Final Notice of Data Availability Concerning 2010 CAIR 
NOX Annual 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 
Annual Trading Program (CAIRNOX) new unit set-aside allowance pools for 
Delaware and the District of Columbia. The CAIRNOX 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 June 29, 2010, EPA issued a NODA setting forth such determinations 
for 2010 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 CAIRNOX allowance allocations and denials of such 
allocations for 2010 under the FIPs, as well as the data upon which the 
allocations and denials of allocations were based.

DATES: Under Sec.  97.153(e), EPA must record, by December 1, 2010, the 
CAIRNOX new unit set-aside allowance allocations, consistent with this 
NODA, in the compliance accounts of units whose owners and operators 
successfully applied for a CAIRNOX new unit set-aside allowance 
allocation under the CAIR FIPs. See 40 CFR 97.153(e).

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 CAIRNOX new unit set-aside allowances under the CAIR FIPs, 
procedures for allocating such allowances, application of requirements 
to individual CAIRNOX new unit set-aside allocation requests, and 
interpretation of the data upon which the CAIRNOX new unit set-aside 
allocations for 2010 and denials of allocations were based, see the 
June 29, 2010 NODA (75 Fed. Reg. 37433, June 29, 2010).
    EPA received no objections to the determinations and data in the 
June 29, 2010 NODA. Therefore, EPA adopts the CAIRNOX new unit set-
aside allocations set forth in the June 29, 2010 NODA.
    EPA is not requesting objections to the data provided in this final 
NODA. This action constitutes a final action for determining the 
CAIRNOX new unit set-aside allowance allocations under Sec.  97.142 and 
the CAIR FIPs for 2010.

    Dated: August 20, 2010.

Acting Director, Office of Atmospheric Programs.
