Proposed Part 204 NOx Budget Trading Program, Part 237 Acid Deposition Reduction NOx Budget Trading Program, Part 238 Acid Deposition Reduction SO2 Budget Trading Program, and Part 200 General Provisions

The Department intends to (1) repeal 6 NYCRR Part 204, NO_x Budget Trading Program, (2) render inoperative 6 NYCRR Part 237, Acid Deposition Reduction NO_x Budget Trading Program upon completion of the 2009-2010 control period, and (3) render inoperative 6 NYCRR Part 238, Acid Deposition Reduction SO₂ Budget Trading Program, upon completion of the 2010 control period. These rules have essentially been superseded by 6 NYCRR Part 243, CAIR NO_x Ozone Season Trading Program, 6 NYCRR Part 244, CAIR NO_x Annual Trading Program, and 6 NYCRR Part 245, CAIR SO₂ Trading Program (the NYS CAIR rules). These proposed regulatory revisions will prevent affected sources from needing to comply with duplicative programs.

The NYS CAIR rules have superseded Parts 204, 237, and 238. By repealing Part 204 and revising Parts 237 and 238 so that they become inoperative upon the completion of the 2009-2010 control periods, the Department will be removing redundant programs while continuing to control emissions of NO_x and SO₂ which contribute to local and regional nonattainment of the ozone and PM_2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).
