For each control period in 2021 and thereafter for a State listed in §52.38(b)(2)(iii)(A) of this chapter, or 2023 and thereafter for a State listed in §52.38(b)(2)(iii)(B) or (C) of this chapter, and for the CSAPR NO X Ozone Season Group 3 units in each State and areas of Indian country within the borders of the State (except, for the control periods in 2021 and 2022, areas of Indian country within the borders of the State not subject to the State's SIP authority), the Administrator will allocate CSAPR NO X Ozone Season Group 3 allowances to the CSAPR NO X Ozone Season Group 3 units as follows:
(1) The CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 allowances will be allocated to the following CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 units, except as provided in paragraph (a)(10) of this section:
(i) CSAPR NO X Ozone Season Group 3 units that are not allocated an amount of CSAPR NO X Ozone Season Group 3 allowances for such control period in the applicable notice of data availability referenced in §97.1011(a)(1) or (2) and that have deadlines for certification of monitoring systems under §97.1030(b) not later than September 30 of the year of the control period; or
(ii) CSAPR NO X Ozone Season Group 3 units whose allocation of an amount of CSAPR NO X Ozone Season Group 3 allowances for such control period in the applicable notice of data availability referenced in §97.1011(a)(1) or (2) is covered by §97.1011(c)(2) or (3).
(2) The Administrator will establish a separate new unit set-aside for the State for each such control period. Each such new unit set-aside will be allocated CSAPR NO X Ozone Season Group 3 allowances in an amount equal to the applicable amount of tons of NO X emissions as set forth in §97.1010(c) and will be allocated additional CSAPR NO X Ozone Season Group 3 allowances (if any) in accordance with §97.1011(c)(5) and paragraphs (b)(10) and (c)(5) of this section.
(3) The Administrator will determine, for each CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 unit described in paragraph (a)(1) of this section, an allocation of CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 allowances for the latest of the following control periods and for each subsequent control period:
(i) The control period in 2021, for a State listed in §52.38(b)(2)(iii)(A) of this chapter, or the control period in 2023, for a State listed in §52.38(b)(2)(iii)(B) or (C) of this chapter;
(ii) The control period containing the deadline for certification of the CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Group 3 unit's monitoring systems under §97.1030(b);
