systems measuring NO
x
in lbs/mmbtu, if NO
x
emission data are not
obtained because of CEMS breakdown, repairs, calibration checks, and zero and
span adjustments, NO
x
emission data shall be obtained by using the rolling hourly
average of emission data recorded for the previous 30 day period of operation if
the data capture for such period is 95% or greater and the period of missing data is
equal to or less than 24 consecutive hours. If the data capture for such previous 30
day period is less than 95% or the period of missing data is greater than 24
consecutive hours, the data shall be obtained by using the highest hourly average
recorded during the previous 30 days of operation.
h)
The CEMS shall be subject to the quality assurance procedures and requirements of
40 CFR 60, Appendix F, incorporated by reference in Section 217.104 of this Part.

x
allowances in an amount equal to two
(2) times the excess NO
x
emissions in accordance with the federal NO
x
Trading Program and surrender the allowances to the Agency by December
31 following the control period in which the emission reduction source had
excess emissions;
2)
For the second control period during which the emission reduction source
has excess NO
x
emissions, purchase allowances in an amount equal to three
(3) times the excess NO
x
emissions in accordance with the federal NO
x
Trading Program and surrender the allowances to the Agency by December
31 following the control period in which the emission reduction source had
excess emissions;
3)
If the emission reduction source has excess NO
x
emissions for three control
periods, purchase allowances in an amount equal to four (4) times the
excess NO
x
emissions pursuant to the federal NO
x
Trading Program and
surrender the allowances to the Agency by December 31 following the
control period in which the emission reduction source had excess
emissions, and the NO
x
emission reduction proposal shall be revoked. The
emission reduction source will thereafter not be able to generate NO
x
emission reductions for which NO
x
allowances may be issued under this
Subpart.
b)
All allowances surrendered to the Agency pursuant to subsections (a)(1) through
(a)(3) of this Section shall be retired to benefit air quality.
