After exiting the EPS program, are we still entitled to apply to access any notional allocations we have remitted (EEUs) in the Emission Performance Program in the future should an emission reduction project or study become feasible?

If the Federal Carbon charge is reintroduced would facilities be able to opt back into the EPS in sync with federal regulatory changes without having to wait 5 years?

We are a steel manufacturing facility and a voluntary participant in the EPS. The U.S. steel tariffs are punishing us severely with customers cancelling orders and having to lay off more than 100 employees.
Is there any possibility that a regulation amendment could forgive or rebate any compliance obligations between Jan 1-March 31 2025 when we exit the EPS program this year?
