5 2 The length of time allowances are distributed to sources varies between a range of 3 and 10 years. 3 The number of years allocations are distributed varies between 3 years and 10 years. Most states follow the federal schedule. 4 EPA means from , 95/5% split between existing and new units. From 2015>, the split is reduced to 97/3%. Unused new source credits distributed to existing units. 5 Take FIP means that the state intends to not submit a federal plan. Therefore, the federal rule in 40 CFR Part 62, Subpart LLL (AKA Federal Implementation Plan or FIP) when adopted by EPA will apply in that state. The allowance distribution scenario is the same as it is in Endnote 1 above. Washington State Dept. of Ecology June 1,
