ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R06-OAR-2013-0614; FRL-9935-52-Region 6]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
New Mexico; Albuquerque/Bernalillo County; Revisions to State Boards 
and Conflict of Interest Provisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve revisions to the Albuquerque/Bernalillo County, New Mexico 
State Implementation Plan for state board composition and conflict of 
interest provisions. These revisions add administrative updates and 
clarifying changes to the state board and conflict of interest 
provisions in the city and county ordinances for the Albuquerque/
Bernalillo County Air Quality Control Board. The EPA is proposing to 
approve these revisions pursuant to sections 110 and 128 of the Clean 
Air Act (CAA).

DATES: Written comments should be received on or before November 18, 
2015.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Mr. Guy Donaldson, Chief, Air 
Planning Section (6PD-L), Environmental Protection Agency, 1445 Ross 
Avenue, Suite 1200, Dallas, Texas 75202-2733. Comments may also be 
submitted electronically or through hand delivery/courier by following 
the detailed instructions in the ADDRESSES section of the direct final 
rule located in the rules section of this Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. John Walser, (214) 665-7128, 
walser.john@epa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of this Federal 
Register, the EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct 
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as 
noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A 
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final 
rule. If no relevant adverse comments are received in response to this 
action no further activity is contemplated. If the EPA receives 
relevant adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 
all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final 
rule based on this proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second 
comment period. Any

parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this 
time.
    We are also proposing to approve a ministerial change to the Code 
of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 40 CFR 52.1620(e). The entry titled 
``City of Albuquerque request for redesignation'' was mistakenly placed 
in the first table of 40 CFR 52.1620(e) under the heading ``EPA 
Approved city of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County Ordinances for State 
Board Composition and Conflict of Interest Provisions'' and belongs in 
the second table of 40 CFR 52.1620(e) under the heading ``EPA-Approved 
Nonregulatory Provisions and Quasi-Regulatory Measures in the New 
Mexico SIP.''
    For additional information, see the direct final rule which is 
located in the rules section of this Federal Register.

    Dated: September 30, 2015.
Ron Curry,
Regional Administrator, Region 6.
