(1) The CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 allowances will be allocated to the following CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 units, except as provided in paragraph (a)(10) of this section:

(i) CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 units that are not allocated an amount of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 allowances for such control period in the applicable notice of data availability referenced in § 97.1011(a)(1) or (2) and that have deadlines for certification of monitoring systems under § 97.1030(b) not later than September 30 of the year of the control period; or

(2) The Administrator will establish a separate new unit set-aside for the State for each such control period. Each such new unit set-aside will be allocated CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 allowances in an amount equal to the applicable amount of tons of NOX emissions as set forth in § 97.1010(c) and will be allocated additional CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 allowances (if any) in accordance with § 97.1011(c)(5) and paragraphs (b)(10) and (c)(5) of this section.

(3) The Administrator will determine, for each CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 unit described in paragraph (a)(1) of this section, an allocation of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 allowances for the latest of the following control periods and for each subsequent control period:

(i) The control period in 2021, for a State listed in § 52.38(b)(2)(iii)(A) of this chapter, or the control period in 2023, for a State listed in § 52.38(b)(2)(iii)(B) or (C) of this chapter;

(ii) The control period containing the deadline for certification of the CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 unit's monitoring systems under § 97.1030(b); and

(ii)

(A) The allocation under paragraph (a)(4)(i) of this section to a unit described in paragraph (a)(4)(ii)(B) or (C) of this section may not exceed a maximum controlled baseline calculated as the product (converted to tons at a conversion factor of 2,000 lb/ton and rounded to the nearest ton) of the unit's total heat input during the control period in mmBtu multiplied by a NOX emissions rate of 0.08 lb/mmBtu.

(B) For a control period in 2024 through 2026, a maximum controlled baseline under paragraph (a)(4)(ii)(A) of this section shall apply to any unit combusting any coal or solid coal-derived fuel during the control period, serving a generator with nameplate capacity of 100 MW or more, and equipped with selective catalytic reduction controls on or before September 30 of the preceding control period, except a circulating fluidized bed boiler.

(C) For a control period in 2027 and thereafter, a maximum controlled baseline under paragraph (a)(4)(ii)(A) of this section shall apply to any unit combusting any coal or solid coal-derived fuel during the control period and serving a generator with nameplate capacity of 100 MW or more, except a circulating fluidized bed boiler.
