            (iii) For a unit described in paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this section, the first control period in which the CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 unit operates in the State after operating in another jurisdiction and for which the unit is not already allocated one or more CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances; and
            (iv) For a unit described in paragraph (a)(1)(iii) of this section, the first control period after the control period in which the unit resumes operation, for allocations for a control period before 2023, or the control period in which the unit resumes operation, for allocations for a control period in 2023 or thereafter.
         (4)
            (i) The allocation to each CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 unit described in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) through (iii) of this section and for each control period described in paragraph (a)(3) of this section will be an amount equal to the unit's total tons of NOX emissions during the immediately preceding control period, for a control period before 2023, or the unit's total tons of NOX emissions during the control period, for a control period in 2023 or thereafter.
            (ii) The Administrator will adjust the allocation amount in paragraph (a)(4)(i) of this section in accordance with paragraphs (a)(5) through (7) and (12) of this section.
         (5) The Administrator will calculate the sum of the allocation amounts of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances determined for all such CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 units under paragraph (a)(4)(i) of this section in the State for such control period.
         (6) If the amount of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances in the new unit set-aside for the State for such control period is greater than or equal to the sum under paragraph (a)(5) of this section, then the Administrator will allocate the amount of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances determined for each such CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 unit under paragraph (a)(4)(i) of this section.
         (7) If the amount of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances in the new unit set-aside for the State for such control period is less than the sum under paragraph (a)(5) of this section, then the Administrator will allocate to each such CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 unit the amount of the CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances determined under paragraph (a)(4)(i) of this section for the unit, multiplied by the amount of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances in the new unit set-aside for such control period, divided by the sum under paragraph (a)(5) of this section, and rounded to the nearest allowance.
         (8) For a control period before 2023 only, the Administrator will notify the public, through the promulgation of the notices of data availability described in § 97.811(b)(1)(i) and (ii), of the amount of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances allocated under paragraphs (a)(2) through (7) and (12) of this section for such control period to each CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 unit eligible for such allocation.
         (9) For a control period before 2023 only, if, after completion of the procedures under paragraphs (a)(5) through (8) of this section for such control period, any unallocated CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances remain in the new unit set-aside for the State for such control period, the Administrator will allocate such CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances as follows -- 
            (i) The Administrator will determine, for each unit described in paragraph (a)(1) of this section that commenced commercial operation during the period starting January 1 of the year before the year of such control period and ending November 30 of the year of such control period, the positive difference (if any) between the unit's emissions during such control period and the amount of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances referenced in the notice of data availability required under § 97.811(b)(1)(ii) for the unit for such control period;
            (ii) The Administrator will determine the sum of the positive differences determined under paragraph (a)(9)(i) of this section;
            (iii) If the amount of unallocated CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances remaining in the new unit set-aside for the State for such control period is greater than or equal to the sum determined under paragraph (a)(9)(ii) of this section, then the Administrator will allocate the amount of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances determined for each such CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 unit under paragraph (a)(9)(i) of this section; and
            (iv) If the amount of unallocated CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances remaining in the new unit set-aside for the State for such control period is less than the sum under paragraph (a)(9)(ii) of this section, then the Administrator will allocate to each such CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 unit the amount of the CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances determined under paragraph (a)(9)(i) of this section for the unit, multiplied by the amount of unallocated CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances remaining in the new unit set-aside for such control period, divided by the sum under paragraph (a)(9)(ii) of this section, and rounded to the nearest allowance.
         (10) If, after completion of the procedures under paragraphs (a)(9) and (12) of this section for a control period before 2023, or under paragraphs (a)(2) through (7) and (12) of this section for a control period in 2023 or thereafter, any unallocated CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances remain in the new unit set-aside for the State for such control period, the Administrator will allocate to each CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 unit that is in the State, is allocated an amount of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances in the notice of data availability issued under § 97.811(a)(1), and continues to be allocated CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances for such control period in accordance with § 97.811(a)(2), an amount of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances equal to the following: 
            The total amount of such remaining unallocated CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances in such new unit set-aside, multiplied by the unit's allocation under § 97.811(a) for such control period, divided by the remainder of the amount of tons in the applicable State NOX Ozone Season Group 2 trading budget minus the sum of the amounts of tons in such new unit set-aside and the Indian country new unit set-aside for the State for such control period, and rounded to the nearest allowance.
         (11) 
            (i) For a control period before 2023, the Administrator will notify the public, through the promulgation of the notices of data availability described in § 97.811(b)(1)(iii), (iv), and (v), of the amount of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances allocated under paragraphs (a)(9), (10), and (12) of this section for such control period to each CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 unit eligible for such allocation.
            (ii) For a control period in 2023 or thereafter, the Administrator will notify the public, through the promulgation of the notices of data availability described in § 97.811(b)(1)(i), (ii), and (v), of the amount of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances allocated under paragraphs (a)(2) through (7), (10), and (12) of this section for such control period to each CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 unit eligible for such allocation.
         (12)
            Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraphs (a)(2) through (11) of this section, if the calculations of allocations from a new unit set-aside for a control period before 2023 under paragraph (a)(7) of this section, paragraphs (a)(6) and (a)(9)(iv) of this section, or paragraphs (a)(6), (a)(9)(iii), and (a)(10) of this section, or for a control period in 2023 or thereafter under paragraph (a)(7) of this section or paragraphs (a)(6) and (10) of this section, would otherwise result in total allocations from such new unit set-aside unequal to the total amount of such new unit set-aside, then the Administrator will adjust the results of such calculations as follows. The Administrator will list the CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 units in descending order based on such units' allocation amounts under paragraph (a)(7), (a)(9)(iv), or (a)(10) of this section, as applicable, and, in cases of equal allocation amounts, in alphabetical order of the relevant sources' names and numerical order of the relevant units' identification numbers, and will adjust each unit's allocation amount under such paragraph upward or downward by one CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowance (but not below zero) in the order in which the units are listed, and will repeat this adjustment process as necessary, until the total allocations from such new unit set-aside equal the total amount of such new unit set-aside.
            
   (b) Allocations from Indian country new unit set-asides.
      For each control period in 2017 and thereafter and for the CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 units located in Indian country within the borders of each State, the Administrator will allocate CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances to the CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 units as follows:

            (iii) If the amount of unallocated CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances remaining in the Indian country new unit set-aside for the State for such control period is greater than or equal to the sum determined under paragraph (b)(9)(ii) of this section, then the Administrator will allocate the amount of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances determined for each such CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 unit under paragraph (b)(9)(i) of this section; and
            (iv) If the amount of unallocated CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances remaining in the Indian country new unit set-aside for the State for such control period is less than the sum under paragraph (b)(9)(ii) of this section, then the Administrator will allocate to each such CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 unit the amount of the CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances determined under paragraph (b)(9)(i) of this section for the unit, multiplied by the amount of unallocated CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances remaining in the Indian country new unit set-aside for such control period, divided by the sum under paragraph (b)(9)(ii) of this section, and rounded to the nearest allowance.
         (10) If, after completion of the procedures under paragraphs (b)(9) and (12) of this section for a control period before 2023, or under paragraphs (b)(2) through (7) and (12) of this section for a control period in 2023 or thereafter, any unallocated CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances remain in the Indian country new unit set-aside for the State for such control period, the Administrator will:
            (i) Transfer such unallocated CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances to the new unit set-aside for the State for such control period; or
            (ii) If the State has a SIP revision approved under § 52.38(b)(6), (8), or (9) of this chapter covering such control period, include such unallocated CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances in the portion of the State NOX Ozone Season Group 2 trading budget that may be allocated for such control period in accordance with such SIP revision.
         (11) 
            (i) For a control period before 2023, the Administrator will notify the public, through the promulgation of the notices of data availability described in § 97.811(b)(2)(iii), (iv), and (v), of the amount of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances allocated under paragraphs (b)(9), (10), and (12) of this section for such control period to each CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 unit eligible for such allocation.

         (12)
            Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraphs (b)(2) through (11) of this section, if the calculations of allocations from an Indian country new unit set-aside for a control period before 2023 under paragraph (b)(7) of this section or paragraphs (b)(6) and (b)(9)(iv) of this section, or for a control period in 2023 or thereafter under paragraph (b)(7) of this section, would otherwise result in total allocations from such Indian country new unit set-aside unequal to the total amount of such Indian country new unit set-aside, then the Administrator will adjust the results of such calculations as follows. The Administrator will list the CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 units in descending order based on such units' allocation amounts under paragraph (b)(7) or (b)(9)(iv) of this section, as applicable, and, in cases of equal allocation amounts, in alphabetical order of the relevant sources' names and numerical order of the relevant units' identification numbers, and will adjust each unit's allocation amount under such paragraph upward or downward by one CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowance (but not below zero) in the order in which the units are listed, and will repeat this adjustment process as necessary, until the total allocations from such Indian country new unit set-aside equal the total amount of such Indian country new unit set-aside.

            (i) If any such data are revised by the Administrator as a result of a decision in or settlement of litigation concerning such data on appeal under part 78 of this chapter of such notice, or on appeal under section 307 of the Clean Air Act of a decision rendered under part 78 of this chapter on appeal of such notice, then the Administrator will use the data as so revised to recalculate the amounts of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances that owners and operators are required to hold in accordance with the calculation formula in § 97.806(c)(2)(i) for such control period with regard to the base CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 sources, base CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 units, and State (and Indian country within the borders of such State) involved, provided that such litigation under part 78 of this chapter, or the proceeding under part 78 of this chapter that resulted in the decision appealed in such litigation under section 307 of the Clean Air Act, was initiated no later than 30 days after promulgation of such notice required in paragraph (b)(2)(iii)(B) of this section.
            (ii) For a control period before 2023 only, if any such data are revised by the owners and operators of a base CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 source and base CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 unit whose designated representative submitted such data under paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this section, as a result of a decision in or settlement of litigation concerning such submission, then the Administrator will use the data as so revised to recalculate the amounts of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances that owners and operators are required to hold in accordance with the calculation formula in § 97.806(c)(2)(i) for such control period with regard to the base CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 sources, base CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 units, and State (and Indian country within the borders of such State) involved, provided that such litigation was initiated no later than 30 days after promulgation of such notice required in paragraph (b)(2)(iii)(B) of this section.
            (iii) If the revised data are used to recalculate, in accordance with paragraphs (b)(6)(i) and (ii) of this section, the amount of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances that the owners and operators are required to hold for such control period with regard to the base CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 sources, base CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 units, and State (and Indian country within the borders of such State) involved -- 
               (A) Where the amount of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances that the owners and operators are required to hold increases as a result of the use of all such revised data, the Administrator will establish a new, reasonable deadline on which the owners and operators shall hold the additional amount of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances in the assurance account established by the Administrator for the appropriate base CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 sources, base CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 units, and State (and Indian country within the borders of such State) under paragraph (b)(3) of this section. The owners' and operators' failure to hold such additional amount, as required, before the new deadline shall not be a violation of the Clean Air Act. The owners' and operators' failure to hold such additional amount, as required, as of the new deadline shall be a violation of the Clean Air Act. Each CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowance that the owners and operators fail to hold as required as of the new deadline, and each day in such control period, shall be a separate violation of the Clean Air Act.
               (B) For the owners and operators for which the amount of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances required to be held decreases as a result of the use of all such revised data, the Administrator will record, in all accounts from which CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances were transferred by such owners and operators for such control period to the assurance account established by the Administrator for the appropriate base CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 sources, base CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 units, and State (and Indian country within the borders of such State) under paragraph (b)(3) of this section, a total amount of the CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances held in such assurance account equal to the amount of the decrease. If CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances were transferred to such assurance account from more than one account, the amount of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances recorded in each such transferor account will be in proportion to the percentage of the total amount of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances transferred to such assurance account for such control period from such transferor account.
               (C) Each CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowance held under paragraph (b)(6)(iii)(A) of this section as a result of recalculation of requirements under the CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 assurance provisions for such control period must be a CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowance allocated for a control period in a year before or the year immediately following, or in the same year as, the year of such control period.
§ 97.826   Banking and conversion.
   (a) A CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowance may be banked for future use or transfer in a compliance account or a general account in accordance with paragraph (b) of this section.
   (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 removed under paragraph (c) of this section.
   (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subpart, part 52 of this chapter, or any SIP revision approved under § 52.38(b)(6), (8), or (9) of this chapter, the Administrator will remove CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances from compliance accounts and general accounts and allocate in their place amounts of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 allowances as provided in paragraphs (c)(1) through (5) of this section and will record CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 allowances in lieu of initially recording CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances as provided in paragraph (c)(6) of this section.
      (1) By [INSERT DATE 180 DAYS AFTER DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER], the Administrator will temporarily suspend acceptance of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowance transfers submitted under § 97.822 and, before resuming acceptance of such transfers, will take the following actions with regard to every general account and every compliance account except a compliance account for a CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 source located in a State listed in § 52.38(b)(2)(iii) of this chapter or Indian country within the borders of such a State, subject to the prior opportunity for temporary modifications of the holdings of each general account as described in paragraph (c)(1)(iv) of this section:
         (i) The Administrator will remove all CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances allocated for the control periods in 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 from each such account.
         (ii) The Administrator will determine a conversion factor equal to the greater of 1.0000 or the quotient, expressed to four decimal places, of the sum of all CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances removed from all such accounts under paragraph (c)(1)(i) of this section divided by the product of the sum of the variability limits for the control period in 2022 set forth in § 97.1010(b) for all States except a State listed in § 52.38(b)(2)(iii) of this chapter multiplied by a fraction whose numerator is the number of days from [INSERT DATE 60 DAYS AFTER DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER] through September 30, 2021, inclusive, and whose denominator is 153.
         (iii) The Administrator will allocate to and record in each such account an amount of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 allowances for the control period in 2021, where such amount is determined as the quotient of the number of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances removed from such account under paragraph (c)(1)(i) of this section divided by the conversion factor determined under paragraph (c)(1)(ii) of this section, rounded up to the nearest whole allowance, except as provided in paragraphs (c)(4) and (5) of this section.
         (iv) The authorized account representative for a general account may elect to prevent the application of the provisions of paragraphs (c)(1)(i) through (iii) of this section to any or all CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances held in such general account as follows:
            (A) Not less than 30 days before taking the action described in paragraph (c)(1)(i) of this section, the Administrator will establish a reserve account for the sole purpose of temporarily holding CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances that will not be subject to the provisions of paragraphs (c)(1)(i) through (iii) of this section.
            (B) The authorized account representative for any general account may transfer any or all CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances held in such general account to the reserve account, provided that each such transfer must be submitted not less than 7 days before the action described in paragraph (c)(1)(i) of this section. CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances held in a compliance account may not be transferred directly to the reserve account but may be transferred to a general account and then transferred from the general account to the reserve account, subject to the deadline under this paragraph for submission of the transfer to the reserve account.
            (C) Not more than 7 days after completion of the action described in paragraph (c)(1)(iii) of this section, the Administrator will transfer all CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances held in the reserve account back to the general accounts from which such CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances were transferred to the reserve account. 
      (2) As soon as practicable after approval of a SIP revision under § 52.38(b)(10) of this chapter for a State listed in § 52.38(b)(2)(iii) of this chapter (or a State listed in § 52.38(b)(2)(i) of this chapter for which a SIP revision under § 52.38(b)(6) of this chapter was previously approved), but not later than the allowance transfer deadline defined under § 97.1002 for the initial control period described with regard to such SIP revision in § 52.38(b)(10)(ii)(A) of this chapter, the Administrator will temporarily suspend acceptance of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowance transfers submitted under § 97.822 and, before resuming acceptance of such transfers, will take the following actions with regard to every general account and every compliance account, unless otherwise provided in such approval of the SIP revision:
         (i) The Administrator will remove from each such account all CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances for such initial control period and each subsequent control period that were allocated to units located in such State under this subpart or § 97.526(c)(2) or that were allocated or auctioned to any entity under a SIP revision for such State approved by the Administrator under § 52.38(b)(6), (8), or (9) of this chapter, whether such CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances were initially recorded in such account or were transferred to such account from another account.
         (ii) The Administrator will determine a conversion factor equal to the greater of 1.0000 or the quotient, expressed to four decimal places, of the NOX Ozone Season Group 2 trading budget set forth for such State in § 97.810(a) divided by the NOX Ozone Season Group 3 trading budget set forth for such State in § 97.1010(a).
         (iii) The Administrator will allocate to and record in each such account an amount of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 allowances for each control period for which CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances were removed from such account, where each such amount is determined as the quotient of the number of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances for such control period removed from such account under paragraph (c)(2)(i) of this section divided by the conversion factor determined under paragraph (c)(2)(ii) of this section, rounded up to the nearest whole allowance, except as provided in paragraphs (c)(4) and (5) of this section.
      (3) As soon as practicable after approval of a SIP revision under § 52.38(b)(10) of this chapter for a State listed in § 52.38(b)(2)(iii) of this chapter (or a State listed in § 52.38(b)(2)(i) of this chapter for which a SIP revision under § 52.38(b)(6) of this chapter was previously approved), but not before the completion of deductions under § 97.824 for the control period before the initial control period described with regard to such SIP revision in § 52.38(b)(10)(ii)(A) of this chapter and not later than the allowance transfer deadline defined under § 97.1002 for such initial control period, the Administrator will temporarily suspend acceptance of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowance transfers submitted under § 97.822 and, before resuming acceptance of such transfers, will take the following actions with regard to every compliance account for a CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 source located in such State, provided that if the provisions of § 52.38(b)(2)(iii) of this chapter or a SIP revision approved under § 52.38(b)(6) or (9) of this chapter will no longer apply to any source in any State or Indian country within the borders of any State with regard to emissions occurring in such initial control period or any subsequent control period, the Administrator instead will permanently end acceptance of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowance transfers submitted under § 97.822 and will take the following actions with regard to every general account and every compliance account:
         (i) The Administrator will remove from each such account all CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances allocated for all control periods before such initial control period.
         (ii) The Administrator will determine a conversion factor equal to the greater of 1.0000 or the quotient, expressed to four decimal places, of the sum of all CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances removed from all such accounts under paragraph (c)(3)(i) of this section divided by the variability limit for such initial control period set forth for such State in § 97.1010(b).
         (iii) The Administrator will allocate to and record in each such account an amount of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 allowances for such initial control period, where such amount is determined as the quotient of the number of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances removed from such account under paragraph (c)(3)(i) of this section divided by the conversion factor determined under paragraph (c)(3)(ii) of this section, rounded up to the nearest whole allowance, except as provided in paragraphs (c)(4) and (5) of this section.
      (4) 
         (i) Where, pursuant to paragraph (c)(1)(i), (c)(2)(i), or (c)(3)(i) of this section, the Administrator removes CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances from the compliance account for a source located in a State that is not listed in § 52.38(b)(2)(v) of this chapter and for which no SIP revision has been approved under § 52.38(b)(10) of this chapter, or Indian country within the borders of such a State, the Administrator will not record CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 allowances in that compliance account but instead will allocate to and record in a general account CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 allowances for the control periods and in the amounts determined in accordance with paragraph (c)(1)(iii), (c)(2)(iii), or (c)(3)(iii) of this section, respectively, provided that the designated representative for such source identifies such general account in a submission to the Administrator within 180 days after the date on which the Administrator removes CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances from the source's compliance account under paragraph (c)(1)(i), (c)(2)(i), or (c)(3)(i) of this section. 
         (ii) If the designated representative for a source described in paragraph (4)(i) of this section does not make a submission identifying a general account for recordation of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 allowances within 180 days after the date on which the Administrator removes CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances from the source's compliance account under paragraph (c)(1)(i), (c)(2)(i), or (c)(3)(i) of this section, the Administrator may transfer the CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 allowances to a surrender account. A submission by the designated representative under paragraph (4)(i) of this section after such a transfer has taken place shall have no effect. 
      (5)
         (i) In computing any amounts of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 allowances to be allocated to and recorded in general accounts under paragraph (c)(1)(iii), (c)(2)(iii), or (c)(3)(iii) of this section, the Administrator may group multiple general accounts whose ownership interests are held by the same or related persons or entities and treat the group of accounts as a single account for purposes of such computation.
         (ii) Following a computation for a group of general accounts in accordance with paragraph (c)(5)(i) of this section, the Administrator will allocate to and record in each individual account in such group a proportional share of the quantity of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 allowances computed for such group, basing such shares on the respective quantities of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances removed from such individual accounts under paragraph (c)(1)(i), (c)(2)(i), or (c)(3)(i) of this section, as applicable.
         (iii) In determining the proportional shares under paragraph (c)(5)(ii) of this section, the Administrator may employ any reasonable adjustment methodology to truncate or round each such share up or down to a whole number and to cause the total of such whole numbers to equal the amount of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 allowances computed for such group of accounts in accordance with paragraph (c)(5)(i) of this section, even where such adjustments cause the numbers of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 allowances allocated to some individual accounts to equal zero.
      (6) After the Administrator has carried out the procedures set forth in paragraph (c)(1), (2), or (3) of this section, upon any determination that would otherwise result in the initial recordation of any CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances in any account, where if such allowances had been recorded before the Administrator had carried out such procedures the allowances would have been removed from such account under paragraph (c)(1)(i), (c)(2)(i), or (c)(3)(i) of this section, respectively, the Administrator will not record such CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances but instead will record CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 allowances for the control periods and in the amounts determined in accordance with paragraph (c)(1)(iii), (c)(2)(iii), or (c)(3)(iii) of this section, respectively, in such account or another account identified in accordance with paragraph (c)(4) of this section.
      (7) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subpart or subpart GGGGG of this part, CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 allowances may be used to satisfy requirements to hold CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances under this subpart as follows, provided that nothing in this paragraph alters the time as of which any such allowance holding requirement must be met or limits any consequence of a failure to timely meet any such allowance holding requirement:
         (i) After the Administrator has carried out the procedures set forth in paragraph (c)(1) of this section, the owner or operator of a CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 unit in a State listed in § 52.38(b)(2)(v) of this chapter or Indian country within the borders of such a State may satisfy a requirement to hold a given number of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances for the control period in 2017, 2018, 2019, or 2020 by holding instead, in a general account established for this sole purpose, an amount of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 allowances for the control period in 2021, where such amount of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 allowances is computed as the quotient of such given number of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances divided by the conversion factor determined under paragraph (c)(1)(ii) of this section, rounded up to the nearest whole allowance.
         (ii) After the Administrator has carried out the procedures set forth in paragraph (c)(3) of this section, the owner or operator of a CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 unit in a State listed in § 52.38(b)(2)(iii) of this chapter (or a State listed in § 52.38(b)(2)(i) of this chapter for which a SIP revision under § 52.38(b)(6) of this chapter was previously approved) may satisfy a requirement to hold a given number of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances for a control period before the initial control period described with regard to the State's SIP revision in § 52.38(b)(10)(ii)(A) of this chapter by holding instead, in a general account established for this sole purpose, an amount of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 allowances for such initial control period or any previous control period, where such amount of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 allowances is computed as the quotient of such given number of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances divided by the conversion factor determined under paragraph (c)(3)(ii) of this section, rounded up to the nearest whole allowance.
§ 97.827   Account error.
   The Administrator may, at his or her sole discretion and on his or her own motion, correct any error in any Allowance Management System account. Within 10 business days of making such correction, the Administrator will notify the authorized account representative for the account.
§ 97.828   Administrator's action on submissions.
   (a) The Administrator may review and conduct independent audits concerning any submission under the CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 Trading Program and make appropriate adjustments of the information in the submission.
   (b) The Administrator may deduct CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances from or transfer CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 allowances to a compliance account or an assurance account, based on the information in a submission, as adjusted under paragraph (a) of this section, and record such deductions and transfers.

      (1) Requirements for initial certification. 
         The owner or operator shall ensure that each continuous monitoring system under § 97.830(a)(1) (including the automated data acquisition and handling system) successfully completes all of the initial certification testing required under § 75.20 of this chapter by the applicable deadline in § 97.830(b). In addition, whenever the owner or operator installs a monitoring system to meet the requirements of this subpart in a location where no such monitoring system was previously installed, initial certification in accordance with § 75.20 of this chapter is required.
      (2) Requirements for recertification. 
         Whenever the owner or operator makes a replacement, modification, or change in any certified continuous emission monitoring system under § 97.830(a)(1) that may significantly affect the ability of the system to accurately measure or record NOX mass emissions or heat input rate or to meet the quality-assurance and quality-control requirements of § 75.21 of this chapter or appendix B to part 75 of this chapter, the owner or operator shall recertify the monitoring system in accordance with § 75.20(b) of this chapter. Furthermore, whenever the owner or operator makes a replacement, modification, or change to the flue gas handling system or the unit's operation that may significantly change the stack flow or concentration profile, the owner or operator shall recertify each continuous emission monitoring system whose accuracy is potentially affected by the change, in accordance with § 75.20(b) of this chapter. Examples of changes to a continuous emission monitoring system that require recertification include replacement of the analyzer, complete replacement of an existing continuous emission monitoring system, or change in location or orientation of the sampling probe or site. Any fuel flowmeter system, and any excepted NOX monitoring system under appendix E to part 75 of this chapter, under § 97.830(a)(1) are subject to the recertification requirements in § 75.20(g)(6) of this chapter.
      (3) Approval process for initial certification and recertification. 
         For initial certification of a continuous monitoring system under § 97.830(a)(1), paragraphs (d)(3)(i) through (v) of this section apply. For recertifications of such monitoring systems, paragraphs (d)(3)(i) through (iv) of this section and the procedures in § 75.20(b)(5) and (g)(7) of this chapter (in lieu of the procedures in paragraph (d)(3)(v) of this section) apply, provided that in applying paragraphs (d)(3)(i) through (iv) of this section, the words "certification" and "initial certification" are replaced by the word "recertification" and the word "certified" is replaced by the word "recertified".
            (i) Notification of certification. 
               The designated representative shall submit to the appropriate EPA Regional Office and the Administrator written notice of the dates of certification testing, in accordance with § 97.833.
            (ii) Certification application. 
               The designated representative shall submit to the Administrator a certification application for each monitoring system. A complete certification application shall include the information specified in § 75.63 of this chapter.
            (iii) Provisional certification date. 
               The provisional certification date for a monitoring system shall be determined in accordance with § 75.20(a)(3) of this chapter. A provisionally certified monitoring system may be used under the CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 Trading Program for a period not to exceed 120 days after receipt by the Administrator of the complete certification application for the monitoring system under paragraph (d)(3)(ii) of this section. Data measured and recorded by the provisionally certified monitoring system, in accordance with the requirements of part 75 of this chapter, will be considered valid quality-assured data (retroactive to the date and time of provisional certification), provided that the Administrator does not invalidate the provisional certification by issuing a notice of disapproval within 120 days of the date of receipt of the complete certification application by the Administrator.
            (iv) Certification application approval process. 
               The Administrator will issue a written notice of approval or disapproval of the certification application to the owner or operator within 120 days of receipt of the complete certification application under paragraph (d)(3)(ii) of this section. In the event the Administrator does not issue such a notice within such 120-day period, each monitoring system that meets the applicable performance requirements of part 75 of this chapter and is included in the certification application will be deemed certified for use under the CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 2 Trading Program.
                  (A) Approval notice. 
                     If the certification application is complete and shows that each monitoring system meets the applicable performance requirements of part 75 of this chapter, then the Administrator will issue a written notice of approval of the certification application within 120 days of receipt.
                  (B) Incomplete application notice. 
                     If the certification application is not complete, then the Administrator will issue a written notice of incompleteness that sets a reasonable date by which the designated representative must submit the additional information required to complete the certification application. If the designated representative does not comply with the notice of incompleteness by the specified date, then the Administrator may issue a notice of disapproval under paragraph (d)(3)(iv)(C) of this section.
                  (C) Disapproval notice. 
                     If the certification application shows that any monitoring system does not meet the performance requirements of part 75 of this chapter or if the certification application is incomplete and the requirement for disapproval under paragraph (d)(3)(iv)(B) of this section is met, then the Administrator will issue a written notice of disapproval of the certification application. Upon issuance of such notice of disapproval, the provisional certification is invalidated by the Administrator and the data measured and recorded by each uncertified monitoring system shall not be considered valid quality-assured data beginning with the date and hour of provisional certification (as defined under § 75.20(a)(3) of this chapter).
                  (D) Audit decertification. 
                     The Administrator may issue a notice of disapproval of the certification status of a monitor in accordance with § 97.832(b).
            (v) Procedures for loss of certification. 
               If the Administrator issues a notice of disapproval of a certification application under paragraph (d)(3)(iv)(C) of this section or a notice of disapproval of certification status under paragraph (d)(3)(iv)(D) of this section, then:
                  (A) The owner or operator shall substitute the following values, for each disapproved monitoring system, for each hour of unit operation during the period of invalid data specified under § 75.20(a)(4)(iii), § 75.20(g)(7), or § 75.21(e) of this chapter and continuing until the applicable date and hour specified under § 75.20(a)(5)(i) or (g)(7) of this chapter:
                     (1) For a disapproved NOX emission rate (i.e., NOX-diluent) system, the maximum potential NOX emission rate, as defined in § 72.2 of this chapter.
                     (2) For a disapproved NOX pollutant concentration monitor and disapproved flow monitor, respectively, the maximum potential concentration of NOX and the maximum potential flow rate, as defined in sections 2.1.2.1 and 2.1.4.1 of appendix A to part 75 of this chapter.
                     (3) For a disapproved moisture monitoring system and disapproved diluent gas monitoring system, respectively, the minimum potential moisture percentage and either the maximum potential CO2 concentration or the minimum potential O2 concentration (as applicable), as defined in sections 2.1.5, 2.1.3.1, and 2.1.3.2 of appendix A to part 75 of this chapter.
                     (4) For a disapproved fuel flowmeter system, the maximum potential fuel flow rate, as defined in section 2.4.2.1 of appendix D to part 75 of this chapter.
                     (5) For a disapproved excepted NOX monitoring system under appendix E to part 75 of this chapter, the fuel-specific maximum potential NOX emission rate, as defined in § 72.2 of this chapter.
                  (B) The designated representative shall submit a notification of certification retest dates and a new certification application in accordance with paragraphs (d)(3)(i) and (ii) of this section.
                  (C) The owner or operator shall repeat all certification tests or other requirements that were failed by the monitoring system, as indicated in the Administrator's notice of disapproval, no later than 30 unit operating days after the date of issuance of the notice of disapproval.
   (e) The owner or operator of a unit qualified to use the low mass emissions (LME) excepted methodology under § 75.19 of this chapter shall meet the applicable certification and recertification requirements in §§ 75.19(a)(2) and 75.20(h) of this chapter. If the owner or operator of such a unit elects to certify a fuel flowmeter system for heat input determination, the owner or operator shall also meet the certification and recertification requirements in § 75.20(g) of this chapter.
   (f) The designated representative of each unit for which the owner or operator intends to use an alternative monitoring system approved by the Administrator under subpart E of part 75 of this chapter shall comply with the applicable notification and application procedures of § 75.20(f) of this chapter.
§ 97.832   Monitoring system out-of-control periods.
   (a) General provisions. 
      Whenever any monitoring system fails to meet the quality-assurance and quality-control requirements or data validation requirements of part 75 of this chapter, data shall be substituted using the applicable missing data procedures in subpart D or subpart H of, or appendix D or appendix E to, part 75 of this chapter.
   (b) Audit decertification. 
      Whenever both an audit of a monitoring system and a review of the initial certification or recertification application reveal that any monitoring system should not have been certified or recertified because it did not meet a particular performance specification or other requirement under § 97.831 or the applicable provisions of part 75 of this chapter, both at the time of the initial certification or recertification application submission and at the time of the audit, the Administrator will issue a notice of disapproval of the certification status of such monitoring system. For the purposes of this paragraph, an audit shall be either a field audit or an audit of any information submitted to the Administrator or any State or permitting authority. By issuing the notice of disapproval, the Administrator revokes prospectively the certification status of the monitoring system. The data measured and recorded by the monitoring system shall not be considered valid quality-assured data from the date of issuance of the notification of the revoked certification status until the date and time that the owner or operator completes subsequently approved initial certification or recertification tests for the monitoring system. The owner or operator shall follow the applicable initial certification or recertification procedures in § 97.831 for each disapproved monitoring system.
