SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document wherever 

‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean 

the EPA. 

I. Background 

The background for today’s action is 

discussed in detail in our March 26, 

2015, proposal (80 FR 15963). In that 

rulemaking action, we proposed to 

approve (1) an August 27, 2013, SIP 

submittal from the State of New Mexico 

pertaining to the implementation, 

maintenance and enforcement of the 

2008 ozone NAAQS, (2) a March 12, 

2014, SIP submittal pertaining to the 

implementation, maintenance and 

enforcement of the 2008 nitrogen 

dioxide NAAQS, and; (3) that the 

November 27, 2012 and October 9, 2014 

final SIP actions pertaining to the 

interstate transport requirement for 

visibility protection meet the 

requirement for the 2006 PM 2.5 

NAAQS. The public comment period for 

the March 26, 2015, proposal (80 FR 

15963) expired on April 27, 2015, and 

we did not receive any comments 

concerning our proposal. Therefore, we 

are finalizing our proposed action. 

II. Final Action 

We are approving the (1) August 27, 

2013, SIP submittal from the State of 

New Mexico pertaining to the 

implementation, maintenance and 

enforcement of the 2008 ozone NAAQS, 

(2) March 12, 2014, SIP submittal 

pertaining to the implementation, 

maintenance and enforcement of the 

2008 nitrogen dioxide NAAQS, and; (3) 

the November 27, 2012 and October 9, 

2014 final SIP actions pertaining to the 

interstate transport requirement for 

visibility protection as meeting the 

requirement for the 2006 PM 2.5 

NAAQS. 

III. 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 Clean Air 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 Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, 

January 21, 2011); 

• 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, the SIP is not approved 

to apply on any Indian reservation land 

or in any other area where 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 and will not impose 

substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law as 

specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 

FR 67249, November 9, 2000). 

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 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).

Air Act, petitions for judicial review of 

this action must be filed in the United 

States Court of Appeals for the 

appropriate circuit by August 24, 2015. 

Filing a petition for reconsideration by 

the Administrator of this final rule does

the purpose 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).)
