Re: Request for updated delegation of Federal NSPS and NESHAP standards via 

amendments to 20.11.63 NMAC, New Source Peiformance Standards for Stationary Sources and 

20.11.64 NMAC, Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary Sources 

Dear Mr. Curry, 

I respectfully request that EPA update the City of Albuquerque Air Quality Program's 

(AQP) delegation of applicable requirements of 40 CFR Parts 60, 61, and 63, pursuant 

to Sections 111 and 112 of the federal Clean Air Act, as amended. The AlbuquerqueBernalillo County Air Quality Control Board (Air Board) adopted amendments to 

20.11.63 NMAC, New Source Peiformance Standards for Stationary Sources and 20.11.64 

NMAC, Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary Sources, to incorporate 

delegated federal emissions standards promulgated through September 13, 2013, after a 

public hearing held on January 8, 2014. The amended regulations were subsequendy 

filed with the New Mexico State Records Center on January 10, 2014, and become 

effective February 10, 2014. 

The requested delegation will encompass applicable requirements through September 13, 

2013. 40 CFR 63.91 (a), Applicable Approval Criteria, requires that "a State must satisfy the 

criteria in Paragraph (d) of this section (i.e.40 CFR 63.91 (d), Cn'teria for approva~ for upfront approval to obtain delegation of the Federal Section 112 rules, emission standards, 

or requirements. Once a State has demonstrated it meets the criteria in Paragraph (d) of 

this section (i.e. Cn'teria for approva~, it only needs to reference that demonstration and 

reaffirm that it still meets the criteria in future submittals." The AQP reaffirms that it 

has previously satisfied the Criteria for approval relating to delegation of the Section 112 

rules and that it will continue to carry out those requirements. In addition, 40 CFR 

63.91 (d)(3) states that "interim or final Tide V program approval will satisfy the criteria 

set forth in 40 CFR 63.91 (d), up-front approval criteria." This letter also serves to 

Albuquerque - Making History 1706-2006 
reaffirm that the AQP as the agent for the Air Board, currently has an approved Title V 

program and will continue to meet the criteria for program approval under Title V. 

Attached to this letter is a comprehensive list of all of the 40 CFR Part 60, 61, and 63 

standards for which delegation is being requested. 

If you require additional information about this request for updated delegation authority, 

please contact Ms. Margaret Nieto, Control Strategies Supervisor of the Air Quality 

Program at (505) 768-2637. 

Sincerely, 

;tL(
