NOx Budget Trading Program; New Source Set-Aside 2006 Proposed Allocations [36 Pa.B. 625] The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is providing notice and an opportunity for comment regarding the proposed allowance allocations from the new source set-aside for the 2006 control period (May 1, 2006--September 30, 2006). The new source set-aside contains 2,542 allowances, 1,920 of which are available for new sources after allocation corrections. For each NOx budget unit, Table 1 lists the following: the allowances applied for under the ''request'' column; the maximum potential number of allowances authorized by the regulation under the ''maximum'' column; and the final, pro-rata allocation under the ''allocation'' column. Each unit received approximately 33% of its requested 2006 NOx allowance allocation.
New source operators are advised that this allocation is for one control period only. To receive allocations from the new source set-aside for future control periods, source operators must submit new requests to the Department by January 1 each year.
