Instructions for SO2 Allowance Offer Form (2021)
EPA Allowance Auctions (40 CFR 73.70 - 73.71)
EPA will hold auctions for spot and 7-year advance SO2 emission allowances on March 30, 2021. In the
spot auction, EPA will sell allowances first useable in 2021. In the 7-year advance auction, EPA will sell
allowances first useable for compliance in 2028. Any holder of allowances may contribute allowances dated 2021
or earlier, or 2028 to the EPA auctions. Allowances dated 2020 or earlier cannot be offered from facility
accounts until final compliance has been run for the 2020 compliance year. EPA will sell offered allowances
after selling the allowances from the EPA reserve. You may specify a minimum acceptable price for your
allowances, i.e., a price below which your allowances cannot be sold. Offered allowances must reside in your
CAMD Business System (CBS) account at the time EPA processes this form. Form questions should be
emailed to [email protected].
If you need more space, photocopy the pertinent page.
When you have completed the form, indicate the page
order and total number of pages (e.g., 1 of 4, 2 of 4,
etc.) on each page in the spaces provided at the top
right-hand corner of the page.
EPA will accept Acid Rain Program
submissions from either the authorized account
representative (AAR) or the alternate AAR.
If you need assistance, email [email protected]
STEP 2 A separate offer form is required for:
• each auction in which allowances are
offered, and
•separate offers with different minimum
prices.
(You may photocopy this form if you wish to
make multiple offers.)
STEP 3 List by serial number the allowances to be
offered. You may specify a block of allowances
having the same use year by entering the serial
number of the first allowance in the block in
"Start Number" and entering the serial number
of the last allowance in the block in "End
Number." Separate blocks having the same
use year must be entered on different lines.
• Enter the Start Number and End Number
in the appropriate columns.
• Enter the number of allowances to be
offered in the "Total" column.
• Verify the accuracy of your entries by
computing one of the following simple
equations reflecting the equivalent
relationships:
Start Number = End Number - Total + 1
or
End Number = Start Number + Total - 1
You will be prohibited from transferring the
allowances you have offered for sale before the
date of the auctions. If your allowances are not
sold in the auctions, EPA will lift the transfer
restriction on your offered allowances
immediately following the auctions.
STEP 4 You may specify a minimum sale price for your
allowances. If bid prices are below
this minimum, EPA will not sell your
allowances.
EPA Form 7610-8 (2-2021)
STEP 5 In the event that fewer allowances will be
sold than are offered, EPA will sell a portion
of your offered allowances to the bidder
unless you indicate on the form that you are
not willing to sell fewer allowances than the
total(s) listed in Step 3.
STEP 6 Include your 9-digit Taxpayer Identification
number (e.g., social security number), ABA
routing number, and bank account
information so the money can be wired to
your bank account if your allowances are
sold. EPA uses the Automated Clearing
House (ACH) payment system to make
distributions, so make sure the ABA routing
number is for ACH payments, not for wire
transfers.
