Under the Acid Rain Program and the NOx Budget Trading Program, anyone can trade allowances, including members of the general public without any affiliation with a regulated source. Some individuals and groups purchase allowances as an environmental statement, because withholding allowances from the market prevents those allowances from being used by utilities.

To buy and sell allowances, anyone can open a general allowance account. Under the Acid Rain Program and the NOx Budget Trading Program, the owner of such an account is called the Authorized Account Representative.
