Market Trading Forum: Emission and Allowance Tracking System

The purpose of this project is to conceptually design (approximately 20 pages) a computerized system of tracking emissions and allowances for use in the SO2 emissions trading program, in the event the program is triggered by industrial sources not voluntarily meeting the emission milestones in Section 309 of the regional haze rule. Incorporation of the design document into the Section 309 SIPs and TIPs (as required by 309(h)(4)(v)) will ensure that states and tribes are aware of (and prepared for) the system requirements, and it will expedite implementation of the tracking system if the milestones are exceeded.
