Instructions for Allowance Deduction Form
(Optional)
The Acid Rain Program and Cross State Air Pollution Rule Trading Programs (CSAPR NOX Annual, CSAPR
SO2 Group 1, CSAPR SO2 Group 2, CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 1, and CSAPR NOX Ozone Season
Group 2) regulations allow for the identification of allowances to be deducted for compliance. The form
must be submitted by March 1 of the year after the compliance period for all programs.
You are encouraged to use the CAMD Business System (CBS) to submit allowance deductions online.
To register for CBS, go to http://www.epa.gov/airmarkets/participants/business/index.html.


If you need more space, photocopy page one. When you have completed the form, indicate the page
order

and total number of pages (e.g., 1 of 4, 2 of 4, etc.) in the spaces provided in the upper right hand
corner of

each page.


Either the designated representative (DR) or the alternate DR may sign this form.
Step 1 Make sure you select the correct allowance program. Only check one box. If you want to deduct


allowances under more than one program, submit a separate form for each program.


Step 2 Enter the Compliance Year, the Compliance Account Number of the facility (i.e., plant) from which
allowances are to be deducted, and the Facility Name.


Step 3 List by serial number the allowances to be deducted. You may specify single allowances or a
series of allowances. In the total column, enter the total number of allowances to be deducted.


Verify the accuracy of your entries by computing one of the following simple equations:



Start Number = End Number - Total + 1
or
End Number = Start Number + Total - 1
NOTE: If the serial number range does not correspond with the figure for the total number of
allowances, then EPA will rely on the serial number range and not the total number.
You may copy the form to list additional allowances to be deducted. When you have completed the form,
for each compliance account number indicate the page order and total number of pages (e.g., 1 of 4, 2 of
4, etc.) in the boxes in the upper right hand corner of each page.
The allowance year of the allowances to be deducted must be the same as, or a year prior to, the
compliance year listed in Step 1.
If you do not identify enough allowances by serial number, EPA will deduct any additional allowances
necessary on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis starting with those allowances that were originally allocated to
the source starting with the earliest date of recordation into the compliance account, followed by any
allowances transferred into the compliance account in order of recordation.
If you identify more than enough allowances, EPA will deduct the allowances in the order listed on the
form. EPA will not deduct more allowances than necessary for compliance.
Step 4

Read the Certifications, sign, and date.
