New Source Performance Standards
and National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants; Delegation
of Authority to New Mexico
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Direct final rule; delegation of
authority.
AGENCY:
The New Mexico
Environment Department (NMED) has
submitted updated regulations for
receiving delegation and approval of a
program for the implementation and
enforcement of certain New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) and
National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for
all sources (both Title V and non-Title
V sources). These updated regulations
apply to certain NSPS promulgated by
the EPA at part 60, as amended between
September 24, 2013 and January 15,
2017; certain NESHAP promulgated by
the EPA at part 61, as amended between
January 1, 2011 and January 15, 2017;
and other NESHAP promulgated by the
EPA at part 63, as amended between
August 30, 2013 and January 15, 2017,
as adopted by the NMED. The EPA is
providing notice that it is updating the
delegation of certain NSPS to NMED,
and taking direct final action to approve
the delegation of certain NESHAP to
NMED. The delegation of authority
under this action does not apply to
sources located in Bernalillo County,
New Mexico, or to sources located in
Indian Country.
DATES: This rule is effective on June 12,
2018 without further notice, unless the
EPA receives relevant adverse comment
by May 14, 2018. If the EPA receives
such comment, the EPA will publish a
timely withdrawal in the Federal
Register informing the public that the
updated NESHAP delegation will not
take effect; however, the NSPS
delegation will not be affected by such
action.

The EPA is providing notice that it is
approving NMED’s request to update the
PO 00000
Frm 00020

delegation for the implementation and
enforcement of certain NSPS. The EPA
is also taking direct final action to
approve NMED’s request updating the
delegation of certain NESHAP. With this
delegation, NMED has the primary
responsibility to implement and enforce
the delegated standards. See sections V
and VI, below, for a discussion of which
standards are being delegated and
which are not being delegated.
II. What is the authority for delegation?
Upon the EPA’s finding that the
procedures submitted by a State for the
implementation and enforcement of
standards of performance for new
sources located in the State are
adequate, Section 111(c)(1) of the Clean
Air Act (CAA) authorizes the EPA to
delegate its authority to implement and
enforce such standards. The new source
performance standards are codified at
40 CFR part 60.
Section 112(l) of the CAA and 40 CFR
part 63, subpart E, authorize the EPA to
delegate authority for the
implementation and enforcement of
emission standards for hazardous air
pollutants to a State that satisfies the
statutory and regulatory requirements in
subpart E. The hazardous air pollutant
standards are codified at 40 CFR parts
61 and 63.
III. What criteria must New Mexico’s
programs meet to be approved?
In order to receive delegation of
NSPS, a State must develop and submit
to the EPA a procedure for
implementing and enforcing the NSPS
in the state, and their regulations and
resources must be adequate for the
implementation and enforcement of the
NSPS. The EPA initially approved New
Mexico’s program for the delegation of
NSPS on June 6, 1986 (51 FR 20648).
The EPA reviewed the laws of the State
and the rules and regulations of the New
Mexico Environmental Improvement
Division (now the NMED) and
determined the State’s procedures,
regulations and resources were adequate
for the implementation and enforcement
of the Federal standards. The NSPS
delegation was most recently updated
on February 2, 2015 (80 FR 5475). This
action notifies the public that the EPA
is updating NMED’s delegation to
implement and enforce certain
additional NSPS.
Section 112(l)(5) of the CAA requires
the EPA to disapprove any program
submitted by a State for the delegation
of NESHAP standards if the EPA
determines that:
(A) The authorities contained in the
program are not adequate to assure
compliance by the sources within the
E:\FR\FM\13APR1.SGM
13APR1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 72 / Friday, April 13, 2018 / Rules and Regulations
State with respect to each applicable
standard, regulation, or requirement
established under section 112;
(B) adequate authority does not exist,
or adequate resources are not available,
to implement the program;
(C) the schedule for implementing the
program and assuring compliance by
affected sources is not sufficiently
expeditious; or
(D) the program is otherwise not in
compliance with the guidance issued by
the EPA under section 112(l)(2) or is not
likely to satisfy, in whole or in part, the
objectives of the CAA.
In carrying out its responsibilities
under section 112(l), the EPA
promulgated regulations at 40 CFR part
63, subpart E, setting forth criteria for
the approval of submitted programs. For
example, in order to obtain approval of
a program to implement and enforce
Federal section 112 rules as
promulgated without changes (straight
delegation), a State must demonstrate
that it meets the criteria of 40 CFR
63.91(d). Title 40 CFR 63.91(d)(3)
provides that interim or final title V
program approval will satisfy the
criteria of 40 CFR 63.91(d).1
The NESHAP delegation was most
recently approved on February 2, 2015
(80 FR 5475).
IV. How did NMED meet the NSPS and
NESHAP program approval criteria?
daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with RULES
As to the NSPS standards in 40 CFR
part 60, NMED adopted the Federal
standards via incorporation by
reference. The NMED regulations are,
therefore, at least as stringent as the
EPA’s rules. See 40 CFR 60.10(a). Also,
in the EPA initial approval of NSPS
delegation, we determined that the State
developed procedures for implementing
and enforcing the NSPS in the State,
and that the State’s regulations and
resources are adequate for the
implementation and enforcement of the
Federal standards. See 51 FR 20648
(June 6, 1986).
As to the NESHAP standards in 40
CFR parts 61 and 63, as part of its Title
V submission NMED stated that it
intended to use the mechanism of
incorporation by reference to adopt
unchanged Federal section 112
standards into its regulations. This
commitment applied to both existing
and future standards as they applied to
part 70 sources. The EPA’s final interim
1 Some NESHAP standards do not require a
source to obtain a title V permit (e.g., certain area
sources that are exempt from the requirement to
obtain a title V permit). For these non-title V
sources, the EPA believes that the State must assure
the EPA that it can implement and enforce the
NESHAP for such sources. See 65 FR 55810, 55813
(Sept. 14, 2000).
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
approval of New Mexico’s Title V
operating permits program delegated the
authority to implement certain
NESHAP, effective December 19, 1994
(59 FR 59656). On November 26, 1996,
the EPA promulgated final full approval
of the State’s operating permits program,
effective January 27, 1997 (61 FR
60032). These interim and final title V
program approvals satisfy the upfront
approval criteria of 40 CFR 63.91(d).
Under 40 CFR 63.91(d)(2), once a state
has satisfied the up-front approval
criteria, it needs only to reference the
previous demonstration and reaffirm
that it still meets the criteria for any
subsequent submittals for delegation of
the section 112 standards. NMED has
affirmed that it still meets the up-front
approval criteria. With respect to nonTitle V sources, the EPA has previously
approved delegation of NESHAP
authorities to NMED after finding
adequate authorities to implement and
enforce the NESHAP for non-Title V
sources. See 68 FR 69036 (December 11,
2003).
V. What is being delegated?
By letter dated January 22, 2016, the
EPA received a request from NMED to
update its NSPS delegation and
NESHAP delegation. With certain
exceptions noted in section VI below,
NMED’s request included NSPS in 40
CFR part 60, as amended between
September 24, 2013 and September 15,
2015; NESHAP in 40 CFR part 61, as
amended between January 1, 2011 and
September 15, 2015; and NESHAP in 40
CFR part 63, as amended between
August 30, 2013 and September 15,
2015.
By letter dated June 9, 2017, the EPA
received a request from NMED to update
its NSPS delegation and NESHAP
delegation. With certain exceptions
noted in section VI below, NMED’s
request included NSPS in 40 CFR part
60, as amended between September 15,
2015 and January 15, 2017; NESHAP in
40 CFR part 61, as amended between
September 15, 2015 and January 15,
2017; and NESHAP in 40 CFR part 63,
as amended between September 15,
2015 and January 15, 2017. This action
is being taken in response to NMED’s
requests noted above.
VI. What is not being delegated?
All authorities not affirmatively and
expressly delegated by this action are
not delegated. These include the
following part 60, 61 and 63 authorities
listed below:
• 40 CFR part 60, subpart AAA
(Standards of Performance for New
Residential Wood Heaters);
PO 00000
Frm 00021

• 40 CFR part 60, subpart QQQQ
(Standards of Performance for New
Residential Hydronic Heaters and
Forced-Air Furnaces);
• 40 CFR part 61, subpart B (National
Emission Standards for Radon
Emissions from Underground Uranium
Mines);
• 40 CFR part 61, subpart H (National
Emission Standards for Emissions of
Radionuclides Other Than Radon From
Department of Energy Facilities);
• 40 CFR part 61, subpart I (National
Emission Standards for Radionuclide
Emissions from Federal Facilities Other
Than Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Licensees and Not Covered by Subpart
H);
• 40 CFR part 61, subpart K (National
Emission Standards for Radionuclide
Emissions from Elemental Phosphorus
Plants);
• 40 CFR part 61, subpart Q (National
Emission Standards for Radon
Emissions from Department of Energy
facilities);
• 40 CFR part 61, subpart R (National
Emission Standards for Radon
Emissions from Phosphogypsum
Stacks);
• 40 CFR part 61, subpart T (National
Emission Standards for Radon
Emissions from the Disposal of Uranium
Mill Tailings);
• 40 CFR part 61, subpart W (National
Emission Standards for Radon
Emissions from Operating Mill
Tailings); and
• 40 CFR part 63, subpart J (National
Emission Standards for Polyvinyl
Chloride and Copolymers Production).
In addition, the EPA regulations
provide that we cannot delegate to a
State any of the Category II authorities
set forth in 40 CFR 63.91(g)(2). These
include the following provisions:
§ 63.6(g), Approval of Alternative NonOpacity Standards; § 63.6(h)(9),
Approval of Alternative Opacity
Standards; § 63.7(e)(2)(ii) and (f),
Approval of Major Alternatives to Test
Methods; § 63.8(f), Approval of Major
Alternatives to Monitoring; and
§ 63.10(f), Approval of Major
Alternatives to Recordkeeping and
Reporting. Also, some part 61 and part
63 standards have certain provisions
that cannot be delegated to the States.
Furthermore, no authorities are
delegated that require rulemaking in the
Federal Register to implement, or where
Federal overview is the only way to
ensure national consistency in the
application of the standards or
requirements of CAA section 112.
Finally, this action does not delegate
any authority under section 112(r), the
accidental release program.

15966
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 72 / Friday, April 13, 2018 / Rules and Regulations
63.91(g)(1)(ii). EPA also has the
authority to review NMED’s
implementation and enforcement of
approved rules or programs and to
withdraw approval if we find
inadequate implementation or
enforcement. See 40 CFR 63.96.
Furthermore, we retain any authority
in an individual emission standard that
may not be delegated according to
provisions of the standard. Also, listed
in footnote 2 of the part 63 delegation
table at the end of this rule are the
authorities that cannot be delegated to
any State or local agency which we
therefore retain.
Finally, we retain the authorities
stated in the original delegation
agreement. See 51 FR 20648–20650
(June 6, 1986).
VII. How will statutory and regulatory
interpretations be made?
In approving the NSPS delegation,
NMED will obtain concurrence from the
EPA on any matter involving the
interpretation of section 111 of the CAA
or 40 CFR part 60 to the extent that
implementation or enforcement of these
provisions have not been covered by
prior EPA determinations or guidance.
See 51 FR 20649 (June 6, 1986).
In approving the NESHAP delegation,
NMED will obtain concurrence from the
EPA on any matter involving the
interpretation of section 112 of the CAA
or 40 CFR parts 61 and 63 to the extent
that implementation or enforcement of
these provisions have not been covered
by prior EPA determinations or
guidance.

All of the inquiries and requests
concerning implementation and
enforcement of the excluded standards
in the State of New Mexico should be
directed to the EPA Region 6 Office.
In addition, this delegation to NMED
to implement and enforce certain NSPS
and NESHAP authorities does not
extend to sources or activities located in
Indian country, as defined in 18 U.S.C.
1151. Under this definition, the EPA
treats as reservations, trust lands validly
set aside for the use of a Tribe even if
the trust lands have not been formally
designated as a reservation. Consistent
with previous federal program
approvals or delegations, the EPA will
continue to implement the NSPS and
NESHAP in Indian country because
NMED has not submitted information to
demonstrate authority over sources and
activities located within the exterior
boundaries of Indian reservations and
other areas in Indian country.
NMED must provide any additional
compliance related information to EPA,
Region 6, Office of Enforcement and
Compliance Assurance, within 45 days
of a request under 40 CFR 63.96(a). In
receiving delegation for specific General
Provisions authorities, NMED must
submit to EPA Region 6, on a semiannual basis, copies of determinations
issued under these authorities. See 40
CFR 63.91(g)(1)(ii). For 40 CFR part 63
standards, these determinations include:
§ 63.1, Applicability Determinations;
§ 63.6(e), Operation and Maintenance
Requirements—Responsibility for
Determining Compliance; § 63.6(f),
Compliance with Non-Opacity
Standards—Responsibility for
Determining Compliance; § 63.6(h),
Compliance with Opacity and Visible
Emissions Standards—Responsibility
for Determining Compliance;
§ 63.7(c)(2)(i) and (d), Approval of SiteSpecific Test Plans; § 63.7(e)(2)(i),
Approval of Minor Alternatives to Test
Methods; § 63.7(e)(2)(ii) and (f),
Approval of Intermediate Alternatives to
Test Methods; § 63.7(e)(2)(iii), Approval
of Shorter Sampling Times and Volumes
When Necessitated by Process Variables
or Other Factors; § 63.7(e)(2)(iv) and
(h)(2) and (3), Waiver of Performance
Testing; § 63.8(c)(1) and (e)(1), Approval
of Site-Specific Performance Evaluation
(Monitoring) Test Plans; § 63.8(f),
Approval of Minor Alternatives to
Monitoring; § 63.8(f), Approval of
Intermediate Alternatives to Monitoring;
§§ 63.9 and 63.10, Approval of
Adjustments to Time Periods for
Submitting Reports; § 63.10(f), Approval
of Minor Alternatives to Recordkeeping
and Reporting; § 63.7(a)(4), Extension of
Performance Test Deadline.
VIII. What authority does the EPA
have?
We retain the right, as provided by
CAA section 111(c)(2), to enforce any
applicable emission standard or
requirement under section 111.
We retain the right, as provided by
CAA section 112(l)(7) and 40 CFR
63.90(d)(2), to enforce any applicable
emission standard or requirement under
section 112. In addition, the EPA may
enforce any federally approved State
rule, requirement, or program under 40
CFR 63.90(e) and 63.91(c)(1)(i). The EPA
also has the authority to make decisions
under the General Provisions (subpart
A) of parts 61 and 63. We are delegating
to NMED some of these authorities, and
retaining others, as explained in
sections V and VI above. In addition, the
EPA may review and disapprove State
determinations and subsequently
require corrections. See 40 CFR

X. What is the EPA’s oversight role?
The EPA oversees NMED’s decisions
to ensure the delegated authorities are
being adequately implemented and
enforced. We will integrate oversight of
the delegated authorities into the
existing mechanisms and resources for
oversight currently in place. If, during
oversight, we determine that NMED
made decisions that decreased the
stringency of the delegated standards,
then NMED shall be required to take
corrective actions and the source(s)
affected by the decisions will be
notified. See 40 CFR 63.91(g)(1)(ii) and
(b). We will initiate withdrawal of the
program or rule if the corrective actions
taken are insufficient. See 51 FR 20648
(June 6, 1986).
XI. Should sources submit notices to the
EPA or NMED?
Sources located outside the
boundaries of Bernalillo County and
outside of Indian country should submit
all of the information required pursuant
to the delegated authorities in the
Federal NSPS and NESHAP (40 CFR
parts 60, 61 and 63) directly to the
NMED at the following address: New
Mexico Environment Department, 525
Camino de los Marquez, Suite I, Santa
Fe, New Mexico 87505. The NMED is
the primary point of contact with
respect to delegated NSPS and NESHAP
authorities. Sources do not need to send
a copy to the EPA. The EPA Region 6
waives the requirement that
notifications and reports for delegated
authorities be submitted to the EPA in
addition to NMED in accordance with
40 CFR 63.9(a)(4)(ii) and 63.10(a)(4)(ii).2
For those authorities not delegated,
sources must continue to submit all
appropriate information to the EPA.
XII. How will unchanged authorities be
delegated to NMED in the future?
In the future, NMED will only need to
send a letter of request to update their
delegation to EPA, Region 6, for those
NSPS which they have adopted by
reference. The EPA will amend the
relevant portions of the Code of Federal
Regulations showing which NSPS
standards have been delegated to
NMED. Also, in the future, NMED will
only need to send a letter of request for
approval to EPA, Region 6, for those
NESHAP regulations that NMED has
adopted by reference. The letter must
reference the previous up-front approval
demonstration and reaffirm that it still

copies of notifications and reports; EPA does not
waive the requirements in delegated standards that
require notifications and reports be submitted to an

meets the up-front approval criteria. We
will respond in writing to the request
stating that the request for delegation is
either granted or denied. A Federal
Register action will be published to
inform the public and affected sources
of the delegation, indicate where source
notifications and reports should be sent,
and to amend the relevant portions of
the Code of Federal Regulations
showing which NESHAP standards have
been delegated to NMED.
XIII. Final Action
The public was provided the
opportunity to comment on the
proposed approval of the program and
mechanism for delegation of section 112
standards, as they apply to part 70
sources, on May 19, 1994, for the
proposed interim approval of NMED’s
Title V operating permits program; and
on November 26, 1996, for the proposed
final approval of NMED’s Title V
operating permits program. In the EPA’s
final full approval of New Mexico’s
Operating Permits Program on
November 26, 1996, the EPA discussed
the public comments on the delegation
of the NESHAP authorities. In today’s
action, the public is given the
opportunity to comment on the
approval of NMED’s request for
delegation of authority to implement
and enforce certain section 112
standards for all sources (both Title V
and non-Title V sources) which have
been adopted by reference into New
Mexico’s state regulations. However, the
Agency views the approval of these
requests as a noncontroversial action
and anticipates no relevant adverse
comments. Therefore, the EPA is
publishing this rule without prior
proposal. However, in the proposed
rules section of this issue of the Federal
Register, the EPA is publishing a
separate document that will serve as the
proposal to approve the NESHAP
delegation described in this action if
relevant adverse comments are received.
This action will be effective June 12,
2018 without further notice unless we
receive relevant adverse comment by
May 14, 2018.
If we receive relevant adverse
comments, we will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register
informing the public the rule will not
take effect with respect to the updated
NESHAP delegation. We will address all
public comments in a subsequent final
rule based on the proposed rule. We
will not institute a second comment
period on this action. Any parties
interested in commenting must do so at
this time. Please note that if we receive
relevant adverse comment on an
amendment, paragraph, or section of
VerDate Sep<11>2014

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 a
relevant adverse comment.
XIV. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR
51735, October 4, 1993), this action is
not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ and
therefore is not subject to review by the
Office of Management and Budget. For
this reason, this action is also not
subject to Executive Order 13211,
‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May
22, 2001). This action is not an
Executive Order 13771 regulatory action
because this action is not significant
under Executive Order 12866. This
action merely approves state law as
meeting Federal requirements and
imposes no additional requirements
beyond those imposed by state law.
Accordingly, the Administrator certifies
that this rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601
et seq.). Because this rule approves preexisting requirements under state law
and does not impose any additional
enforceable duty beyond that required
by state law, it 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). The
EPA believes that this action does not
have disproportionately high and
adverse human health or environmental
effects on minority populations, lowincome populations and/or indigenous
peoples, as specified in Executive Order
12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
The delegation is not approved to
apply on any Indian reservation land or
in any other area where the EPA or an
Indian tribe has demonstrated that a
tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have
tribal implications as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000), nor will it impose
substantial direct costs on tribal
governments or preempt tribal law.
This action also does not have
Federalism implications because it does
not have substantial direct effects on the
States, on the relationship between the
national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government, as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255,
August 10, 1999). This action merely
approves a state request to receive

delegation of certain Federal standards,
and does not alter the relationship or
the distribution of power and
responsibilities established in the Clean
Air Act. This rule also is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 ‘‘Protection of
Children from Environmental Health
Risks and Safety Risks’’ (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997), because it is not
economically significant.
In reviewing delegation submissions,
EPA’s role is to approve submissions,
provided that they meet the criteria of
the Clean Air Act. This action is not
subject to the 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 CAA. This rule
does not impose an information
collection burden under the provisions
of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
The Congressional Review Act, 5
U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides
that before a rule may take effect, the
agency promulgating the rule must
submit a rule report, which includes a
copy of the rule, to each House of the
Congress and to the Comptroller General
of the United States. EPA will submit a
report containing this rule and other
required information to the U.S. Senate,
the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the United
States prior to publication of the rule in
the Federal Register. A major rule
cannot take effect until 60 days after it
is published in the Federal Register.
This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as
defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA,
petitions for judicial review of this
action must be filed in the United States
Court of Appeals for the appropriate
circuit by June 12, 2018. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the
Administrator of this final rule does not
affect the finality of this rule 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)).

Register through January 15, 2017.
3 Program delegated to Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Air Quality Control Board (ABCAQCB) for standards promulgated by the EPA, as
amended in the Federal Register through September 13, 2013.
4 The NMED was previously delegated this subpart on February 9, 2004. The ABCAQCB has adopted the subpart unchanged and applied for
delegation of the standard. The subpart was vacated and remanded to the EPA by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. See, Mossville Environmental Action Network v. EPA, 370 F. 3d 1232 (D.C. Cir. 2004). Because of the D.C. Court’s holding this subpart is not delegated to NMED or ABCAQCB at this time.

New Source Performance Standards and National Emission Standards
for Hazardous Air Pollutants; Delegation of Authority to New Mexico
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Direct final rule; delegation of authority.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) has submitted
updated regulations for receiving delegation and approval of a program
for the implementation and enforcement of certain New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) and National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for all sources (both Title V and
non-Title V sources). These updated regulations apply to certain NSPS
promulgated by the EPA at part 60, as amended between September 24,
2013 and January 15, 2017; certain NESHAP promulgated by the EPA at
part 61, as amended between January 1, 2011 and January 15, 2017; and
other NESHAP promulgated by the EPA at part 63, as amended between
August 30, 2013 and January 15, 2017, as adopted by the NMED. The EPA
is providing notice that it is updating the delegation of certain NSPS
to NMED, and taking direct final action to approve the delegation of
certain NESHAP to NMED. The delegation of authority under this action
does not apply to sources located in Bernalillo County, New Mexico, or
to sources located in Indian Country.
DATES: This rule is effective on June 12, 2018 without further notice,
unless the EPA receives relevant adverse comment by May 14, 2018. If
the EPA receives such comment, the EPA will publish a timely withdrawal
in the Federal Register informing the public that the updated NESHAP
delegation will not take effect; however, the NSPS delegation will not
be affected by such action.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R06-
OAR-2016-0091, at https://www.regulations.gov or via email to

XIV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. What does this action do?
The EPA is providing notice that it is approving NMED's request to
update the delegation for the implementation and enforcement of certain
NSPS. The EPA is also taking direct final action to approve NMED's
request updating the delegation of certain NESHAP. With this
delegation, NMED has the primary responsibility to implement and
enforce the delegated standards. See sections V and VI, below, for a
discussion of which standards are being delegated and which are not
being delegated.
II. What is the authority for delegation?
Upon the EPA's finding that the procedures submitted by a State for
the implementation and enforcement of standards of performance for new
sources located in the State are adequate, Section 111(c)(1) of the
Clean Air Act (CAA) authorizes the EPA to delegate its authority to
implement and enforce such standards. The new source performance
standards are codified at 40 CFR part 60.
Section 112(l) of the CAA and 40 CFR part 63, subpart E, authorize
the EPA to delegate authority for the implementation and enforcement of
emission standards for hazardous air pollutants to a State that
satisfies the statutory and regulatory requirements in subpart E. The
hazardous air pollutant standards are codified at 40 CFR parts 61 and
63.
III. What criteria must New Mexico's programs meet to be approved?
In order to receive delegation of NSPS, a State must develop and
submit to the EPA a procedure for implementing and enforcing the NSPS
in the state, and their regulations and resources must be adequate for
the implementation and enforcement of the NSPS. The EPA initially
approved New Mexico's program for the delegation of NSPS on June 6,
1986 (51 FR 20648). The EPA reviewed the laws of the State and the
rules and regulations of the New Mexico Environmental Improvement
Division (now the NMED) and determined the State's procedures,
regulations and resources were adequate for the implementation and
enforcement of the Federal standards. The NSPS delegation was most
recently updated on February 2, 2015 (80 FR 5475). This action notifies
the public that the EPA is updating NMED's delegation to implement and
enforce certain additional NSPS.
Section 112(l)(5) of the CAA requires the EPA to disapprove any
program submitted by a State for the delegation of NESHAP standards if
the EPA determines that:
(A) The authorities contained in the program are not adequate to
assure compliance by the sources within the
[[Page 15965]]
State with respect to each applicable standard, regulation, or
requirement established under section 112;
(B) adequate authority does not exist, or adequate resources are
not available, to implement the program;
(C) the schedule for implementing the program and assuring
compliance by affected sources is not sufficiently expeditious; or
(D) the program is otherwise not in compliance with the guidance
issued by the EPA under section 112(l)(2) or is not likely to satisfy,
in whole or in part, the objectives of the CAA.
In carrying out its responsibilities under section 112(l), the EPA
promulgated regulations at 40 CFR part 63, subpart E, setting forth
criteria for the approval of submitted programs. For example, in order
to obtain approval of a program to implement and enforce Federal
section 112 rules as promulgated without changes (straight delegation),
a State must demonstrate that it meets the criteria of 40 CFR 63.91(d).
Title 40 CFR 63.91(d)(3) provides that interim or final title V program
approval will satisfy the criteria of 40 CFR 63.91(d).\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Some NESHAP standards do not require a source to obtain a
title V permit (e.g., certain area sources that are exempt from the
requirement to obtain a title V permit). For these non-title V
sources, the EPA believes that the State must assure the EPA that it
can implement and enforce the NESHAP for such sources. See 65 FR
55810, 55813 (Sept. 14, 2000).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The NESHAP delegation was most recently approved on February 2,
2015 (80 FR 5475).
IV. How did NMED meet the NSPS and NESHAP program approval criteria?
As to the NSPS standards in 40 CFR part 60, NMED adopted the
Federal standards via incorporation by reference. The NMED regulations
are, therefore, at least as stringent as the EPA's rules. See 40 CFR
60.10(a). Also, in the EPA initial approval of NSPS delegation, we
determined that the State developed procedures for implementing and
enforcing the NSPS in the State, and that the State's regulations and
resources are adequate for the implementation and enforcement of the
Federal standards. See 51 FR 20648 (June 6, 1986).
As to the NESHAP standards in 40 CFR parts 61 and 63, as part of
its Title V submission NMED stated that it intended to use the
mechanism of incorporation by reference to adopt unchanged Federal
section 112 standards into its regulations. This commitment applied to
both existing and future standards as they applied to part 70 sources.
The EPA's final interim approval of New Mexico's Title V operating
permits program delegated the authority to implement certain NESHAP,
effective December 19, 1994 (59 FR 59656). On November 26, 1996, the
EPA promulgated final full approval of the State's operating permits
program, effective January 27, 1997 (61 FR 60032). These interim and
final title V program approvals satisfy the upfront approval criteria
of 40 CFR 63.91(d). Under 40 CFR 63.91(d)(2), once a state has
satisfied the up-front approval criteria, it needs only to reference
the previous demonstration and reaffirm that it still meets the
criteria for any subsequent submittals for delegation of the section
112 standards. NMED has affirmed that it still meets the up-front
approval criteria. With respect to non-Title V sources, the EPA has
previously approved delegation of NESHAP authorities to NMED after
finding adequate authorities to implement and enforce the NESHAP for
non-Title V sources. See 68 FR 69036 (December 11, 2003).
V. What is being delegated?
By letter dated January 22, 2016, the EPA received a request from
NMED to update its NSPS delegation and NESHAP delegation. With certain
exceptions noted in section VI below, NMED's request included NSPS in
40 CFR part 60, as amended between September 24, 2013 and September 15,
2015; NESHAP in 40 CFR part 61, as amended between January 1, 2011 and
September 15, 2015; and NESHAP in 40 CFR part 63, as amended between
August 30, 2013 and September 15, 2015.
By letter dated June 9, 2017, the EPA received a request from NMED
to update its NSPS delegation and NESHAP delegation. With certain
exceptions noted in section VI below, NMED's request included NSPS in
40 CFR part 60, as amended between September 15, 2015 and January 15,
2017; NESHAP in 40 CFR part 61, as amended between September 15, 2015
and January 15, 2017; and NESHAP in 40 CFR part 63, as amended between
September 15, 2015 and January 15, 2017. This action is being taken in
response to NMED's requests noted above.
VI. What is not being delegated?
All authorities not affirmatively and expressly delegated by this
action are not delegated. These include the following part 60, 61 and
63 authorities listed below:
40 CFR part 60, subpart AAA (Standards of Performance for
New Residential Wood Heaters);
40 CFR part 60, subpart QQQQ (Standards of Performance for
New Residential Hydronic Heaters and Forced-Air Furnaces);
40 CFR part 61, subpart B (National Emission Standards for
Radon Emissions from Underground Uranium Mines);
40 CFR part 61, subpart H (National Emission Standards for
Emissions of Radionuclides Other Than Radon From Department of Energy
Facilities);
40 CFR part 61, subpart I (National Emission Standards for
Radionuclide Emissions from Federal Facilities Other Than Nuclear
Regulatory Commission Licensees and Not Covered by Subpart H);
40 CFR part 61, subpart K (National Emission Standards for
Radionuclide Emissions from Elemental Phosphorus Plants);
40 CFR part 61, subpart Q (National Emission Standards for
Radon Emissions from Department of Energy facilities);
40 CFR part 61, subpart R (National Emission Standards for
Radon Emissions from Phosphogypsum Stacks);
40 CFR part 61, subpart T (National Emission Standards for
Radon Emissions from the Disposal of Uranium Mill Tailings);
40 CFR part 61, subpart W (National Emission Standards for
Radon Emissions from Operating Mill Tailings); and
40 CFR part 63, subpart J (National Emission Standards for
Polyvinyl Chloride and Copolymers Production).
In addition, the EPA regulations provide that we cannot delegate to
a State any of the Category II authorities set forth in 40 CFR
63.91(g)(2). These include the following provisions: Sec. 63.6(g),
Approval of Alternative Non-Opacity Standards; Sec. 63.6(h)(9),
Approval of Alternative Opacity Standards; Sec. 63.7(e)(2)(ii) and
(f), Approval of Major Alternatives to Test Methods; Sec. 63.8(f),
Approval of Major Alternatives to Monitoring; and Sec. 63.10(f),
Approval of Major Alternatives to Recordkeeping and Reporting. Also,
some part 61 and part 63 standards have certain provisions that cannot
be delegated to the States. Furthermore, no authorities are delegated
that require rulemaking in the Federal Register to implement, or where
Federal overview is the only way to ensure national consistency in the
application of the standards or requirements of CAA section 112.
Finally, this action does not delegate any authority under section
112(r), the accidental release program.
[[Page 15966]]
All of the inquiries and requests concerning implementation and
enforcement of the excluded standards in the State of New Mexico should
be directed to the EPA Region 6 Office.
In addition, this delegation to NMED to implement and enforce
certain NSPS and NESHAP authorities does not extend to sources or
activities located in Indian country, as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151.
Under this definition, the EPA treats as reservations, trust lands
validly set aside for the use of a Tribe even if the trust lands have
not been formally designated as a reservation. Consistent with previous
federal program approvals or delegations, the EPA will continue to
implement the NSPS and NESHAP in Indian country because NMED has not
submitted information to demonstrate authority over sources and
activities located within the exterior boundaries of Indian
reservations and other areas in Indian country.
VII. How will statutory and regulatory interpretations be made?
In approving the NSPS delegation, NMED will obtain concurrence from
the EPA on any matter involving the interpretation of section 111 of
the CAA or 40 CFR part 60 to the extent that implementation or
enforcement of these provisions have not been covered by prior EPA
determinations or guidance. See 51 FR 20649 (June 6, 1986).
In approving the NESHAP delegation, NMED will obtain concurrence
from the EPA on any matter involving the interpretation of section 112
of the CAA or 40 CFR parts 61 and 63 to the extent that implementation
or enforcement of these provisions have not been covered by prior EPA
determinations or guidance.
VIII. What authority does the EPA have?
We retain the right, as provided by CAA section 111(c)(2), to
enforce any applicable emission standard or requirement under section
111.
We retain the right, as provided by CAA section 112(l)(7) and 40
CFR 63.90(d)(2), to enforce any applicable emission standard or
requirement under section 112. In addition, the EPA may enforce any
federally approved State rule, requirement, or program under 40 CFR
63.90(e) and 63.91(c)(1)(i). The EPA also has the authority to make
decisions under the General Provisions (subpart A) of parts 61 and 63.
We are delegating to NMED some of these authorities, and retaining
others, as explained in sections V and VI above. In addition, the EPA
may review and disapprove State determinations and subsequently require
corrections. See 40 CFR 63.91(g)(1)(ii). EPA also has the authority to
review NMED's implementation and enforcement of approved rules or
programs and to withdraw approval if we find inadequate implementation
or enforcement. See 40 CFR 63.96.
Furthermore, we retain any authority in an individual emission
standard that may not be delegated according to provisions of the
standard. Also, listed in footnote 2 of the part 63 delegation table at
the end of this rule are the authorities that cannot be delegated to
any State or local agency which we therefore retain.
Finally, we retain the authorities stated in the original
delegation agreement. See 51 FR 20648-20650 (June 6, 1986).
IX. What information must NMED provide to the EPA?
NMED must provide any additional compliance related information to
EPA, Region 6, Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance, within
45 days of a request under 40 CFR 63.96(a). In receiving delegation for
specific General Provisions authorities, NMED must submit to EPA Region
6, on a semi-annual basis, copies of determinations issued under these
authorities. See 40 CFR 63.91(g)(1)(ii). For 40 CFR part 63 standards,
these determinations include: Sec. 63.1, Applicability Determinations;
Sec. 63.6(e), Operation and Maintenance Requirements--Responsibility
for Determining Compliance; Sec. 63.6(f), Compliance with Non-Opacity
Standards--Responsibility for Determining Compliance; Sec. 63.6(h),
Compliance with Opacity and Visible Emissions Standards--Responsibility
for Determining Compliance; Sec. 63.7(c)(2)(i) and (d), Approval of
Site-Specific Test Plans; Sec. 63.7(e)(2)(i), Approval of Minor
Alternatives to Test Methods; Sec. 63.7(e)(2)(ii) and (f), Approval of
Intermediate Alternatives to Test Methods; Sec. 63.7(e)(2)(iii),
Approval of Shorter Sampling Times and Volumes When Necessitated by
Process Variables or Other Factors; Sec. 63.7(e)(2)(iv) and (h)(2) and
(3), Waiver of Performance Testing; Sec. 63.8(c)(1) and (e)(1),
Approval of Site-Specific Performance Evaluation (Monitoring) Test
Plans; Sec. 63.8(f), Approval of Minor Alternatives to Monitoring;
Sec. 63.8(f), Approval of Intermediate Alternatives to Monitoring;
Sec. Sec. 63.9 and 63.10, Approval of Adjustments to Time Periods for
Submitting Reports; Sec. 63.10(f), Approval of Minor Alternatives to
Recordkeeping and Reporting; Sec. 63.7(a)(4), Extension of Performance
Test Deadline.
X. What is the EPA's oversight role?
The EPA oversees NMED's decisions to ensure the delegated
authorities are being adequately implemented and enforced. We will
integrate oversight of the delegated authorities into the existing
mechanisms and resources for oversight currently in place. If, during
oversight, we determine that NMED made decisions that decreased the
stringency of the delegated standards, then NMED shall be required to
take corrective actions and the source(s) affected by the decisions
will be notified. See 40 CFR 63.91(g)(1)(ii) and (b). We will initiate
withdrawal of the program or rule if the corrective actions taken are
insufficient. See 51 FR 20648 (June 6, 1986).
XI. Should sources submit notices to the EPA or NMED?
Sources located outside the boundaries of Bernalillo County and
outside of Indian country should submit all of the information required
pursuant to the delegated authorities in the Federal NSPS and NESHAP
(40 CFR parts 60, 61 and 63) directly to the NMED at the following
address: New Mexico Environment Department, 525 Camino de los Marquez,
Suite I, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87505. The NMED is the primary point of
contact with respect to delegated NSPS and NESHAP authorities. Sources
do not need to send a copy to the EPA. The EPA Region 6 waives the
requirement that notifications and reports for delegated authorities be
submitted to the EPA in addition to NMED in accordance with 40 CFR
63.9(a)(4)(ii) and 63.10(a)(4)(ii).\2\ For those authorities not
delegated, sources must continue to submit all appropriate information
to the EPA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ This waiver only extends to the submission of copies of
notifications and reports; EPA does not waive the requirements in
delegated standards that require notifications and reports be
submitted to an electronic database (e.g., 40 CFR part 63, subpart
HHHHHHH).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
XII. How will unchanged authorities be delegated to NMED in the future?
In the future, NMED will only need to send a letter of request to
update their delegation to EPA, Region 6, for those NSPS which they
have adopted by reference. The EPA will amend the relevant portions of
the Code of Federal Regulations showing which NSPS standards have been
delegated to NMED. Also, in the future, NMED will only need to send a
letter of request for approval to EPA, Region 6, for those NESHAP
regulations that NMED has adopted by reference. The letter must
reference the previous up-front approval demonstration and reaffirm
that it still
[[Page 15967]]
meets the up-front approval criteria. We will respond in writing to the
request stating that the request for delegation is either granted or
denied. A Federal Register action will be published to inform the
public and affected sources of the delegation, indicate where source
notifications and reports should be sent, and to amend the relevant
portions of the Code of Federal Regulations showing which NESHAP
standards have been delegated to NMED.
XIII. Final Action
The public was provided the opportunity to comment on the proposed
approval of the program and mechanism for delegation of section 112
standards, as they apply to part 70 sources, on May 19, 1994, for the
proposed interim approval of NMED's Title V operating permits program;
and on November 26, 1996, for the proposed final approval of NMED's
Title V operating permits program. In the EPA's final full approval of
New Mexico's Operating Permits Program on November 26, 1996, the EPA
discussed the public comments on the delegation of the NESHAP
authorities. In today's action, the public is given the opportunity to
comment on the approval of NMED's request for delegation of authority
to implement and enforce certain section 112 standards for all sources
(both Title V and non-Title V sources) which have been adopted by
reference into New Mexico's state regulations. However, the Agency
views the approval of these requests as a noncontroversial action and
anticipates no relevant adverse comments. Therefore, the EPA is
publishing this rule without prior proposal. However, in the proposed
rules section of this issue of the Federal Register, the EPA is
publishing a separate document that will serve as the proposal to
approve the NESHAP delegation described in this action if relevant
adverse comments are received. This action will be effective June 12,
2018 without further notice unless we receive relevant adverse comment
by May 14, 2018.
If we receive relevant adverse comments, we will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public the rule will
not take effect with respect to the updated NESHAP delegation. We will
address all public comments in a subsequent final rule based on the
proposed rule. We will not institute a second comment period on this
action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time.
Please note that if we receive relevant adverse comment 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 a relevant adverse
comment.
XIV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this
action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and therefore is not
subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. For this
reason, this action is also not subject to Executive Order 13211,
``Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). This action
is not an Executive Order 13771 regulatory action because this action
is not significant under Executive Order 12866. This action merely
approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and imposes no
additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. Accordingly,
the Administrator certifies that this rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because this rule
approves pre-existing requirements under state law and does not impose
any additional enforceable duty beyond that required by state law, it
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). The EPA believes that this action does not
have disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects on minority populations, low-income populations and/or
indigenous peoples, as specified in Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629,
February 16, 1994).
The delegation is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation
land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe has
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have tribal implications as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it
impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal
law.
This action also does not have Federalism implications because it
does not have substantial direct effects on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government, as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August
10, 1999). This action merely approves a state request to receive
delegation of certain Federal standards, and does not alter the
relationship or the distribution of power and responsibilities
established in the Clean Air Act. This rule also is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 ``Protection of Children from Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because
it is not economically significant.
In reviewing delegation submissions, EPA's role is to approve
submissions, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
This action is not subject to the 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 CAA. This rule does not impose an information collection
burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other
required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by June 12, 2018. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this rule 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)).
