ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is approving the State
Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by
the State of New Mexico to meet the
Emissions Inventory (EI), and Emissions
Statement (ES) requirements of the
Federal Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act)
for the Sunland Park ozone
nonattainment area for the 2015
8-hour ozone national ambient air
quality standards (NAAQS). EPA is
approving this action pursuant to
section 110 and part D of the CAA and
EPA’s regulations.
DATES: This final rule is effective on
April 6, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document wherever
‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean
the EPA.
I. Background
On October 15, 2021 (86 FR 57388),
the EPA published a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NPRM) for the State of
New Mexico, for the approval of the
State’s 2017 base year emission
inventories and emissions statement
requirements for the Sunland Park
Sunland Park marginal ozone
nonattainment area for the 2015 ozone
NAAQS. The background for this action
and rational for EPA’s proposed action
are explained in the NPRM and will not
be restated here. One anonymous
comment was received during the
public comment period which ended on
November 15, 2021.
II. Response to Comments
Comment: The commenter believes
that New Mexico is doing its best in
implementing regulations promulgated
by the EPA under the CAA. The
commenter inquired about EPA’s
procedure for enforcing the CAA
regulations, and expressed concern that
the clean air policy would fail without
the collective actions of other states.
Response: We appreciate the
commenter’s perspective that New
Mexico is doing its best in
implementing CAA regulations
promulgated by the EPA. However, the
issues raised by the commenter are
outside the scope of this action. This
action is limited to the approval of the
Emissions Inventory and Emissions
Statement requirements for the 2015 8hour ozone NAAQS submitted by the
state of New Mexico, for the Sunland
Parkozone nonattainment area, New
Mexico, under the CAA.
The CAA establishes a comprehensive
program for controlling and improving
the nation’s air quality through state and
federal regulation. This comprehensive
program is based on cooperative
federalism that divides responsibilities
between the EPA and the states. Under
the CAA, the EPA establishes the
national air quality standards, and the
states are primarily responsible for
implementing those standards, with
oversight from EPA.
Upon the promulgation or revision of
a NAAQS by the EPA, each state is
required to submit a state
implementation plan (SIP). The SIP
provides the ‘‘implementation,
maintenance, and enforcement’’ of the
NAAQS, and must ‘‘contain adequate
provisions’’ prohibiting air emissions in
PO 00000
Frm 00034
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
amounts that contribute significantly to
nonattainment or that interfere with the
maintenance of the NAAQS in
neighboring states. 42 U.S.C.
7410(a)(2)(D)(i)(I). Where a state fails to
submit all or a portion of a SIP as
required by the CAA, or where the EPA
disapproves a SIP as not meeting the
CAA requirements, the EPA will assert
federal oversight authority and develop
a federal implementation plan (FIP) for
the state. It may also develop a FIP for
tribal lands if a tribe elects not to
develop their own implementation plan,
as appropriate.
The applicable state and the EPA both
have authority to bring enforcement
actions for violations of federallyapproved SIPs. Members of the public
can also file citizen suits under the CAA
to address violations of SIPs. For more
details on Air Quality Implementation
Plans please visit https://www.epa.gov/
air-quality-implementation-plans.
III. Final Action
EPA is approving the New Mexico SIP
revisions submitted on September 10,
2020 to address the emissions inventory
and emissions statement requirements
for the Sunland Park area for the 2015
ozone NAAQS. The emissions inventory
we are approving is listed in Table 1 of
the NPRM. We are approving the
emissions inventory because it contains
a comprehensive, accurate, and current
inventory of actual emissions for all
relevant sources in accordance with
CAA sections 172(c)(3) and 182(a)(1)
requirements. We are also approving the
New Mexico emission statement
because it includes the approved
provision addressing the emission
statement requirement in CAA section
182(a)(3)(B). New Mexico adopted the
emission inventories consistent with the
requirement for reasonable public notice
and opportunity for a public hearing.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the CAA, 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, the
EPA’s role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of
the CAA. Accordingly, this action
merely proposes to approve 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 Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735,
