(b) Any CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowance that is held in a compliance account or a general account will remain in such account unless and until the CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowance is deducted or transferred under § 97.811(c) or (d), § 97.823, § 97.824, § 97.825, § 97.827, or § 97.828 or paragraph (c), (d), or (e) of this section.

(c) At any time after the allowance transfer deadline for the last control period for which a State NOX Ozone Season Group 2 trading budget is established under § 97.810(a) for a given State and after completion of the procedures under paragraphs (d)(1) and (2) of this section, the Administrator may record a transfer of any CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances held in the compliance account for a source in such State (and Indian country within the borders of such State) to a general account identified or established by the Administrator with the source's designated representative as the authorized account representative and with the owners and operators of the source (as indicated on the certificate of representation for the source) as the persons represented by the authorized account representative.

(B) The total tons of NOX emissions reported in accordance with §§ 97.806(b) and 97.830 through 97.835 for all CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 units at CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 sources in the States listed in § 52.38(b)(2)(ii)(B) of this chapter (and Indian country within the borders of such States) for the control periods in 2017 through 2020.

(D) A conversion factor, computed as the quotient, rounded down to the nearest whole number, of the remainder of the total amount of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Original Group 2 allowances determined under paragraph (d)(1)(i)(A) of this section minus the total tons of NOX emissions determined under paragraph (d)(1)(i)(B) of this section divided by the full-season CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 allowance bank target determined under paragraph (d)(1)(i)(C) of this section.

(E) The adjusted CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 allowance bank target, computed as the product, rounded to the nearest allowance, of the full-season CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 allowance bank target determined under paragraph (d)(1)(i)(C) of this section multiplied by a fraction whose numerator is the number of days from June 29, 2021 through September 30, 2021, inclusive, and whose denominator is 153.
