New Source Performance Standards 

and National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants; Delegation 

of Authority to New Mexico 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule; delegation of 

authority. 

SUMMARY: The New Mexico 

Environment Department (NMED) has 

submitted updated regulations for 

receiving delegation and approval of a 

program for the implementation and 

enforcement of certain New Source 

Performance Standards (NSPS) and 

National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for 

all sources (both Title V and non-Title 

V sources). These updated regulations 

apply to certain NSPS promulgated by 

the EPA and amended between 

September 24, 2013 and January 15, 

2017; certain NESHAP promulgated by 

the EPA and amended between January 

1, 2011 and January 15, 2017; and other 

NESHAP promulgated by the EPA and 

amended between August 30, 2013 and 

January 15, 2017, as adopted by the 

NMED. The delegation of authority 

under this action does not apply to 

sources located in Bernalillo County, 

New Mexico, or to sources located in 

areas defined as Indian Country. The 

EPA is providing notice that it is 

updating the delegation of certain NSPS 

to NMED, and taking final action to 

approve the delegation of certain 

NESHAP to NMED. 

DATES: This rule is effective on October 

12, 2018.

XVI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. Background 

On April 13, 2018, EPA published a 

direct final rule and accompanying 

proposal approving the updated 

delegation of authority for 

implementation and enforcement of 

NSPS and NESHAPs for all sources 

(both part 70 and non-part 70 sources) 

to the NMED. The direct final rule and 

proposal were published without prior 

proposal because EPA anticipated no 

relevant adverse comments. See 83 FR 

15964 and 83 FR 16027, respectively. 

EPA stated in the direct final rule that 

if we receive relevant adverse comments 

by May 14, 2018, we would publish a 

timely withdrawal in the Federal 

Register, and all public comments 

received would be addressed in a 

subsequent final rule based on the 

proposed rule. 

EPA received an adverse comment on 

May 14, 2018, and accordingly 

withdrew the direct final rule on June 

5, 2018, pursuant to sections 111 and 

112 of the CAA. See 83 FR 25936. The 

comment and our response to that 

comment follows below. 

II. Response to Comment 

Comment: EPA received an 

anonymous adverse comment in 

response to the proposed rulemaking. 

The comment includes several personal 

observations and statements critical of 

New Mexico’s ability to maintain and 

oversee its air quality programs. The 

commenter recommends that the 

proposed update to New Mexico’s 

NESHAP delegation not be approved 

until EPA investigates the commenter’s 

allegations and New Mexico has 

addressed the alleged deficiencies. See 

Docket for the entire comment. 

EPA’s Response: We thank the 

commenter for the comment. Section 

112(l) of the Act and EPA’s 

implementing regulations at 40 CFR part 

63, subpart E primarily govern EPA’s 

actions on State requests for delegation 

of authority to implement and enforce 

the NESHAP program. CAA section 

112(l)(5)(B) states that EPA shall 

disapprove a NESHAP program 

submitted by a State if we find that 

adequate resources are not available to 

implement the program. See also 40 

CFR 63.91(d)(3)(iii). Several concerns 

expressed by the commenter relate to 

the adequacy of resources (including the 

lack of technically experienced and 

qualified staff) maintained by the NMED 

Air Quality Bureau. NMED provided 

EPA with a response to those comments 

that included a description of current 

resources and experience within the Air 

Quality Bureau. See Docket for NMED’s 

response. In addition, consistent with 

40 CFR 63.91(d)(2), New Mexico’s 

delegation update request included a 

reference to its previous demonstration 

and a reaffirmation that the up-front 

approval criteria for delegation are still 

being met. Based on this information as 

well as discussions with the 

Compliance and Enforcement Division 

and the Criminal Investigation Division 

within EPA Region 6, we have not 

identified sufficient information to 

support the necessary finding for 

disapproval of the requested NESHAP 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with RULES
46108 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 177 / Wednesday, September 12, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 

1Some NESHAP standards do not require a 

source to obtain a title V permit (e.g., certain area 

sources that are exempt from the requirement to 

obtain a title V permit). For these non-title V 

sources, the EPA believes that the State must assure 

the EPA that it can implement and enforce the 

NESHAP for such sources. See 65 FR 55810, 55813 

(Sept. 14, 2000). 

delegation update. The remainder of the 

commenter’s concerns (e.g., meeting the 

requirements of EPA’s compliance 

monitoring plan) relate to matters that 

are more appropriately addressed as 

part of our oversight responsibilities. 

EPA oversees NMED’s decisions to 

ensure the delegated authorities are 

being adequately implemented and 

enforced. We integrate oversight of the 

delegated authorities into the existing 

mechanisms and resources for oversight 

currently in place. If, during oversight, 

we determine that NMED made 

decisions which decreased the 

stringency of the delegated standards, 

then NMED would be required to take 

corrective actions and the source(s) 

affected by the decisions will be 

notified, as required by 40 CFR 

63.91(g)(1)(ii). Our oversight authorities 

allow us to initiate withdrawal of the 

program delegation if the corrective 

actions taken are insufficient. 

III. What does this action do? 

The EPA is providing notice that it is 

approving NMED’s request updating the 

delegation for the implementation and 

enforcement of certain NSPS. The EPA 

is also taking final action to approve 

NMED’s request updating the delegation 

of certain NESHAP. With this 

delegation, NMED has the primary 

responsibility to implement and enforce 

the delegated standards. See sections VII 

and VIII, below, for a discussion of 

which standards are being delegated 

and which are not being delegated. 

IV. What is the authority for 

delegation? 

Upon the EPA’s finding that the 

procedures submitted by a State for the 

implementation and enforcement of 

standards of performance for new 

sources located in the State are 

adequate, Section 111(c)(1) of the Clean 

Air Act (CAA) authorizes the EPA to 

delegate its authority to implement and 

enforce such standards. The new source 

performance standards are codified at 

40 CFR part 60. 

Section 112(l) of the CAA and 40 CFR 

part 63, subpart E, authorize the EPA to 

delegate authority for the 

implementation and enforcement of 

emission standards for hazardous air 

pollutants to a State that satisfies the 

statutory and regulatory requirements in 

subpart E. The hazardous air pollutant 

standards are codified at 40 CFR parts 

61 and 63. 

V. What criteria must New Mexico’s 

programs meet to be approved? 

In order to receive delegation of 

NSPS, a State must develop and submit 

to the EPA a procedure for 

implementing and enforcing the NSPS 

in the state, and their regulations and 

resources must be adequate for the 

implementation and enforcement of the 

NSPS. The EPA initially approved New 

Mexico’s program for the delegation of 

NSPS on June 6, 1986 (51 FR 20648). 

The EPA reviewed the laws of the State 

and the rules and regulations of the New 

Mexico Environmental Improvement 

Division (now the NMED) and 

determined the State’s procedures, 

regulations and resources adequate for 

the implementation and enforcement of 

the Federal standards. The NSPS 

delegation was most recently updated 

on February 2, 2015 (80 FR 5475). This 

action notifies the public that the EPA 

is updating NMED’s delegation to 

implement and enforce certain 

additional NSPS. 

Section 112(l)(5) of the CAA requires 

the EPA to disapprove any program 

submitted by a State for the delegation 

of NESHAP standards if the EPA 

determines that: 

(A) The authorities contained in the 

program are not adequate to assure 

compliance by the sources within the 

State with respect to each applicable 

standard, regulation, or requirement 

established under section 112; 

(B) adequate authority does not exist, 

or adequate resources are not available, 

to implement the program; 

(C) the schedule for implementing the 

program and assuring compliance by 

affected sources is not sufficiently 

expeditious; or 

(D) the program is otherwise not in 

compliance with the guidance issued by 

the EPA under section 112(l)(2) or is not 

likely to satisfy, in whole or in part, the 

objectives of the CAA. 

In carrying out its responsibilities 

under section 112(l), the EPA 

promulgated regulations at 40 CFR part 

63, subpart E setting forth criteria for the 

approval of submitted programs. For 

example, in order to obtain approval of 

a program to implement and enforce 

Federal section 112 rules as 

promulgated without changes (straight 

delegation), a State must demonstrate 

that it meets the criteria of 40 CFR 

63.91(d). 40 CFR 63.91(d)(3) provides 

that interim or final title V program 

approval will satisfy the criteria of 40 

CFR 63.91(d).1

The NESHAP delegation was most 

recently approved on February 2, 2015 

(80 FR 5475). 

VI. How did NMED meet the NSPS and 

NESHAP program approval criteria? 

As to the NSPS standards in 40 CFR 

part 60, NMED adopted the Federal 

standards via incorporation by 

reference. The NMED regulations are, 

therefore, at least as stringent as the 

EPA’s rules. See 40 CFR 60.10(a). Also, 

in the EPA initial approval of NSPS 

delegation, we determined that the State 

developed procedures for implementing 

and enforcing the NSPS in the State, 

and that the State’s regulations and 

resources are adequate for the 

implementation and enforcement of the 

Federal standards. See 51 FR 20648 

(June 6, 1986). 

As to the NESHAP standards in 40 

CFR parts 61 and 63, as part of its Title 

V submission NMED stated that it 

intended to use the mechanism of 

incorporation by reference to adopt 

unchanged Federal section 112 

standards into its regulations. This 

commitment applied to both existing 

and future standards as they applied to 

part 70 sources. The EPA’s final interim 

approval of New Mexico’s Title V 

operating permits program delegated the 

authority to implement certain 

NESHAP, effective December 19, 1994 

(59 FR 59656). On November 26, 1996, 

the EPA promulgated final full approval 

of the State’s operating permits program, 

effective January 27, 1997 (61 FR 

60032). These interim and final title V 

program approvals satisfy the upfront 

approval criteria of 40 CFR 63.91(d). 

Under 40 CFR 63.91(d)(2), once a state 

has satisfied the up-front approval 

criteria, it needs only to reference the 

previous demonstration and reaffirm 

that it still meets the criteria for any 

subsequent submittals for delegation of 

the section 112 standards. NMED has 

affirmed that it still meets the up-front 

approval criteria. With respect to nonTitle V sources, the EPA has previously 

approved delegation of NESHAP 

authorities to NMED after finding 

adequate authorities to implement and 

enforce the NESHAP for non-Title V 

sources. See 68 FR 69036 (December 11, 

2003). 

VII. What is being delegated? 

By letter dated January 22, 2016, the 

EPA received a request from NMED to 

update its NSPS delegation and 

NESHAP delegation. With certain 

exceptions noted in section VIII below, 

NMED’s request included NSPS in 40 

CFR part 60, as amended between 

September 24, 2013 and September 15, 

2015; NESHAP in 40 CFR part 61, as 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 177 / Wednesday, September 12, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 46109 

amended between January 1, 2011 and 

September 15, 2015; and NESHAP in 40 

CFR part 63, as amended between 

August 30, 2013 and September 15, 

2015. 

By letter dated June 9, 2017, the EPA 

received a request from NMED to update 

its NSPS delegation and NESHAP 

delegation. With certain exceptions 

noted in section VIII below, NMED’s 

request included NSPS in 40 CFR part 

60, as amended between September 15, 

2015 and January 15, 2017; NESHAP in 

40 CFR part 61, as amended between 

September 15, 2015 and January 15, 

2017; and NESHAP in 40 CFR part 63, 

as amended between September 15, 

2015 and January 15, 2017. This action 

is being taken in response to NMED’s 

requests noted above. 

VIII. What is not being delegated? 

All authorities not affirmatively and 

expressly delegated by this action are 

not delegated. These include the 

following part 60, 61 and 63 authorities 

listed below: 

• 40 CFR part 60, subpart AAA 

(Standards of Performance for New 

Residential Wood Heaters); 

• 40 CFR part 60, subpart QQQQ 

(Standards of Performance for New 

Residential Hydronic Heaters and 

Forced-Air Furnaces); 

• 40 CFR part 61, subpart B (National 

Emission Standards for Radon 

Emissions From Underground Uranium 

Mines); 

• 40 CFR part 61, subpart H (National 

Emission Standards for Emissions of 

Radionuclides Other Than Radon From 

Department of Energy Facilities); 

• 40 CFR part 61, subpart I (National 

Emission Standards for Radionuclide 

Emissions From Federal Facilities Other 

Than Nuclear Regulatory Commission 

Licensees and Not Covered by Subpart 

H); 

• 40 CFR part 61, subpart K (National 

Emission Standards for Radionuclide 

Emissions From Elemental Phosphorus 

Plants); 

• 40 CFR part 61, subpart Q (National 

Emission Standards for Radon 

Emissions From Department of Energy 

facilities); 

• 40 CFR part 61, subpart R (National 

Emission Standards for Radon 

Emissions From Phosphogypsum 

Stacks); 

• 40 CFR part 61, subpart T (National 

Emission Standards for Radon 

Emissions From the Disposal of 

Uranium Mill Tailings); 

• 40 CFR part 61, subpart W (National 

Emission Standards for Radon 

Emissions From Operating Mill 

Tailings); and 

• 40 CFR part 63, subpart J (National 

Emission Standards for Polyvinyl 

Chloride and Copolymers Production). 

In addition, the EPA regulations 

provide that we cannot delegate to a 

State any of the Category II authorities 

set forth in 40 CFR 63.91(g)(2). These 

include the following provisions: 

§ 63.6(g), Approval of Alternative NonOpacity Standards; § 63.6(h)(9), 

Approval of Alternative Opacity 

Standards; § 63.7(e)(2)(ii) and (f), 

Approval of Major Alternatives to Test 

Methods; § 63.8(f), Approval of Major 

Alternatives to Monitoring; and 

§ 63.10(f), Approval of Major 

Alternatives to Recordkeeping and 

Reporting. Also, some Part 61 and Part 

63 standards have certain provisions 

that cannot be delegated to the States. 

Furthermore, no authorities are 

delegated that require rulemaking in the 

Federal Register to implement, or where 

Federal overview is the only way to 

ensure national consistency in the 

application of the standards or 

requirements of CAA section 112. 

Finally, this action does not delegate 

any authority under section 112(r), the 

accidental release program. 

All inquiries and requests concerning 

implementation and enforcement of the 

excluded standards in the State of New 

Mexico should be directed to the EPA 

Region 6 Office. 

In addition, this delegation to NMED 

to implement and enforce certain NSPS 

and NESHAP authorities does not 

extend to sources or activities located in 

Indian country, as defined in 18 U.S.C. 

1151. Under this definition, the EPA 

treats as reservations, trust lands validly 

set aside for the use of a Tribe even if 

the trust lands have not been formally 

designated as a reservation. Consistent 

with previous Federal program 

approvals or delegations, the EPA will 

continue to implement the NSPS and 

NESHAP in Indian country because 

NMED has not submitted information to 

demonstrate authority over sources and 

activities located within the exterior 

boundaries of Indian reservations and 

other areas in Indian country. 

IX. How will statutory and regulatory 

interpretations be made? 

In approving the NSPS delegation, 

NMED will obtain concurrence from the 

EPA on any matter involving the 

interpretation of section 111 of the CAA 

or 40 CFR part 60 to the extent that 

implementation or enforcement of these 

provisions have not been covered by 

prior EPA determinations or guidance. 

See 51 FR 20649 (June 6, 1986). 

In approving the NESHAP delegation, 

NMED will obtain concurrence from the 

EPA on any matter involving the 

interpretation of section 112 of the CAA 

or 40 CFR parts 61 and 63 to the extent 

that implementation or enforcement of 

these provisions have not been covered 

by prior EPA determinations or 

guidance. 

X. What authority does the EPA have? 

We retain the right, as provided by 

CAA section 111(c)(2), to enforce any 

applicable emission standard or 

requirement under section 111. 

We retain the right, as provided by 

CAA section 112(l)(7) and 40 CFR 

63.90(d)(2), to enforce any applicable 

emission standard or requirement under 

section 112. In addition, the EPA may 

enforce any federally approved State 

rule, requirement, or program under 40 

CFR 63.90(e) and 63.91(c)(1)(i). The EPA 

also has the authority to make decisions 

under the General Provisions (subpart 

A) of parts 61 and 63. We are delegating 

to NMED some of these authorities, and 

retaining others, as explained in 

sections V and VI above. In addition, the 

EPA may review and disapprove State 

determinations and subsequently 

require corrections. See 40 CFR 

63.91(g)(1)(ii). EPA also has the 

authority to review NMED’s 

implementation and enforcement of 

approved rules or programs and to 

withdraw approval if we find 

inadequate implementation or 

enforcement. See 40 CFR 63.96. 

Furthermore, we retain any authority 

in an individual emission standard that 

may not be delegated according to 

provisions of the standard. Also, listed 

in footnote 2 of the part 63 delegation 

table at the end of this rule are the 

authorities that cannot be delegated to 

any State or local agency which we 

therefore retain. 

Finally, we retain the authorities 

stated in the original delegation 

agreement. See 51 FR 20648–20650 

(June 6, 1986). 

XI. What information must NMED 

provide to the EPA? 

NMED must provide any additional 

compliance related information to EPA, 

Region 6, Office of Enforcement and 

Compliance Assurance, within 45 days 

of a request under 40 CFR 63.96(a). In 

receiving delegation for specific General 

Provisions authorities, NMED must 

submit to EPA Region 6, on a semiannual basis, copies of determinations 

issued under these authorities. See 40 

CFR 63.91(g)(1)(ii). For 40 CFR part 63 

standards, these determinations include: 

Section 63.1, Applicability 

Determinations; Section 63.6(e), 

Operation and Maintenance 

Requirements—Responsibility for 

Determining Compliance; Section

2This waiver only extends to the submission of 

copies of notifications and reports; EPA does not 

waive the requirements in delegated standards that 

require notifications and reports be submitted to an 

electronic database (e.g., 40 CFR part 63, subpart 

HHHHHHH). 

63.6(f), Compliance with Non-Opacity 

Standards—Responsibility for

or Other Factors; Sections 63.7(e)(2)(iv), 

(h)(2), and (h)(3), Waiver of Performance 

Testing; Sections 63.8(c)(1) and (e)(1), 

Approval of Site-Specific Performance 

Evaluation (Monitoring) Test Plans; 

Section 63.8(f), Approval of Minor 

Alternatives to Monitoring; Section 

63.8(f), Approval of Intermediate 

Alternatives to Monitoring; Section 63.9 

and 63.10, Approval of Adjustments to 

Time Periods for Submitting Reports; 

Section 63.10(f), Approval of Minor 

Alternatives to Recordkeeping and 

Reporting; and Section 63.7(a)(4), 

Extension of Performance Test Deadline. 

XII. What is the EPA’s oversight role? 

The EPA oversees NMED’s decisions 

to ensure the delegated authorities are 

being adequately implemented and 

enforced. We will integrate oversight of 

the delegated authorities into the 

existing mechanisms and resources for 

oversight currently in place. If, during 

oversight, we determine that NMED 

made decisions that decreased the 

stringency of the delegated standards, 

then NMED shall be required to take 

corrective actions and the source(s) 

affected by the decisions will be 

notified. See 40 CFR 63.91(g)(1)(ii) and 

63.91(b). Our oversight authorities allow 

us to initiate withdrawal of the program 

delegation if the corrective actions taken 

are insufficient. 

XIII. Should sources submit notices to 

the EPA or NMED? 

Sources located outside the 

boundaries of Bernalillo County and 

outside of Indian country should submit 

all information required pursuant to the 

delegated authorities in the Federal 

NSPS and NESHAP (40 CFR parts 60, 61 

and 63) directly to the NMED at the 

following address: New Mexico 

Environment Department, P.O. Box 

5469, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87502– 

5469. The NMED is the primary point of 

contact with respect to delegated NSPS 

and NESHAP authorities. Sources do 

not need to send a copy to the EPA. The 

EPA Region 6 waives the requirement 

that notifications and reports for 

delegated authorities be submitted to 

the EPA in addition to NMED in 

accordance with 40 CFR 63.9(a)(4)(ii) 

and 63.10(a)(4)(ii).2 For those 

authorities not delegated, sources must 

continue to submit all appropriate 

information to the EPA. 

XIV. How will unchanged authorities 

be delegated to NMED in the future? 

In the future, NMED will only need to 

send a letter of request to update their 

delegation to EPA, Region 6, for those 

NSPS which they have adopted by 

reference. The EPA will amend the 

relevant portions of the Code of Federal 

Regulations showing which NSPS 

standards have been delegated to 

NMED. Also, in the future, NMED will 

only need to send a letter of request for 

approval to EPA, Region 6, for those 

NESHAP regulations that NMED has 

adopted by reference. The letter must 

reference the previous up-front approval 

demonstration and reaffirm that it still 

meets the up-front approval criteria. We 

will respond in writing to the request 

stating that the request for delegation is 

either granted or denied. A Federal 

Register action will be published to 

inform the public and affected sources 

of the delegation, indicate where source 

notifications and reports should be sent, 

and to amend the relevant portions of 

the Code of Federal Regulations 

showing which NESHAP standards have 

been delegated to NMED. 

XV. Final Action 

We are approving the request by the 

NMED for the updated delegation of 

certain NSPS to NMED, and taking final 

action to approve the delegation of 

certain NESHAP to NMED, for all 

sources (both Title V and non-Title V 

sources). These updated regulations 

apply to certain NSPS promulgated by 

the EPA at 40 CFR part 60, as amended 

between September 24, 2013 and 

January 15, 2017; certain NESHAP 

promulgated by the EPA at 40 CFR part 

61, as amended between January 1, 2011 

and January 15, 2017; and other 

NESHAP promulgated by the EPA at 40 

CFR part 63, as amended between 

August 30, 2013 and January 15, 2017, 

as adopted by the NMED (See the 

amendatory language at the end of this 

document for the specific standards 

delegated). The delegation of authority 

under this action does not apply to 

sources located in Bernalillo County, 

New Mexico, or to sources located in 

areas defined as Indian Country. 

XVI. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 

51735, October 4, 1993), this action is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ and 

therefore is not subject to review by the 

Office of Management and Budget. For 

this reason, this action is also not 

subject to Executive Order 13211, 

‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May 

22, 2001). This action is not an 

Executive Order 13771 regulatory action 

because this action is not significant 

under Executive Order 12866. This 

action merely approves state law as 

meeting Federal requirements and 

imposes no additional requirements 

beyond those imposed by state law. 

Accordingly, the Administrator certifies 

that this rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 

et seq.). Because this rule approves preexisting requirements under state law 

and does not impose any additional 

enforceable duty beyond that required 

by state law, it 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). The 

EPA believes that this action does not 

have disproportionately high and 

adverse human health or environmental 

effects on minority populations, lowincome populations and/or indigenous 

peoples, as specified in Executive Order 

12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

The delegation is not approved to 

apply on any Indian reservation land or 

in any other area where the 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 as specified by 

Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000), nor will it impose 

substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law. 

This action also does not have 

Federalism implications because it does 

not have substantial direct effects on the 

States, on the relationship between the 

national government and the States, or 

on the distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government, as specified in 

Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, 

August 10, 1999). This action merely 

approves a state request to receive 

delegation of certain Federal standards, 

and does not alter the relationship or 

the distribution of power and 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 177 / Wednesday, September 12, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 46111 

responsibilities established in the Clean 

Air Act. This rule also is not subject to 

Executive Order 13045 ‘‘Protection of 

Children from Environmental Health 

Risks and Safety Risks’’ (62 FR 19885, 

April 23, 1997), because it is not 

economically significant. 

In reviewing delegation submissions, 

EPA’s role is to approve submissions, 

provided that they meet the criteria of 

the Clean Air Act. This action is not 

subject to the 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 CAA. This rule 

does not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). 

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 rule 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 CAA, 

petitions for judicial review of this 

action must be filed in the United States 

Court of Appeals for the appropriate 

circuit by November 13, 2018. Filing a 

petition for reconsideration by the 

Administrator of this final rule does not 

affect the finality of this rule 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)).

Register through January 15, 2017. 3Program delegated to Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Air Quality Control Board (ABCAQCB) for standards promulgated by the EPA, as

amended in the Federal Register through September 13, 2013. 4The NMED was previously delegated this subpart on February 9, 2004 (68 FR 69036). The ABCAQCB has adopted the subpart unchanged

and applied for delegation of the standard. The subpart was vacated and remanded to the EPA by the United States Court of Appeals for the

Metschnikowia Fructicola Strain 

NRRLY–27328; Exemption From the 

Requirement of a Tolerance 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance for residues of Metschnikowia 

fructicola strain NRRL Y–27328 in or on 

the stone fruit group (group 12–12); the 

small fruit vine climbing subgroup, 

except fuzzy kiwifruit (subgroup 13– 

07F); and the low growing berry 

subgroup (subgroup 13–07G) when used 

in accordance with label directions and 

good agricultural practices. Interregional 

Research Project Number 4 (IR–4) 

submitted a petition to EPA under the 

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 

(FFDCA), requesting an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance. This 

regulation eliminates the need to 

establish a maximum permissible level 

for residues of Metschnikowia fructicola 

strain NRRL Y–27328 under FFDCA. 

DATES: This regulation is effective 

September 12, 2018. Objections and 

requests for hearings must be received 

on or before November 13, 2018, and 

must be filed in accordance with the 

instructions provided in 40 CFR part 

178 (see also Unit I.C. of the
