[EPA-R06-OAR-2006-0990; FRL-9141-1]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
New Mexico; Revisions to New Mexico Transportation Conformity 
Regulations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency is approving revisions to 
the New Mexico State Implementation Plan (SIP) concerning the State 
transportation conformity rules. On November 2, 2006, the State of New 
Mexico submitted revisions to the New Mexico Administrative Code (NMAC) 
20.2.99 to ensure consistency with amendments to the Federal 
Transportation Conformity Rule. On June 27, 2007, and May 13, 2009, the 
State submitted further revisions to NMAC 20.2.99 for consistency with 
subsequent Federal rule revisions. These plan revisions meet statutory 
and regulatory requirements, and are consistent with EPA's guidance.

DATES: This rule is effective on June 22, 2010 without further notice, 
unless EPA receives relevant adverse comment by May 24, 2010. If EPA 
receives such comment, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal in the 
Federal Register informing the public that this rule will not take 
effect.

I. Background

    The 1990 CAA required each State to submit a revision to its SIP to 
address the requirements of Section 176(c) of the Act pertaining to 
conformity determinations for metropolitan transportation plans, 
transportation improvement programs and other projects funded by the 
Federal Highway Administration or the Federal Transit Administration. 
This process is known as ``transportation conformity,'' and serves to 
ensure that federally supported highway and transit projects are 
consistent with the purpose of the State's air quality plans in 
nonattainment and maintenance areas. EPA promulgated final rules on 
transportation conformity on November, 24, 1993 (58 FR 62188), and 
these rules have been revised many times since; the latest revision is 
that of January 24, 2008 (73 FR 4420). The initial New Mexico SIP 
revision that incorporated EPA's conformity rules was adopted on 
November 9, 1998, and it also has been revised several times to remain 
in alignment with the Federal rules. The latest EPA approval of New 
Mexico transportation conformity SIP provisions was on March 20, 2000 
(65 FR 14877). This approval was a partial approval, with no action 
taken on sections 109.C.1, 114, 128.C-F, 137.E, 139.A.2, 140.A.1, and 
147.B, which could not be approved at that time due to the March 2, 
1999 United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia 
Circuit decision in Environmental Defense Fund v. Environmental 
Protection Agency, 167 F.3d 641 (D.C. Cir. 1999). Revisions to the New 
Mexico transportation conformity rules were submitted by the State to 
EPA on November 2, 2006, June 27, 2007, and May 13, 2009.
    The November 2, 2006 SIP revision addresses amendments to the 
Federal transportation conformity rule made on August 6, 2002 (67 FR 
50808) and July 1, 2004 (68 FR 40003). The June 27, 2007 SIP revision 
submitted by the State addresses amendments to the Federal 
transportation conformity rule made on May 6, 2005 (70 FR 24279) and 
March 10, 2006 (71 FR 12467). The May 13, 2009 SIP revision submitted 
by the State addresses amendments to the Federal transportation 
conformity rule made on January 24, 2008 (73 FR 4420). For more 
information on the State submittals and the amendments to the Federal 
transportation conformity rule please see our Technical Support 
Document (TSD) found in the electronic docket for this action. The 
electronic docket can be found at the Web site http://www.regulations.gov (Docket number EPA-R06-OAR-2006-0990).

 II. Analysis of the State's Submittals

1. November 2, 2006, New Mexico SIP Submittal

    In this submittal the State amended NMAC 20.2.99 as represented in 
Table 1, to bring the rules into alignment with Federal provisions. 
These changes include:
     Minor revisions to the 18-month requirement for the 
initial SIP submissions;
     Addition of a grace period for newly designated 
nonattainment areas;
     Adding the 1997 8-hour Ozone and fine particulate matter 
(PM2.5) National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS); and
     Miscellaneous revisions to clarify the existing regulation 
and improve implementation.
    This revision is consistent with the amendments to the Federal 
transportation conformity rule made on August 6, 2002 (67 FR 50808) and 
July 1, 2004 (68 FR 40003) which incorporate:
     A requirement that conformity to be redetermined within 18 
months of an initial State implementation plan submission;
     A one-year grace period for newly designated nonattainment 
areas, consistent with an October 27, 2000 amendment to the Clean Air 
Act (42 U.S.C. 7506(c)(6));
     Procedures for implementing conformity for the 1997 ozone 
and PM2.5 NAAQS;
     Procedures for advancing highway and transit projects 
during a conformity lapse, and
     The administrative process for determining whether the 
motor vehicle emissions budgets (MVEB) in SIP submissions are 
appropriate to use in conformity determinations.
    A more detailed analysis of the amendments contained in this SIP 
submittal can be found in the TSD found in the electronic docket for 
this action.

2. June 27, 2007, New Mexico SIP Submittal

    In this submittal the State amended NMAC 20.2.99 as represented in 
Table 1, to bring the rules into alignment with Federal provisions by:
     Adding nitrogen oxides (NOX), volatile organic 
compounds (VOCs), sulfur oxides (SOX), and ammonia 
(NH3), each of which are precursors to PM2.5, to 
the transportation conformity determinations for PM2.5 
nonattainment and maintenance areas; and
     Establishing criteria for which transportation projects 
must be analyzed for local impacts of particle emissions in 
nonttainment and maintenance areas for the PM2.5 and coarse 
particulate matter (PM10) NAAQS.
    This revision is consistent with the amendments to the Federal 
transportation conformity rule made on May 6, 2005 (70 FR 24279) and 
March 10, 2006 (71 FR 12467) which:
     Incorporate NOX, VOCs, SOX, and 
NH3 as possible transportation-related PM2.5 
precursors;
     Require that upon submittal of a PM2.5 SIP, a 
PM2.5 precursor must be considered in an area's conformity 
determinations if the SIP determines that emissions for that precursor 
are a significant contributor to the area's PM2.5 air 
quality problem;
     Require criteria for determining which transportation 
projects must be analyzed for local impacts of particle emissions in 
PM2.5 and PM10 nonattainment and maintenance 
areas.
    A more detailed analysis of the amendments contained in this SIP 
submittal can be found in the TSD found in the electronic docket for 
this action.

2. May 13, 2009, New Mexico SIP Submittal

    In this submittal the State amended NMAC 20.2.99 sections 
represented in Table 1 of this notice. The amendments help bring the 
State rules into alignment with Federal provisions.
    These changes:
     Provide more time for State and local governments to meet 
conformity requirements;
     Provide a one-year grace period before the consequences of 
not meeting certain conformity requirements apply;
     Allow the option of shortening the timeframe of conformity 
determinations;
     Provide procedures for areas to use in substituting or 
adding transportation control measures (TCMs) to approved SIPs, and;
     Streamline other provisions.
    This revision is consistent with the January 24, 2008 (73 FR 4420) 
transportation conformity rule amendments. These amendments were made 
by EPA to implement the 2005 Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient 
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), (Pub. L. 
109-59), and implement other changes not related to SAFETEA-LU. Prior 
to SAFETEA-LU, States were required to address these provisions as well 
as all other Federal conformity rule provisions in their conformity 
SIPs. With amendments to address SAFETEA-LU, EPA now allows States to 
submit

[[Page 21171]]

conformity SIPs that address only the following sections of the Federal 
rule that need to be tailored to a State's individual circumstances:
     40 CFR 93.105, which addresses consultation procedures;
     40 CFR 93.122(a)(4)(ii), which states that conformity SIPs 
must require that written commitments to control measures be obtained 
prior to a conformity determination if the control measures are not 
included in an MPO's transportation plan and TIP, and that such 
commitments be fulfilled; and
     40 CFR 93.125(c), which states that conformity SIPs must 
require that written commitments to mitigation measures be obtained 
prior to a project-level conformity determination, and that project 
sponsors comply with such commitments.
    Other changes to Federal transportation conformity rule regulations 
not related to SAFETEA-LU were made:
     Allowing the U.S. Department of Transportation, in 
consultation with EPA, to make categorical hot-spot findings for 
projects in areas that are in nonattainment or maintenance for carbon 
monoxide; and
     Removing the provision that allowed 8-hour ozone areas to 
use other tests for conformity instead of their 1-hour ozone SIP 
budgets.
    However, the State has opted to revise 20.2.99 NMAC to reflect all 
amendments to the Federal Transportation Conformity Rule. A more 
detailed analysis of the amendments contained in this SIP submittal can 
be found in the TSD for this action.

III. Final Action

    EPA is approving revisions to the New Mexico SIP and associated 
rules which were submitted by NMED on November 2, 2006, June 27, 2007, 
and May 13, 2009. These revisions achieve the purpose of bringing the 
State SIP and associated rules into alignment with Federal statutes and 
regulations. Table 1 represents the revised sections of NMAC 20.2.99 
that EPA is approving in this action. Where sections were repeated in 
subsequent revisions, the more recent revisions are taken to supersede 
the previous revisions, since the more recent language captures the 
previous revisions.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We have evaluated the State's submittals and have determined that 
they meet the applicable requirements of the Clean Air Act and EPA 
regulations, and are consistent with EPA policy.
    EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal because we view 
this as a non-controversial amendment and anticipate no 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 June 22, 2010 
without further notice unless we receive adverse comment by May 24, 
2010. If we receive adverse comments, we will publish a timely 
withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that the rule 
will not take effect. 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 now. Please note that if we receive 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 an 
adverse comment.

IV. 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 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; and
     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). In addition, 
this rule 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.
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the 
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement

[[Page 21172]]

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 action 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 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 June 22, 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).)
