The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced the availability of data on emission allowances for certain units under the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) trading programs. These allowances are distributed from the new unit set-asides (NUSAs) for the 2024 control periods, with spreadsheets containing the calculations available on EPA's website. The data includes final calculations for allocations to both new and existing units. Importantly, an allowance allocation does not imply that a unit is or isn't subject to the trading program.
