rule to approve revisions to the
Maryland State Implementation Plan
(SIP). The revisions amended
Maryland’s transportation conformity
regulations and general conformity
regulations. EPA’s approval did not
include Maryland’s regulation regarding
conflict resolution associated with
conformity determinations (COMAR
26.11.26.06). EPA has determined that it
cannot proceed with approval of these
SIP revisions until and unless it also
approves Maryland’s regulation
regarding conflict resolution associated
with conformity determinations.

ACTION: Direct final rule.
AGENCY:
The EPA is taking direct final
action to approve revisions to the New
Mexico State Implementation Plan (SIP).
These revisions concern two separate
actions. First, we are approving
revisions to regulations on Emission
Inventories (EIs) submitted by stationary
sources of air pollutants. EIs are critical
for the efforts of state, local, and federal
agencies to attain and maintain the

National Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS) that EPA has established for
criteria pollutants such as ozone,
particulate matter, and carbon
monoxide. The revisions add new
definitions; modify existing definitions;
and require stationary sources of air
pollutants located in New Mexico
outside of Bernalillo County to report
emissions location information, PM2.5
emissions, and ammonia emissions to
New Mexico Environment Department
(NMED). The revisions also allow
NMED to require speciation of
hazardous air pollutants for emissions
reporting. Second, we are approving
revisions to the New Mexico
Administrative Code (NMAC), 20.2.1
NMAC—General Provisions. We are
adding a new definition for Significant
Figures into the New Mexico SIP. The
EPA is approving these two actions
pursuant to section 110 of the Federal
Clean Air Act (CAA, Act).
DATES: This direct final rule will be
effective October 12, 2010 without
further notice unless EPA receives
adverse comments by September 13,
2010. If adverse comments are received,
EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of
the direct final rule in the Federal
Register informing the public that the
rule will not take effect.

I. What actions are we taking?
A. Emission Inventories
We are approving revisions to the
New Mexico SIP submitted by the State
to meet the EI requirements of the CAA.
The revisions were submitted to EPA
Region 6 on April 11, 2002, December
3, 2003, and April 25, 2005.
The revisions to part 20.2.73 NMAC
(Notice of Intent and Emissions
Inventory Requirements) allow NMED
to meet EPA’s Air Emissions Reporting
Requirements (40 CFR Part 51, Subpart
A). In addition, the revisions will allow
the NMED to collect more specific data
regarding Hazardous Air Pollutants. We
are approving these SIP revisions
pursuant to section 110 of the CAA. The
reporting of emissions and emissionsrelated data will help NMED to attain
and maintain the NAAQS. See Chapter
A of the TSD for more information.
B. General Provisions
We received a SIP submittal package,
with a letter dated April 8, 2010 from
the Governor of New Mexico on behalf
of the NMED, concerning NMAC, Title
20 Environment Protection, Chapter 2
Air Quality, Part 1 General Provisions
(20.2.1 NMAC—General Provisions).
PO 00000

This submittal revises the New Mexico
SIP by adding a new section 20.2.1.116
Significant Figures to the existing state
rule 20.2.1 NMAC—General Provisions.
Adopting 20.2.1.116 Significant Figures
should facilitate calculating air
emissions and determining compliance
with an emission standard. We are
approving this SIP revision pursuant to
section 110 of the Act.
C. EPA’s Action
EPA is publishing this rule without
prior proposal because we view this as
a noncontroversial amendment and
anticipate no relevant adverse
comments. However, in the proposed
rules section of this Federal Register
publication, we are publishing a
separate document that will serve as the
proposal to approve the SIP revision if
relevant adverse comments are received.
This rule will be effective on October
12, 2010 without further notice unless
we receive relevant adverse comments
by September 13, 2010. If we receive
relevant adverse comments, we will
publish a timely withdrawal in the
Federal Register informing the public
that the rule will not take effect. We will
then address all public comments in a
subsequent final rule based on the
proposed rule. However, we will not
institute a second comment period on
this action. Any parties interested in
commenting must do so now. Please
note that if we receive adverse
comments on an amendment,
paragraph, or section of this rule and if
that provision may be severed from the
remainder of the rule, we may adopt as
final those provisions of the rule that are
not the subject of an adverse comment.
Further, in accordance with a Consent
Decree, we will finalize our action on
the Emissions Inventory portion of this
SIP revision no later than January 2,
20111.
II. What is a SIP?
Section 110 of the CAA requires states
to develop air pollution regulations and
control strategies to ensure that air
quality meets the NAAQS established
by EPA. NAAQS are established under
section 109 of the CAA, and currently
address six criteria pollutants: carbon
monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone,
lead, particulate matter, and sulfur
dioxide.
The SIP is a set of air pollution
regulations, control strategies, other
means or techniques, and technical
analyses developed by the state, to
ensure that the state meets the NAAQS.

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 155 / Thursday, August 12, 2010 / Rules and Regulations
The SIP is required by section 110 and
other provisions of the CAA. These SIPs
can be extensive, containing state
regulations or other enforceable
documents and supporting information
such as emissions inventories,
monitoring networks, and modeling
demonstrations. Each state must submit
these regulations and control strategies
to EPA for approval and incorporation
into the federally-enforceable SIP. Each
federally-approved SIP protects air
quality primarily by addressing air
pollution at its point of origin.

III. What is the background of these
actions?
A. Emission Inventory
Emissions inventories are surveys of
actual and/or allowable emissions of air
pollutants in an area. Emissions
inventories are critical for the efforts of
state, local, and federal agencies to
attain and maintain the NAAQS that
EPA has established for criteria
pollutants such as ozone, particulate
matter, and carbon monoxide. States use
emissions inventories submitted by
stationary sources in developing the
inventories required by the Clean Air
Act. In 2005, New Mexico revised its
SIP for air quality to amend the State
regulations on emissions inventories
submitted by stationary sources of air
pollutants. The principal statutory
authority for emissions inventory
reporting requirements is found in
section 110(a)(2)(F) of the Act, which
provides that SIPs must require periodic
reports on the nature and amounts of
emissions and emissions-related data as
may be prescribed by the EPA
Administrator.
On April 11, 2002 New Mexico
submitted to EPA a SIP revision that
included an amendment to the NMAC
regulation 20.2.73, Notice of Intent and
Emission Inventory Requirements,
Section 7, Definitions, which revised
the definition of ‘‘Potential Emission
Rate’’. On December 1, 2003 submitted
another revision to the SIP that added
three new definitions to Section 7, and
revised Section 20.2.73.300, Emission
Inventory Requirements, to require
smelters to submit an annual report of
sulfur input in tons per year, and added
emission tracking requirements for
sulfur dioxide emission inventories. In
July 2004 NMED proposed to revise the
State’s regulations on emissions
inventories. On April 25, 2005 New
Mexico submitted SIP revisions that
required sources to report emissions
location information, PM 2.5 and
ammonia emissions, and allowed NMED
to require reporting of speciated
hazardous air pollutants.

B. General Provisions
The purpose of the General Revisions
(20.2.1 NMAC) is to establish general
requirements which apply to all parts of
Chapter 2 (20.2.1 through 20.2.99
NMAC). We received a request to review
and approve a revision to the General
Provisions (20.2.1 NMAC) with a letter
dated April 8, 2010. This submittal
revises the New Mexico SIP by adding
a new section, 20.2.1.116—Significant
Figures, to the existing state rule 20.2.1
NMAC—General Provisions. The
previous version of the 20.2.1 NMAC—
General Provisions was approved by
EPA on September 26, 1997 (62 FR
50518) at 52.1620(c)(66) effective
November 25, 1997. We are approving
this revision to the 20.2.1 NMAC—
General Provisions as a direct final
action.
IV. What is EPA’s evaluation of these
revisions?
A. Emission Inventories
New Mexico submitted revisions to
20.2.73 NMAC for inclusion into the SIP
that amend requirements on emissions
inventories submitted by stationary
sources of air pollutants located in New
Mexico outside of Bernalillo County.
The emissions inventory requirements
for stationary sources of air pollutants
were revised to (1) include reporting on
emissions location information, PM2.5
emissions, and ammonia emissions; and
(2) allow NMED to require speciation of
hazardous air pollutants for emissions
reporting. In 2002, EPA issued the
consolidated emissions reporting rule
(CERR), (June 10, 2002 Federal Register,
67 FR 39602). The rule consolidated the
various emissions reporting
requirements that already exist into one
place in the CFR, established new
reporting requirements related to
particulate matter less than or equal to
2.5 microns (PM2.5) and regional haze,
and established new requirements for
the statewide reporting of area source
and mobile source emissions. On
December 17, 2008, EPA issued the Air
Emissions Reporting Rule (73 FR 76539)
which revised the emissions reporting
requirements. The requirements can be
found at 40 CFR 51 Subpart A. We have
evaluated the State’s submittal and have
determined that the revisions meet the
applicable requirements of the CAA and
EPA’s regulations. For more information
on our evaluation, please see our
Technical Support Document found in
the electronic docket at https://
www.regulations.gov.
Approval of these revisions will make
New Mexico’s emission inventory
requirements consistent with EPA’s Air
Emissions Reporting Requirements and
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
will make EPA’s approved SIP
consistent with the State’s rules.
B. General Provisions
The revision to 20.2.1 NMAC—
General Provisions, adds a new section
116, which sets forth the procedure to
properly round significant digits in an
air emission calculation, and its
reporting to the NMED. These
significant figures procedures will
clarify any confusion with regards to
emission calculations and reporting of
the values. Section 116 adopts the same
significant figures procedures described
in EPA’s June 6, 1990 Memorandum,
from William G. Laxton, Technical
Support Division Director to John S.
Seitz, Stationary Source Compliance
Division Director, entitled ‘‘Performance
Test Calculation Guidelines.’’ A copy of
this guidance document is available in
the EPA docket No. EPA–R06–OAR–
2005–NM–0009 for public inspection
and review. These significant figures
procedures will assist the sources in
properly reporting air emissions, and
assist the NMED’s personnel in
determining sources’ compliance with
applicable emissions limitations. This
section should facilitate enforcement of
the rules, and enhance the New Mexico
SIP.
V. Final Action
Today we are approving revisions to
two portions of the New Mexico SIP.
First, we are approving revisions to
regulations on EIs submitted by
stationary sources of air pollutants, in
three SIP revisions submitted on April
11, 2002, December 1, 2003, and April
25, 2005. The revisions add new
definitions, modify existing definitions,
and require stationary sources of air
pollutants located in New Mexico
outside of Bernalillo County to report
emissions location to NMED. The
revisions also allow NMED to require
speciation of hazardous air pollutants
for purposes of reporting. Second, we
are approving revisions to the 20.2.1
NMAC—General Provisions. We are also
adding a new definition for Significant
Figures into the New Mexico SIP, a
revision that was submitted on April 8,
2010. EPA is approving these two
actions pursuant to section 110 of the
Act.
VI. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act, the
Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the
provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k);
40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP
submissions, EPA’s role is to approve
E:\FR\FM\12AUR1.SGM
12AUR1
48863
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 155 / Thursday, August 12, 2010 / Rules and Regulations
state choices, provided that they meet
the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely
approves state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose
additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason,
this action:
• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ subject to review by the Office
of Management and Budget under
Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993);
• Does not impose an information
collection burden under the provisions
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
• Is certified as not having a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
• Does not contain any unfunded
mandate or significantly or uniquely
affect small governments, as described
in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4);
• Does not have Federalism
implications as specified in Executive
Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999);
• Is not an economically significant
regulatory action based on health or
safety risks subject to Executive Order
13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);
• Is not a significant regulatory action
subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001);
• Is not subject to requirements of
Section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the Clean Air Act;
• Does not provide EPA with the
discretionary authority to address, as
appropriate, disproportionate human
health or environmental effects, using
practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898
(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994);
• Does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because
the SIP is not approved to apply in
Indian country located in the State, and
EPA notes that it will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal
governments or preempt tribal law; and
• Is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by
5 U.S.C. 804(2) under the Congressional
Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., added
by the Small Business Regulatory
Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996. A
major rule cannot take effect until 60
days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ‘‘major
rule.’’
Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean
Air Act, petitions for judicial review of
this action must be filed in the United
States Court of Appeals for the
appropriate circuit by October 12, 2010.
Filing a petition for reconsideration by
the Administrator of this final rule does
not affect the finality of this action for
the purposes of judicial review nor does
it extend the time within which a
petition for judicial review may be filed,
and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. This action may
not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements (See section
307(b)(2) of the Act.)

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[EPA–R05–OAR–2010–0035; FRL–9187–5]
Approval and Promulgation of Air
Quality Implementation Plans; MN
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Direct final rule.
AGENCY:
EPA is approving Minnesota’s
request to amend its State
Implementation Plan (SIP) for sulfur
dioxide (SO2). The Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency (MPCA) submitted the
SIP revision request to EPA on
November 23, 2009, and supplemented
it on March 3, 2010. EPA’s approval
revises SIP requirements applicable to
Saint Mary’s Hospital, located in
Rochester, Minnesota, by adding a 2500
kilowatt (KW) reciprocating internal
combustion engine (RICE) electric
generator and reducing the allowable
diesel fuel sulfur content for two
existing RICE electric generators. The
revision also includes administrative
changes in the identification of
emissions units. These revisions are
included in a joint Title I/Title V
document for Saint Mary’s Hospital,
which replaces the document currently
approved into the SIP for the facility.
These revisions will result in reducing
the SO2 impact in the Rochester area,
and strengthen the existing SO2 SIP.
DATES: This direct final rule will be
effective October 12, 2010, unless EPA
receives adverse comments by
September 13, 2010. If adverse
comments are received, EPA will
publish a timely withdrawal of the
direct final rule in the Federal Register
informing the public that the rule will
not take effect.

submission?
IV. What action is EPA taking?
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. General Information
A. Does this action apply to me?
This action applies only to the Saint
Mary’s Hospital, located at 1216 Second
St., Rochester, Minnesota (Olmsted
County).
B. Has public notice been provided?
Minnesota published a public notice
of the revisions to the SIP on August 22,
2009. The comment period began on
August 23, 2009, and ended on
September 23, 2009. In the public
notice, Minnesota stated it would hold
a public hearing if one were requested
during the comment period. This
follows the alternative public
participation process EPA approved on
June 5, 2006 (71 FR 32274). For limited
types of SIP revisions that the public
has shown little interest in, a public
hearing is not automatically required.
Because no one requested a public
hearing, Minnesota did not hold a
public hearing.
Background
Saint Mary’s Hospital is a tertiary care
hospital which includes several
buildings located on a 49 acre campus.
The Saint Mary’s Hospital is owned and
operated by the Mayo Foundation. The
facility is a culpable source located in
the Rochester area’s nonattainment plan
for the SO2 National Ambient Air
Quality Standard (NAAQS). However,
the area currently meets the NAAQS for
SO2, and was officially redesignated as
attainment on May 8, 2001. (66 FR
14087)
The primary emission units at the
facility are three identical fossil fuel-

[EPA-R06-OAR-2005-NM-0009; FRL-9187-8]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
New Mexico; Revisions to Emissions Inventory Reporting Requirements,
and General Provisions
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The EPA is taking direct final action to approve revisions to
the New Mexico State Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern
two separate actions. First, we are approving revisions to regulations
on Emission Inventories (EIs) submitted by stationary sources of air
pollutants. EIs are critical for the efforts of state, local, and
federal agencies to attain and maintain the National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQS) that EPA has established for criteria
pollutants such as ozone, particulate matter, and carbon monoxide. The
revisions add new definitions; modify existing definitions; and require
stationary sources of air pollutants located in New Mexico outside of
Bernalillo County to report emissions location information,
PM2.5 emissions, and ammonia emissions to New Mexico
Environment Department (NMED). The revisions also allow NMED to require
speciation of hazardous air pollutants for emissions reporting. Second,
we are approving revisions to the New Mexico Administrative Code
(NMAC), 20.2.1 NMAC--General Provisions. We are adding a new definition
for Significant Figures into the New Mexico SIP. The EPA is approving
these two actions pursuant to section 110 of the Federal Clean Air Act
(CAA, Act).
DATES: This direct final rule will be effective October 12, 2010
without further notice unless EPA receives adverse comments by
September 13, 2010. If adverse comments are received, EPA will publish
a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule in the Federal Register
informing the public that the rule will not take effect.

Outline
I. What actions are we taking?
II. What is a SIP?
III. What is the background for these actions?
IV. What is EPA's evaluation of these revisions?
V. Final Action
VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. What actions are we taking?
A. Emission Inventories
We are approving revisions to the New Mexico SIP submitted by the
State to meet the EI requirements of the CAA. The revisions were
submitted to EPA Region 6 on April 11, 2002, December 3, 2003, and
April 25, 2005.
The revisions to part 20.2.73 NMAC (Notice of Intent and Emissions
Inventory Requirements) allow NMED to meet EPA's Air Emissions
Reporting Requirements (40 CFR Part 51, Subpart A). In addition, the
revisions will allow the NMED to collect more specific data regarding
Hazardous Air Pollutants. We are approving these SIP revisions pursuant
to section 110 of the CAA. The reporting of emissions and emissions-
related data will help NMED to attain and maintain the NAAQS. See
Chapter A of the TSD for more information.
B. General Provisions
We received a SIP submittal package, with a letter dated April 8,
2010 from the Governor of New Mexico on behalf of the NMED, concerning
NMAC, Title 20 Environment Protection, Chapter 2 Air Quality, Part 1
General Provisions (20.2.1 NMAC--General Provisions). This submittal
revises the New Mexico SIP by adding a new section 20.2.1.116
Significant Figures to the existing state rule 20.2.1 NMAC--General
Provisions. Adopting 20.2.1.116 Significant Figures should facilitate
calculating air emissions and determining compliance with an emission
standard. We are approving this SIP revision pursuant to section 110 of
the Act.
C. EPA's Action
EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal because we view
this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipate no relevant adverse
comments. However, in the proposed rules section of this Federal
Register publication, we are publishing a separate document that will
serve as the proposal to approve the SIP revision if relevant adverse
comments are received. This rule will be effective on October 12, 2010
without further notice unless we receive relevant adverse comments by
September 13, 2010. If we receive relevant adverse comments, we will
publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the
public that the rule will not take effect. We will then address all
public comments in a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule.
However, we will not institute a second comment period on this action.
Any parties interested in commenting must do so now. Please note that
if we receive adverse comments on an amendment, paragraph, or section
of this rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of
the rule, we may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are
not the subject of an adverse comment. Further, in accordance with a
Consent Decree, we will finalize our action on the Emissions Inventory
portion of this SIP revision no later than January 2, 2011\1\.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. What is a SIP?
Section 110 of the CAA requires states to develop air pollution
regulations and control strategies to ensure that air quality meets the
NAAQS established by EPA. NAAQS are established under section 109 of
the CAA, and currently address six criteria pollutants: carbon
monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, lead, particulate matter, and sulfur
dioxide.
The SIP is a set of air pollution regulations, control strategies,
other means or techniques, and technical analyses developed by the
state, to ensure that the state meets the NAAQS.
[[Page 48862]]
The SIP is required by section 110 and other provisions of the CAA.
These SIPs can be extensive, containing state regulations or other
enforceable documents and supporting information such as emissions
inventories, monitoring networks, and modeling demonstrations. Each
state must submit these regulations and control strategies to EPA for
approval and incorporation into the federally-enforceable SIP. Each
federally-approved SIP protects air quality primarily by addressing air
pollution at its point of origin.
III. What is the background of these actions?
A. Emission Inventory
Emissions inventories are surveys of actual and/or allowable
emissions of air pollutants in an area. Emissions inventories are
critical for the efforts of state, local, and federal agencies to
attain and maintain the NAAQS that EPA has established for criteria
pollutants such as ozone, particulate matter, and carbon monoxide.
States use emissions inventories submitted by stationary sources in
developing the inventories required by the Clean Air Act. In 2005, New
Mexico revised its SIP for air quality to amend the State regulations
on emissions inventories submitted by stationary sources of air
pollutants. The principal statutory authority for emissions inventory
reporting requirements is found in section 110(a)(2)(F) of the Act,
which provides that SIPs must require periodic reports on the nature
and amounts of emissions and emissions-related data as may be
prescribed by the EPA Administrator.
On April 11, 2002 New Mexico submitted to EPA a SIP revision that
included an amendment to the NMAC regulation 20.2.73, Notice of Intent
and Emission Inventory Requirements, Section 7, Definitions, which
revised the definition of ``Potential Emission Rate''. On December 1,
2003 submitted another revision to the SIP that added three new
definitions to Section 7, and revised Section 20.2.73.300, Emission
Inventory Requirements, to require smelters to submit an annual report
of sulfur input in tons per year, and added emission tracking
requirements for sulfur dioxide emission inventories. In July 2004 NMED
proposed to revise the State's regulations on emissions inventories. On
April 25, 2005 New Mexico submitted SIP revisions that required sources
to report emissions location information, PM 2.5 and ammonia emissions,
and allowed NMED to require reporting of speciated hazardous air
pollutants.
B. General Provisions
The purpose of the General Revisions (20.2.1 NMAC) is to establish
general requirements which apply to all parts of Chapter 2 (20.2.1
through 20.2.99 NMAC). We received a request to review and approve a
revision to the General Provisions (20.2.1 NMAC) with a letter dated
April 8, 2010. This submittal revises the New Mexico SIP by adding a
new section, 20.2.1.116--Significant Figures, to the existing state
rule 20.2.1 NMAC--General Provisions. The previous version of the
20.2.1 NMAC--General Provisions was approved by EPA on September 26,
1997 (62 FR 50518) at 52.1620(c)(66) effective November 25, 1997. We
are approving this revision to the 20.2.1 NMAC--General Provisions as a
direct final action.
IV. What is EPA's evaluation of these revisions?
A. Emission Inventories
New Mexico submitted revisions to 20.2.73 NMAC for inclusion into
the SIP that amend requirements on emissions inventories submitted by
stationary sources of air pollutants located in New Mexico outside of
Bernalillo County. The emissions inventory requirements for stationary
sources of air pollutants were revised to (1) include reporting on
emissions location information, PM2.5 emissions, and ammonia
emissions; and (2) allow NMED to require speciation of hazardous air
pollutants for emissions reporting. In 2002, EPA issued the
consolidated emissions reporting rule (CERR), (June 10, 2002 Federal
Register, 67 FR 39602). The rule consolidated the various emissions
reporting requirements that already exist into one place in the CFR,
established new reporting requirements related to particulate matter
less than or equal to 2.5 microns (PM2.5) and regional haze,
and established new requirements for the statewide reporting of area
source and mobile source emissions. On December 17, 2008, EPA issued
the Air Emissions Reporting Rule (73 FR 76539) which revised the
emissions reporting requirements. The requirements can be found at 40
CFR 51 Subpart A. We have evaluated the State's submittal and have
determined that the revisions meet the applicable requirements of the
CAA and EPA's regulations. For more information on our evaluation,
please see our Technical Support Document found in the electronic
docket at https://www.regulations.gov.
Approval of these revisions will make New Mexico's emission
inventory requirements consistent with EPA's Air Emissions Reporting
Requirements and will make EPA's approved SIP consistent with the
State's rules.
B. General Provisions
The revision to 20.2.1 NMAC--General Provisions, adds a new section
116, which sets forth the procedure to properly round significant
digits in an air emission calculation, and its reporting to the NMED.
These significant figures procedures will clarify any confusion with
regards to emission calculations and reporting of the values. Section
116 adopts the same significant figures procedures described in EPA's
June 6, 1990 Memorandum, from William G. Laxton, Technical Support
Division Director to John S. Seitz, Stationary Source Compliance
Division Director, entitled ``Performance Test Calculation
Guidelines.'' A copy of this guidance document is available in the EPA
docket No. EPA-R06-OAR-2005-NM-0009 for public inspection and review.
These significant figures procedures will assist the sources in
properly reporting air emissions, and assist the NMED's personnel in
determining sources' compliance with applicable emissions limitations.
This section should facilitate enforcement of the rules, and enhance
the New Mexico SIP.
V. Final Action
Today we are approving revisions to two portions of the New Mexico
SIP. First, we are approving revisions to regulations on EIs submitted
by stationary sources of air pollutants, in three SIP revisions
submitted on April 11, 2002, December 1, 2003, and April 25, 2005. The
revisions add new definitions, modify existing definitions, and require
stationary sources of air pollutants located in New Mexico outside of
Bernalillo County to report emissions location to NMED. The revisions
also allow NMED to require speciation of hazardous air pollutants for
purposes of reporting. Second, we are approving revisions to the 20.2.1
NMAC--General Provisions. We are also adding a new definition for
Significant Figures into the New Mexico SIP, a revision that was
submitted on April 8, 2010. EPA is approving these two actions pursuant
to section 110 of the Act.
VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve
[[Page 48863]]
state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air
Act. Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting
Federal requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond
those imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act;
Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994);
Does not have tribal implications as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because the SIP
is not approved to apply in Indian country located in the State, and
EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal
governments or preempt tribal law; and
Is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2)
under the Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996. A major
rule cannot take effect until 60 days after it is published in the
Federal Register. This action is not a ``major rule.''
Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by October 12, 2010. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of
judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for
judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements (See section 307(b)(2) of the
Act.)
