TEMPORARY RULES
23:13 NORTH CAROLINA REGISTER JANUARY 2, 2009
1212
Note from the Codifier: The rules published in this Section of the NC Register are temporary rules reviewed and approved by the
Rules Review Commission (RRC) and have been delivered to the Codifier of Rules for entry into the North Carolina Administrative
Code. A temporary rule expires on the 270th day from publication in the Register unless the agency submits the permanent rule to the
Rules Review Commission by the 270th day.
This section of the Register may also include, from time to time, a listing of temporary rules that have expired. See G.S. 150B-21.1
and 26 NCAC 02C .0500 for adoption and filing requirements.
TITLE 15A – DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND
NATURAL RESOURCES
Rule-making Agency: Environmental Management
Commission
Rule Citation: 15A NCAC 02D .1402, .1404, .1407-.1411,
.1416-.1422
Effective Date: December 31, 2008
Date Approved by the Rules Review Commission: November
20, 2008
Reason for Action: Temporary rules are proposed to amend
the Nitrogen Oxide (NOX) State Implementation Plan (SIP) Call
Rules in the 15A NCAC 02D .1400 Section for the year 2009 and
beyond. On May 12, 2005, the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA) promulgated the Clean Air
Interstate Rule (CAIR). CAIR established annual and ozone
season NOX emission budgets. The CAIR ozone season NOX
emission budget program was to replace the NOX SIP Call ozone
season program. NC's adoption of CAIR became effective on
May 1, 2008. NC's repeal of the NOX SIP call rules was
approved on May 15, 2008. Those repeals become effective on
January 1, 2009 (the date the CAIR rules were to take over). On
July 11, 2008, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the District of Columbia unanimously vacated CAIR in its
entirety and remanded the rules to USEPA for revision
consistent with the Court's opinion. Temporary rules are being
proposed to supersede the repeals and associated amendments
that would otherwise become effective on January 1, 2009 in
order to ensure there is no gap in the NOX regulatory program
in NC for NOX SIP call sources. These Temporary Rules include
unit-level ozone season NOX allocations for 2009 that are the
same as the 2008 allocations. Temporary Rules also include
modifications to ensure their validity for the year 2009 and
beyond. For example, allocations for new growth of major point
sources are included for the year 2009 and beyond in Rule 15A
NCAC 02D .1421. Should the Court mandate vacatur of CAIR
as indicated in its original opinion, upon effective date of the
repeal of the NOX SIP Call rules January 1, 2009, there would
be a gap in North Carolina's NOX management program. There
would be no NOX SIP Call rules remaining since they have
already been repealed (effective January 1, 2009) in anticipation
of the beginning of the CAIR program. The standard rulemaking
process did not allow enough time to develop permanent rules
and have them approved and become effective between the time
of the vacatur (July 11, 2008) and the end of 2008 in order to
avoid a gap in the program for 2009 when the otherwise
repealed rules will disappear. Timing of the temporary
rulemaking process does allow the possibility of avoiding a gap
in North Carolina's NOX management program rules.
CHAPTER 02 – ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
SUBCHAPTER 02D - AIR POLLUTION CONTROL
REQUIREMENTS
SECTION .1400 - NITROGEN OXIDES
15A NCAC 02D .1402 APPLICABILITY
(a) The rules in this Section do not apply except as specifically
set out in this Rule. In the event that the U.S. Circuit Court does

facilities in Forsyth County, the Director of the Forsyth County
local air pollution control program.) Compliance shall be
according to Rule .1403 of this Section.
(f) If a violation of the ambient air quality standard for ozone is
measured according to 40 CFR 50.9 in Durham or Wake County
or Dutchville Township in Granville County, the Director shall
initiate analysis to determine the control measures needed to
attain and maintain the ambient air quality standard for ozone.
By the following May 1, the Director shall implement the
specific stationary source control measures contained in this
Section that are required as part of the control strategy necessary
to bring the area into compliance and to maintain compliance

greater than the emissions being offset. Only actual decreased
emissions that have not previously been relied on to comply with
Subchapter 02D or 02Q of this Title or Title 40 of the Code of
Federal Regulations may be used to offset the emissions of
another source. The person requesting the offset shall submit the
following information to the Director:
(1) identification of the source, including permit
number, providing the offset and what the new
allowable emission rate for the source will be;
(2) identification of the source, including permit
number, receiving the offset and what the new
allowable emission rate for the source will be;
(3) the amount of allowable emissions in tons per
ozone season being offset;

TEMPORARY RULES
23:13 NORTH CAROLINA REGISTER JANUARY 2, 2009
1222
(c) Posting of emission allocation. The Director shall post the emission allocations for sources covered under this Rule on the
Division’s web page.
(d) Trading. Sources shall comply with the requirements of this Rule using the nitrogen oxide budget trading program set out in Rule
.1419 of this Section.
(e) Monitoring. The owner or operator of a source subject to this Rule shall show compliance using a continuous emission monitor
that meets the requirements of 40 CFR Part 75, Subpart H, with such exceptions as allowed under 40 CFR Part 75, Subpart H or 40
CFR Part 96.
(f) Operation of control devices. All emission control devices and techniques installed to comply with this Rule shall be operated
during the ozone season in the manner in which they are designed and permitted to be operated.
(g) Days of violations. For the purposes of this Rule, the number of days of violation for a source shall be determined after the end of
the ozone season as follows:
(1) To the source's allocation in this Rule, the allocations acquired before December 1 of that year under Rule .1419 of
this Section are added and the allocations transferred before December 1 of that year under Rule .1419 of this
Section are subtracted.
(2) The value calculated under Subparagraph (1) of this Paragraph is compared to the actual emissions from the source
for the ozone season. If the value calculated under Subparagraph (1) of this Paragraph is greater than or equal to the
actual emissions from the source for the ozone season, the source is in compliance. If the value calculated under
Subparagraph (1) of this Paragraph is less than the actual emissions from the source for the ozone season, the source
is not in compliance.
(3) If the source is not in compliance, beginning with September 30, the actual emissions for that day and each
preceding day are subtracted from the actual emissions for the ozone season until the value calculated under
Subparagraph (1) of this Paragraph is greater than or equal to the actual emissions. Each day that the source operated
after this day to September 30 is a day of violation.
(h) Modification and reconstruction. The modification or reconstruction of a source covered under this Rule shall not make that
source a "new" source under this Rule. A source that is modified or reconstructed shall retain its emission allocations under Paragraph
(a) or (b) of this Rule.
(i) Additional controls. The Environmental Management Commission may specify through rulemaking a specific emission limit
lower than that established under this Rule for a specific source if compliance with the lower emission limit is required as part of the
State Implementation Plan to attain or maintain the ambient air quality standard for ozone.

15A NCAC 02D .1417 EMISSION ALLOCATIONS FOR LARGE COMBUSTION SOURCES
(a) Applicability. This Rule applies to the sources listed in Paragraph (b) of this Rule or to the following types of sources that are
permitted before November 1, 2000, and are not covered under Rule .1416 of this Section:
(1) fossil fuel-fired stationary boilers, combustion turbines, or combined cycle systems serving a generator with a
nameplate capacity greater than 25 megawatts electrical and selling any amount of electricity; or
(2) fossil fuel-fired stationary boilers, combustion turbines, or combined cycle systems having a maximum design heat
input greater than 250 million Btu per hour that are not covered under Subparagraph (1) of this Paragraph.
(b) Initial emission allocations.
(1) After November 1, 2000 but before the EPA promulgation of revisions to 40 CFR Part 51, Subpart G, revising the
nitrogen oxide budget for North Carolina, the emission allocations in the tables in this Subparagraph shall apply.
Except as allowed under Paragraph (d) of this Rule, sources named in the tables in this Subparagraph shall not
exceed during the ozone season the nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission allocations in the tables until revised according to
Rule .1420 of this Section:

(3) Any source covered under this Rule but not
listed in Subparagraph (b)(1) or (2) of this
Paragraph shall have a nitrogen oxide emission
allocation of zero tons per season during the
ozone season.
(c) Posting of emission allocations. The Director shall post the
emission allocations for sources covered under this Rule on the
Division’s web page.
(d) Trading. Sources shall comply with the requirements of this
Rule using the nitrogen oxide budget trading program set out in
Rule .1419 of this Section.
(e) Monitoring. The owner or operator of a source subject to this
Rule shall show compliance using a continuous emission
monitor that meets the requirements of Rule .1404(d) of this
Section.
(f) Operation of control devices. All emission control devices
and techniques installed to comply with this Rule shall be
operated beginning May 1 through September 30 in the manner
in which they are designed and permitted to be operated.
(g) Days of violations. For the purposes of this Rule, the
number of days of violation for a source shall be determined
after the end of the ozone season as follows:
(1) To the source's allocation in this Rule, the
allocations acquired before December 1 of that
year under Rule .1419 of this Section are
added and the allocations transferred before
December 1 of that year under Rule .1419 of
this Section are subtracted.
(2) The value calculated under Subparagraph (1)
of this Paragraph is compared to the actual
emissions from the source for the ozone
season. If the value calculated under
Subparagraph (1) of this Paragraph is greater
than or equal to the actual emissions from the
source for the ozone season, the source is in
compliance. If the value calculated under
Subparagraph (1) of this Paragraph is less than
the actual emissions from the source for the
ozone season, the source is not in compliance.
(3) If the source is not in compliance, beginning
with September 30, the actual emissions for
that day and each preceding day are subtracted
from the actual emissions for the ozone season
until the value calculated under Subparagraph
(1) of this Paragraph is greater than or equal to
the actual emissions. Each day that the source
operated after this day to September 30 is a
day of violation.
(h) Modification and reconstruction, replacement, retirement, or
change of ownership. The modification or reconstruction of a
source covered under this Rule shall not make that source a
"new" source under this Rule. A source that is modified or
reconstructed shall retain its emission allocation under Paragraph
(b) of this Rule. If one or more sources covered under this Rule
is replaced, the new source shall receive the allocation of the
source, or sources, that it replaced instead of an allocation under
Rule .1421 of this Section. If the owner of a source changes, the
emission allocations under this Rule and revised emission
allocations made under Rule .1420 of this Section shall remain
with the source. If a source is retired, the owner or operator of
the source shall follow the procedures in 40 CFR 96.5. The
allocations of a retired source shall remain with the owner or
operator of the retired source until a reallocation occurs under
TEMPORARY RULES
23:13 NORTH CAROLINA REGISTER JANUARY 2, 2009
1231
Rule .1420 of this Section when the allocation shall be removed
and given to other sources if the retired source is still retired.
(i) Additional controls. The Environmental Management
Commission may specify through rulemaking a specific
emission limit lower than that established under this Rule for a
specific source if compliance with the lower emission limit is
required as part of the State Implementation Plan to attain or
maintain the ambient air quality standard for ozone.

15A NCAC 02D .1421 ALLOCATIONS FOR NEW
GROWTH OF MAJOR POINT SOURCES
(a) Purpose. The purpose of this Rule is to establish an allocation
pool from which emission allocations of nitrogen oxides may be
allocated to sources permitted after October 31, 2000.
(b) Eligibility. This Rule applies only to the following types of
sources covered under Rule .1418 of this Section, and permitted
after October 31, 2000:
(1) fossil fuel-fired stationary boilers, combustion
turbines, or combined cycle systems serving a
generator with a nameplate capacity greater
than 25 megawatts electrical and selling any
amount of electricity; or
(2) fossil fuel-fired stationary boilers, combustion
turbines, or combined cycle systems having a
maximum design heat input greater than 250
million Btu per hour that are not covered
under Subparagraph (1) of this Paragraph;
(c) Requesting allocation. To receive emission allocations under
this Rule, the owner or operator of the source shall provide the
following written documentation to the Director before January
1 of the year preceding the ozone season for which the emission
allocation is sought:
(1) a description of the combustion source or
sources including heat input;
(2) evidence that the source complies with the
emission limit under Rule .1418 of this
Section;
(3) an estimate of the actual emissions of nitrogen
oxides in tons per ozone season;
(4) the expected hours of operation during the
ozone season;
(5) the date on which the source is expected to
begin operating if it is not already operating;
(6) the tons per ozone season of emission
allocations being requested (the amount
requested shall be the lesser of the estimated
actual emissions under Subparagraph (3) of
this Paragraph or the product of the emission
limit under Rule .1418 of this Section times
the maximum design heat input in millions of
Btu per hour times the number of hours that
the source is projected to operate (not to
exceed 3672 hours) divided by 2000); and
(7) a description of the monitoring, recordkeeping,
and reporting plan that will assure continued
compliance.
(d) Approving requests. The Director shall approve a request for
emissions allocation if he finds that:
(1) All the information and documentation
required under Paragraph (c) of this Rule has
been submitted;
(2) The request was received before January 1;
(3) The source is eligible for emission allocations
under this Rule;
(4) The source complies with Rule .1418 of this
Section;
(5) The requested emission allocations do not
exceed the estimated actual emissions of
nitrogen oxides;
(6) The source has or is likely to have an air
quality permit before the end of the upcoming
ozone season; and
(7) The source is operating or is scheduled to
begin operating before the end of the
upcoming ozone season.
(e) Preliminary allocations. By March 1 before each ozone
season, the Director shall have calculated and posted on the
Division's web page preliminary emission allocations for sources
whose requests under this Rule he has approved. Preliminary
emission allocations shall be determined as follows:
(1) If the emission allocations requested do not
exceed the amount in the pool, each source
TEMPORARY RULES
23:13 NORTH CAROLINA REGISTER JANUARY 2, 2009
1234
shall have a preliminary allocation equal to its
request.
(2) If the emission allocations requested exceed
the amount in the pool, each source's emission
allocations shall be calculated as follows:
(A) For each source, its maximum design
heat input in millions of Btu per hour
is multiplied by the number of hours
that the source is projected to operate
not to exceed 3672 hours; this
product is the source’s seasonal heat
input;
(B) The seasonal heat inputs calculated
under Part (A) of this Subparagraph
are summed.
(C) For each source, its seasonal heat
input calculated under Part (A) of this
Subparagraph is multiplied by the
tons of emission allocations in the
allocation pool and divided by the
sum of seasonal heat inputs
calculated under Part (B) of this
Subparagraph; this amount is the
source’s preliminary emission
allocations.
The preliminary emission allocations computed under this
Paragraph may be revised under Paragraph (f) of this Rule after
the ozone season. Emissions allocations issued under this
Paragraph are solely for planning purposes and are not reported
to the EPA to be recorded in allowance tracking system account.
The emission allocations granted under Paragraph (f) of this
Rule shall be the emission allocations granted the source to
offset its emissions.
(f) Final allocations. According to Paragraph (g) of this Rule,
the Director shall grant emission allocations for each source for
which he has approved an allocation from the allocation pool as
follows:
(1) For each individual source, its allowable
emission rate under Rule .1418 of this Section
is multiplied by its heat input during the ozone
season. This product is divided by 2000.
(2) The lesser of the source’s actual emissions of
nitrogen oxides, the value calculated under
Subparagraph (1) of this Paragraph, or the
preliminary emission allocations determined
under Paragraph (e) of this Rule shall be the
source’s emission allocation from the
allocation pool.
Emissions allocations granted under this Paragraph are reported
to the EPA to be recorded in allowance tracking system account.
(g) Issuance of final allocations. By November 1 following each
ozone season, the Director shall issue final allocations according
to Paragraph (f) of this Rule and shall notify each source that
receives an allocation of the amount of allocation that it has been
granted. By November 1 following the ozone season, the
Director shall also notify the EPA of allocations issued and to
whom they have been issued and the amount issued to each
source. The Director shall post the final allocations on the
Division’s web page.
(h) Allocation pool.
(1) Before the EPA promulgation of revisions
after November 1, 2000, to 40 CFR Part 51,
Subpart G, revising the nitrogen oxide budget
for North Carolina, the allocation pool shall
contain the following:
(A) in 2004, 122 tons,
(B) in 2005, 599 tons plus emission
allocations carried over from the
previous year;
(C) in 2006, 505 tons plus emission
allocations carried over from the
previous year; and
(D) in 2007, 1,058 tons plus emission
allocations carried over from the
previous year.
(2) After the EPA promulgates revisions after
November 1, 2000, to 40 CFR Part 51, Subpart
G, revising the nitrogen oxide budget for
North Carolina, the allocation pool shall
contain the following:
(A) in 2004, 122 tons,
(B) in 2005, 78 tons plus emission
allocations carried over from the
previous year;
(C) in 2006, 1117 tons plus emission
allocations carried over from the
previous year; and
(D) in 2007, in 2007 and each year
thereafter through 2009, 1670 tons
plus emission allocations carried over
from the previous year.
(i) Changes in the allocation pool. By July 1, 2006,June 28,
2009, the Commission shall begin to develop and adopt through
rulemaking allocations for 20082010 and later years.
(j) Carryover. Emission allocations remaining in the allocation
pool at the end of the year shall be carried over into the next year
for use during the next ozone season.
(k) Future requests. Once the owner or operator of a source has
made a request under this Rule for emission allocations from the
allocation pool, he does not have to request emission allocations
under this Rule in future years. The request shall automatically
be included in following years as long as the source remains
eligible for emission allocations under this Rule.
(l) Loss of eligibility. Once a source receives emission
allocations under Rule .1420 of this Section, it shall no longer be
eligible for emission allocations under this Rule.
(m) Use of allocation. Allocations granted under this rule apply
only to the ozone season immediately preceding the issuance of
final allocations under Paragraph (g) of this Rule. Allocations
issued under Paragraph (g) of this Rule for use in one year do
not carry forward into any following ozone season. Allocations
granted under this Rule shall be calculated for each ozone
season.

15A NCAC 02D .1422 COMPLIANCE SUPPLEMENT
POOL CREDITS
(a) Purpose. The purpose of this Rule is to regulate North
Carolina’s eligibility for and use of the Compliance Supplement
Pool under 40 CFR 51.121(e)(3).
(b) Eligibility. Sources covered under Rule .1416 of this Section
may earn Compliance Supplement Pool Credits for those
nitrogen oxide emissions reductions required by Rule .1416 of
this Section that are achieved during the ozone season after
September 30, 1999 and are demonstrated using baseline and
current emissions determined according to 40 CFR Part 75
before May 1, 2003, and are beyond the total emission
reductions required under 40 CFR Part 76 or any other provision
of the federal Clean Air Act.
(c) Credits. The Compliance Supplement Pool Credits earned
under this Rule shall be tabulated in tons of nitrogen oxides
reduced per ozone season. The control device, modification, or
change in operational practice that enables the combustion
source or sources to achieve the emissions reductions shall be
permitted. The facility shall provide the Division of Air Quality
with written notification certifying the installation and operation
of the control device or the modification or change in
operational practice that enables the combustion source or
sources to achieve the emissions reduction. Only
emissionemissions reductions that are beyond emissionemissions
reductions required under 40 CFR Part 76 or any other provision
of the federal Clean Air Act are creditable Compliance
Supplement Pool Credits. Credits are counted in successive
seasons through May 1, 2003. Seasonal credits shall be recorded
in a Division of Air Quality database and will accumulate in this
database until May 1, 2003. At that point a cumulative total of
all the Compliance Supplement Pool Credits earned during the
entire period shall be tabulated. These credits will then be
available for use by the State of North Carolina to achieve
compliance with the State ozone season NOx budget.
(d) Requesting credits. In order to earn Compliance Supplement
Pool Credits, the owner or operator of the facility shall provide
the following written documentation to the Director before
January 1, 2003.
(1) the combustion source or sources involved in
the emissions reduction;
(2) the start date of the emissions reduction;
(3) a description of the add-on control device,
modification, or change in operational practice
that enables the combustion source or sources
to achieve the emissions reduction;
(4) the current and baseline emissions of nitrogen
oxides of the combustion source or sources
involved in this reduction in terms of tons of
nitrogen oxides per season;
(5) the amount of reduction of emissions of
nitrogen oxides achieved by this action in tons
of nitrogen oxides per season per combustion
source involved;
(6) the total reduction of nitrogen oxides achieved
by this action in tons of nitrogen oxides per
season for all the combustion sources
involved;
(7) a demonstration that the proposed action has
reduced the emissions of nitrogen oxides from
the combustion sources involved by the
amount specified in Subparagraphs (d)(5) and
(d)(6) of this Rule; and
(8) a description of the monitoring, recordkeeping,
and reporting plan used to ensure continued
compliance with the proposed emissions
reduction activity; continuous emissions
monitors shall be used to monitor emissions.
(e) Approving requests. Before any Compliance Supplement
Pool Credits can be allocated, the Director shall have to approve
them. The Director shall approve credits if he finds that:
(1) early emissions reductions are demonstrated
using baseline and current emissions
determined according to 40 CFR Part 75 to be
beyond the reductions required under 40 CFR
Part 76, Acid Rain Nitrogen Oxides Emission
Reduction Program and any other requirement
of the federal Clean Air Act;
(2) the emission reductions are achieved after
September 30, 1999, and before May 1, 2003,
and
(3) all the information and documentation
required under Paragraph (d) have been
submitted.
The Director shall notify the owner or operator of the source and
EPA of his approval or disapproval of a request and of the
amount of Compliance Supplement Pool Credits approved. If the
Director disapproves a request or part of a request, he shall
explain in writing to the owner or operator of the source the
reasons for disapproval.
(f) Compliance supplement pool. The Director shall verify that
the Compliance Supplement Pool Credits do not exceed a
statewide total of 10,737 tons for all the ozone seasons of the
years 2003, 2004, and 2005.
(g) Interim report. The owner or operators of the facility shall
submit to the Director by January 1, 2001 and January 1, 2002
an interim report that contains the information in Paragraph (d)
of this Rule for the previous ozone season.
(h) Recording credits. Based on the interim reports submitted
under Paragraph (g) of this Rule, the Division shall record the
Compliance Supplement Pool Credits earned under this Rule in a
central database. The Division of Air Quality shall maintain this
database. These credits shall be recorded in tons of emissions of
nitrogen oxides reduced per season with the actual start date of
the reduction activity. Based on the final formal request
submitted under Paragraph (d) of this Rule as approved under
Paragraph (e) of this Rule, the Director shall finalize the
Compliance Supplement Pool Credits earned and record the final
earned credits in the Division’s database.
(i) Use of credits. Final earned Compliance Supplement Pool
Credits shall be available for Carolina Power & Light Co. and
Duke Power Co. to use in 2003. The allocations of Carolina
Power & Light Co.'s sources and Duke Power Co.’s sources in
TEMPORARY RULES
23:13 NORTH CAROLINA REGISTER JANUARY 2, 2009
1236
Rule .1416 of this Section shall be reduced for 2004 or 2005 by
the amount of Compliance Supplement Pool Credits used in
2003 using the procedures in Paragraph (k) of this Rule.
Compliance Supplement Pool Credits not used in 2003 shall be
available for use by the Director of the Division of Air Quality
to offset excess emissions of nitrogen oxides in order to achieve
compliance with the North Carolina ozone season NOx budget
after May 30, 2004, but no later than September 30, 2005. The
credits shall be used on a one for one basis, that is, one ton per
season of credit can be used to offset one ton, or less, per season
of excess emissions to achieve compliance with the requirements
of Rule .1416 or .1417 of this Section. All credits shall expire
and will no longer be available for use after November 30, 2005.
(j) Reporting. The Director shall report:
(1) to the EPA, Carolina Power & Light Co. and
Duke Power Co. by
(A) March 1, 2003 the Compliance
Supplement Pool Credits earned by
Carolina Power & Light Co. and by
Duke Power Co., and
(B) March 1, 2004 the reductions in
allocations calculated under
Paragraphs (k) and (l) of this Rule;
and
(2) to the EPA by:
(A) December 1, 2003, the Compliance
Supplement Pool Credits used
beginning May 1 through September
30, 2003,
(B) December 1, 2004, the Compliance
Supplement Pool Credits used
beginning May 31 through September
30, 2004, and
(C) December 1, 2005, the Compliance
Supplement Pool Credits used
beginning May 1 through September
30, 2005.
(k) Using Compliance Supplement Pool Credits in 2003.
Carolina Power & Light Co. and Duke Power Co. may use
Compliance Supplement Pool Credits in 2003. If they do use
Compliance Supplement Pool Credits in 2003, then the
allocations for their sources in Rule .1416 of this Section shall
be reduced for 2004 or 2005 by the amount of Compliance
Supplement Pool Credits used in 2003. Before the Director
approves the use of Compliance Supplement Pool Credits in
2003, the company shall identify the sources whose allocations
are to be reduced to offset the Compliance Supplement Pool
Credits requested for 2003 and the year (2004 or 2005) in which
the allocation is reduced. The Director shall approve no more
than 4,295 tons for Carolina Power & Light Co. and no more
than 6,442 tons for Duke Power Co. The Director shall approve
no more than 5,771 tons being offset by reductions in allocations
in 2004 and no more than 4,966 tons being offset by reductions
in allocations in 2005.
(l) Failure to receive sufficient credits. If the sum of
Compliance Supplement Pool Credits received by Carolina
Power & Light Co. and Duke Power Co. are is less than 10,737
tons, the following procedure shall be used to reduce the
allocations in Rule .1416 of this Section:
(1) If the Compliance Supplement Pool Credits
received by Carolina Power & Light Co. are
less than 4,295 tons, and the Compliance
Supplement Pool Credits received by Duke
Power Co. are greater than or equal to 6,442
tons, the allocation for Carolina Power &
Light Co.’s sources shall be reduced by the
amount obtained by subtracting from 10,737
tons the sum of Compliance Supplement Pool
Credits received by Carolina Power & Light
Co. and Duke Power Co. The allocations of
Carolina Power & Light Co.’s sources shall be
reduced using the procedure in Subparagraph
(4) of this Paragraph.
(2) If the Compliance Supplement Pool Credits
received by Duke Power Co. are less than
6,442 tons, and the Compliance Supplement
Pool Credits received by Carolina Power &
Light Co. are greater than or equal to 4,295
tons, the allocation for Duke Power Co.'s
sources shall be reduced by the amount
obtained by subtracting from 10,737 tons the
sum of Compliance Supplement Pool Credits
received by Carolina Power & Light Co. and
Duke Power Co. The allocations of Duke
Power Co.'s sources shall be reduced using the
procedure in Subparagraph (4) of this
Paragraph.
(3) If the Compliance Supplement Pool Credits
received by Carolina Power & Light Co. are
less than 4,295 tons, and the Compliance
Supplement Pool Credits received by Duke
Power Co. are less than 6,442 tons:
(A) The allocation for Carolina Power &
Light Co.'s sources shall be reduced
by the amount obtained by
subtracting from 4,295 tons the
Compliance Supplement Pool Credits
received by Carolina Power & Light
Co. The allocations of Carolina
Power & Light Co.'s sources shall be
reduced using the procedure in
Subparagraph (4) of this Paragraph;
and
(B) The allocation for Duke Power Co.'s
sources shall be reduced by the
amount obtained by subtracting from
6,442 tons the Compliance
Supplement Pool Credits received by
Duke Power Co. The allocations of
Duke Power Co.’s sources shall be
reduced using the procedure in
Subparagraph (4) of this Paragraph.
(4) When the allocations in Rule .1416 of this
Section for Carolina Power & Light Co.’s
sources or for Duke Power Co.’s sources are
required to be reduced, the following
procedure shall be used:
TEMPORARY RULES
23:13 NORTH CAROLINA REGISTER JANUARY 2, 2009
1237
(A) If the reduction required is less than
or equal to 4,966 tons, then the
following procedure shall be used:
(i) The allocationallocations of
all sources listed in Rule
.1416 of this Section for
2005 for Carolina Power &
Light Co. or Duke Power
Co. are summed.
(ii) The reduction required under
Subparagraph (1), (2), or (3)
of this Paragraph is
subtracted from the sum
computed under Subpart (i)
of this Part.
(iii) The allocation of each
source listed in Rule .1416
of this Section for 2005 for
Carolina Power & Light Co.
or Duke Power Co. is
multiplied by the value
computed under Subpart (ii)
of this Part and divided by
the value computed under
Subpart (i) of this Part. The
result is the revised
allocation for that source.
(B) If the reduction required is more than
4,966 tons, then the following
procedure shall be used:
(i) The reduction for the
allocations for 2005 is
determined using the
procedure under Part (A) of
this Subparagraph and
substituting 4,966 as the
reduction required under
Subpart (A)(ii) of this
Subparagraph.
(ii) The reduction for the
allocations for 2004 shall be
determined using the
following procedure:
(I) The reduction
required under

TITLE 26 – OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATIVE HEARINGS
Rule-making Agency: Office of Administrative Hearings
Rule Citation: 26 NCAC 03 .0401-.0403
Effective Date: December 2, 2008
Date Approved by the Rules Review Commission: November
20, 2008
Reason for Action: Section 10.15A(h2) provides "(2) Simple
Procedures...in order to complete the case as quickly as
possibly." Federal guidelines require that these cases be
decided within 90 days from the filing of the petition, including
the final agency decision. Therefore, the normal timeframes fro
hearings with OAH are considerably shortened. The simplified
procedures will allow OAH to rapidly proceed to hearing in an
expeditious manner while safeguarding the procedural and
substantive due process rights of the parties to an impartial
hearing. The Office of Administrative Hearings is responsible
for hearing cases effective October 1, 2008 and these rules
govern the procedures for those cases.
