Dear Mr. Curry, RYAN FLYNN
Cabinet Secretary-Designate

BUTCH TONGATE Deputy Secretary

On behalf of the New Mexico Environment Department, I am pleased to submit to the Environmental

Protection Agency the enclosed New Mexico State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision. This SIP

revision consists of a demonstration that New Mexico's existing SIP satisfies the "Infrastructure SIP" requirements for the revised 2008 National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone. The

submittal for this SIP revision is attached, which includes the Ozone Infrastructure Certification, public notices, and affidavit of publication. The public notice was conducted in accordance with 40

CFR §51.102. No public comments or hearing requests were received regarding this matter during

the required 30-day public comment period. Included with the attached hard copy of the SIP revision

is an electronic copy of the submittal provided on disk which I certify to be an exact duplicate of the

hard copy.

This SIP revision is being submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency to fulfill all of New

Mexico's requirements under 78 FR 2882 and Section IIO(a)(2) of the Clean Air Act for the revised

2008 ozone NAAQS. The Clean Air Act requires all states to submit plans to provide for the implementation, maintenance and enforcement of a new or revised NAAQS within 3 years of promulgation.

Sincerely,

### New Mexico’s Infrastruc ture Certification for The 2008 Ozone NAAQS Revision

Executive Summary

A State Implementation Plan (SIP) identifies how th e state will attain and maintain the primary and secondary National Ambient Air Quality Standa rds (NAAQS). The SIP contains regulations, source-specific requirements, non-re gulatory items such as plans and inventories, and in some cases additional requirements promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The initial SIPs for states were approved by EPA on May 31, 1972. A state may revise its SIP with EPA approval as necessary. The federally enforceable SI P for New Mexico is compiled in 40 CFR Part 52 Subpart GG.

The enclosed SIP certification matrix outlines the requirements of section 110(a)(2)(A) through (M) of the federal Clean Air Act (CAA) and addresses how New Mexico will implement, maintain and enforce the NAAQS for ozone, which was revi sed in March, 2008. 73 FR 16,436 (Mar. 27, 2008).

Legislative authority for New Mexico’s air quality program is codified in Chapter 74 (Environmental Improvement) of the New Mexico Statutes, which gives th e State Environmental Improvement Board and the Environment Department the authority to implement the CAA in New
Mexico.

The regulatory authority to implement CAA programs is contained in the New Mexico Administrative Code (NMAC), specifically Chapter 2 of Title 20 for Air Quality. These regulations are part of the approved New Mexico SIP and cited in 40 CFR 52.1620(c) unless otherwise stated.

Those requirements of CAA § 110(a)(2) that are in the approved SIP or recently submitted SIP
revisions relate to enforceable emission limits and schedules for compliance; monitoring, source testing and emissions reporting; recordkeeping an d reporting requirements; and permit fees. Some requirements, such as intergovernmental consultation, air quality modeling, and compliance with Part D of Title I of the CAA, are fulfilled duri ng the development and submission to EPA as a SIP revision of attainment plans.

### 1 

### State of New Mexico 110(a)(2) SIP Requirements for Ozone

§ 110(a)(2)(A) Requirement Summary Include enforceable emission limitations and other control measures, means, or techniques (including ec onomic incentives such as fees, marketable permits, and auctions or emissions rights), as well as schedules and timetable for compliance.

New Mexico’s Requirements The New Mexico Environmental Improvement Act, found in Chapter 74, Article 1 of the New Mexico Statutes Annotated 1978 (NMSA), created the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) and the New Mexico Environmental Im provement Board (EIB). The New Mexico Air Quality Control Act codified at NMSA 1978, § 74–2 et seq., delegates authority to the EIB to adopt, promulgate, publish, amend and repeal regulations consistent with the Air Quality Control Act to attain and maintain NAAQS and prevent or abate air pollution. The Air Quality Control Act also designates th e NMED as the State’s air pollution control agency and the Environmental Improvement Act provides NMED with enforcement authority. See NMSA 1978, §§ 74-2-2.C, 74-2-5.1, 74-2-5.5.2. Chapter 2 of Title 20 of the New Mexico Administrative Code (NMAC) establishes NMED as the State’s air pollution control agency and its enforcement authority, referencing the NMSA 1978 (44 FR 21019, April 9, 1979; revised 49 FR 44101, November 2, 1984; recodification ap proved in 62 FR 50518, September 26, 1997).

The EIB has promulgated rules to limit and c ontrol emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC s), the precursors of ozone. These rules include emission limits, control measures, permits, fees, and compliance schedules and are found in 20.2 NMAC parts 3, 5, 7–8, 10–22, 30–34, 40–41, 72–75, and 99.

§ 110(a)(2)(B) Provide for establishment and operati on of appropriate devices, methods, systems, and procedures necessary to monitor, compile, and analyze data on ambient air quality, and upon request, make such data available to the
Administrator.

New Mexico’s Requirements New Mexico maintains and operates a multi-station ozone network to measure ambient levels. All monitoring data is measured using EPA approve d methods as either Reference or Equivalent monitors. All monitors are subjected to the quality assurance requirements of 40 CFR Part 58, Appendix A, and are located at si tes that have met the minimum siting requirements of Part 58, Appendix E. All data is submitted to EPA’s Ai r Quality System (AQS) system in accordance with the schedule prescribed by 40 CFR Part 58.

New Mexico’s Statewide Air Quality Surveill ance Network was approved by EPA on August 6, 1981 (46 FR 40005), and consists of stations that measure ambient concen trations of the six criteria pollutants, including ozone. The ai r quality surveillance network undergoes annual review by EPA. On July 3, 2012, NMED subm itted its 2012 Annual Air Monitoring Network Plan (AAMNP) that included the plans for the ozone NAAQS. EPA approved New Mexico’s 2012 AAMNP on December 19, 2012. The NMED Web site provides the ozone monitor locations, and current and historical data.

### 2 The Department is authorized to conduct mon itoring by the Air Quality Control Act at NMSA 1978, §§ 74-2-5.1 (A) (authority to make investiga tions and studies) and 74-2-5.2 (A) (authority to take all actions necessary to secure the benefits of federal legislation).

§ 110(a)(2)(C) Include a program to provide for en forcement of the measures in § 110(a)(2)(A), and regulati on of the modification and construction of any stationary source within the areas co vered by the plan as necessary to assure that NAAQS are achieved, in cluding a permit program as required in parts C and D of Title I of the CAA (i.e., the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment New Source Review (NSR) permit programs).

New Mexico’s Requirements The Air Quality Control Act authorizes NMED to enforce the provisions of the Air Quality Control Act, regulations, and permit conditions, through administrative compliance orders or commencement of civil actions. See NMSA 1978, § 74-2-12. In addition, the Air Quality Control Act designates NMED as the air pollution control agency for the state, see NMSA 1978, § 74-2-2, and the Environmental Improvement Ac t provides the NMED with authority to enforce the state’s environmental quality rule s. NMSA 1978, § 74-1-6.F. The EIB established rules governing emissions of the criteria polluta nts and their precursors throughout the State and these rules are in the federally enforceable SI P. The rules in 20.2 NMAC parts 3, 5, 7–8, 10– 22, 30–34, 40–41, 72–75, and 98–99 include allowable emission rates, compliance, control plan requirements, actual and allowable emissi ons, monitoring and testing requirements, recordkeeping and reporting requirements, and control schedules. These rules clarify the boundaries beyond which regulated entities in Ne w Mexico can expect enforcement action.

Preconstruction PSD Permitting of Major Sources: New Mexico’s PSD program was conditionally approved into the state’s SIP on February 27, 1987 (52 FR 5964) and fully approved on August 15, 2011 (76 FR 41698). In a ddition, revisions to New Mexico’s PSD program were approved into the SIP on August 21, 1990 (55 FR 34013), May 2, 1991 (56 FR 20137), October 15, 1996 (61 FR 53639), Marc h 10, 2003 (68 FR 11316), December 24, 2003 (68 FR 74483), September 5, 2007 (72 FR 50879), June 11, 2009 (75 FR 72688), November 26, 2010 (75 FR 72688), July 20, 2011 (76 FR 43149) , June 13, 2012 (77 FR 35273), January 22, 2013, (78 FR 4339), and March 11, 2013 (78 FR 15296). New Mexico’s Major source PSD permitting requirements are found at 20.2.74 NMAC.

Green House Gases (GHG) PSD Permitting: New Me xico has the authority to issue permits under the SIP-approved PSD program to sour ces of GHG emissions (75 FR 82536, December 30, 2010). On November 10, 2010, New Mexico adopted revisions to the State’s PSD rules to implement the GHG thresholds established in EPA’s GHG Tailoring Rule and submitted the corresponding SIP revision to EPA on December 1, 2010. On April 14, 2011, EPA proposed approval of New Mexico’s GHG rules submitted on December 1, 2010 (76 FR 20907). On August 19, 2011, EPA approved New Mexico’s GHG rules submitted on December 1, 2010 (see 76 FR 43149 dated July 20, 2011).

Minor Source Permitting: EPA has determined that New Mexico’s Minor New Source Review (NSR) program adopted pursuant to section 110(a)(2)(C) of the C AA regulates emissions of all

### 3 regulated air contaminants for which th ere is a NAAQS (20.2.72.200 NMAC) (77 FR 62195). New Mexico’s Minor NSR permitting requirements are found at 20.2.72 NMAC and were approved into the SIP on May 14, 1973 (38 FR 12702). The most recent revisions to New Mexico’s Minor NSR program were approved in to the SIP on March 11, 2013 (78 FR 15296).

§ 110(a)(2)(D) (i) Contain adequate provisions prohibi ting any source or other type of emissions activity from emitting any ai r pollutant in amounts which will: (I) Contribute significantly to nona ttainment in, or interfere with maintenance by, any other State with respect to any such national primary or secondary ambient air quality standard. (II) Interfere with measures required to be included in the applicable implementation plan for any other State under part C to prevent significant deterioration of air quality or to protect visibility. (ii) Insure compliance with the applicable requirements CAA sections § 126 and 115 (interstate and intern ational pollution abatement).

New Mexico’s Requirements Based on EPA guidance from the November 19, 2012 EPA Gina McCarthy Memo, “Next Steps for Pending Redesignation Request s and State Implementation Plan Actions Affected by the Recent Court Decision Vacating the 2011 Cross-State Air Pollution Rule”, the requirements of § 110 (a)(2)(D)(i)(I) are not being addressed in this infrastructure SIP submittal.

With respect to the prevention of significant de terioration element of § 110 (a)(2)(D)(i)(II), as stated above in section 110(a)(2 )(C) of this Infrastructure SI P, the New Mexico PSD program has been approved by EPA into the SIP. New Mexico’s PSD program contains the necessary provisions to implement the ozone standard.

With respect to the visibility element of § 110 (a )(2)(D)(i)(II), several pr ior SIP submissions are relevant. On September 17, 2007 New Mexico submitted a SIP to address the interstate transport provisions of CAA 110(a)(2)(D )(i) for the 1997 8-hour ozone and PM 2.5 

### NAAQS. In this submission, the state indicated that it intended to meet the requirements of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) with re spect to visibility by submissi on of a Regional Haze SIP revision, which was then due on December 17, 2007. EPA had previously approved New Mexico’s Visibility Protection Plan and a Long-Term Stra tegy for Visibility Protection as SIP revisions on January 27, 2006 (71 FR 4490). New Mexico had also submitted a Regional Haze SIP to EPA on December 1, 2003, and a revised Regional Haze SIP on July 5, 2011.

On August 22, 2011, EPA finalized disapproval of the visibility portion of the September 2007 SIP submission. 76 FR 52,388. (EPA approved the 2007 SIP with respect to the PSD element of § 110 (a)(2)(D)(i)(II), along with the “interfere with maintenance” element of § 110 (a)(2)(D)(i)(I), on November 26, 2010 (75 FR 72,688), and approved the 2007 SIP with respect to the “significant contribution to non-attain ment” element of § 110 (a )(2)(D)(i)(I) on June 11, 2010 (75 FR 33,174)). In the August 22, 2011 final rule, EPA promulgated a Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) imposing limits for NOx on the San Juan Generating Station (SJGS).
EPA intended these limits to ensure that emissi ons from New Mexico so urces do not interfere with other states’ measures to protect visibi lity in accordance with section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II)

### 4 for the 1997 8-hour ozone and 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS, and also to address the requirements under the Regional Haze program for Best Availabl e Retrofit Technology (BART). EPA based the timing the FIP issuance in part on the existe nce of a consent decree deadline for action under Section 110(a)(2)(D). 76 FR at 52,390.

On November 27, 2012 (77 FR 70693), EPA a pproved New Mexico’s 2003 and 2011 Regional Haze SIP submittals, but expressly declined to take action on the portion of the 2011 SIP making a nitrogen oxides (NOx) BART determina tion for SJGS, which consisted of selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) with an emission rate of 0.23 lbs/mmbtu.

In its August 22, 2011 final rule, EPA determined that a NOx emission limit from the SJGS of no greater than 0.27 – 0.28 lb/mmBtu was necessary in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II), and that no othe r additional reductions in New Mexico were required under that section. 76 FR at 52,424. Although New Mexico’s July 5, 2011 NOx
BART determination of 0.23 lb/mmB tu represented a lower emissi on rate than EPA determined to be necessary to satisfy S ection 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II), EPA promulgated its own NOx BART determination of 0.05 lb/mmBtu using se lective catalytic re duction (SCR).

New Mexico has challenged EPA’s NOx BART FIP for the SJGS, and the case remains pending in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Te nth Circuit. New Mexico, EPA, and Public Service Company of New Mexico (the operato r of the SJGS) have reached a tentative settlement agreement which would require the shutdown of two of the four SJGS units and
installation of SNCR on the re maining two, with an emission rate of no greater than 0.23
lb/mmBtu. New Mexico is curr ently developing a SIP revision pursuant to the terms of the agreement for submission to the EPA.

The requirement for New Mexico under Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) is pres ently satisfied by the FIP; however, the FIP may be replaced by the re vised SIP if EPA finds it meets the applicable Clean Air Act requirements. Therefore, regardless of which plan is ultimately implemented (the SIP, the FIP, or the revised SIP), the NOx emission rate from San Juan will be considerably less than 0.27 – 0.28 lb/mmBtu, and will satisfy the visibility element of § 110(a)(2)(D )(i)(II).

Finally, with respect to § 110(a )(2)(D)(ii), as stated above in Section 110(a)(2)(C) of the Infrastructure SIP, New Mexico has a SIP-approved PSD progr am which includes provisions that satisfy the requirements of section 126 of the CAA. There are no final findings under section 115 of the CAA against New Mexico with re spect to any air pollutant . If there are one or more final findings under section 115 of the CAA, NMED will consult with EPA Region VI.

§ 110(a)(2)(E)(i) Provide: (i) necessary assurances that the stat e (or, except where the administrator deems inappropriate, the general purpose local government or governments, or a regional agency designated by the state or general purpose local governments for such purpose) will have adequate personnel, funding, and authority under st ate (and, as appropriate, local) law to carry out such implementatio n plan (and is not prohibited by any provision of federal or state law from carrying out such implementation plan or portion thereof).

### 5 New Mexico’s Requirements The resources to carry out the state implement ation plan are provided through State General Funds, Permit Fees, and the CAA §§ 103 and 105 gr ant process. The Air Quality Control Act designates the NMED as the State air pollution control agency for all purposes under federal legislation relating to air pollution and provides the NMED with the power to accept, receive and administer grants or other funds or gifts from public and private agencies, including the federal government, or from any person (NMSA 1978, § 74–2–5.1(F)).

New Mexico has adequate personnel to implement the SIP with respect to ozone requirements. The Environmental Improvement Act provides th at the secretary of the NMED shall employ and fix the compensation of those persons n ecessary to discharge his duties (NMSA 1978, § 9– 7A– 6(B)). NMED is also authorized to receive State appropri ations to implement environmental programs (NMSA 1978, § 9–7A). Should EPA determine that New Mexico lacks adequate personnel to carry out the SIP, EPA may issue a finding with respect to that deficiency, which New Mexico would have a legal obligation to correct.

New Mexico does not anticipate the need for add itional resources to implement the plan for the ozone NAAQS beyond those which have been utilized for the preparation of the plan and plan revisions submitted to EPA and other current programmatic demands.

§ 110(a)(2)(E)(ii) (ii) requirements that the state comp ly with the requirements respecting state boards under section 128, and

New Mexico’s Requirements The New Mexico Environmental Improvement Act requires that at least a majority of the membership of the EIB shall be individuals who represent the public inte rest and do not derive any significant portion of their in come from persons subject to or who appear before the board
on issues related to the federal Clean Air Ac t or the Air Quality Control Act (NMSA 1978, § 74-1-4).

On April 20, 1990, NMED submitted a SIP revision to EPA for Board composition and conflict of interest disclosure. EPA approved th e SIP revision on June 1, 1999 (64 FR 29235).

§ 110(a)(2)(E) (iii) (iii) Necessary assurances that, wher e the state has relied on a local or regional government, agency, or instrumentality for the implementation of any plan provision, the state has re sponsibility for ensuring adequate implementation of such plan provision.

New Mexico’s Requirements The Air Quality Control Act de legates authority to the EIB to adopt, promulgate, publish, amend and repeal regulations cons istent with the Air Quality Cont rol Act to attain and maintain national ambient air quality standards and pr event or abate air pollution (NMSA 1978, § 74–2– 5(B)(1)). The Environmental Improvement Act pr ovides NMED with the power “to enforce the rules, regulations and orders promulgate d by the board” (NMSA 1978, § 74– 1–6(F)). The Air Quality Control Act also gives NMED the duty to develop and present to the EIB a plan for the regulation, control, prevention or abatement of air pollution and gives th e EIB the authority to adopt such a plan. (NMSA 1978, § 74–2–5.1( H) and NMSA 1978, § 74–2– 5(B)(2)).

### 6 Pursuant to NMSA 1978, § 74- 2-4, local authority has been established for AlbuquerqueBernalillo County, New Mexico, through the crea tion of the Albuquerque-B ernalillo County Air Quality Control Board and local administrati on by the City of Albuquerque Department of Environmental Health. Albuquerque-Bernalillo County develops and submits its own SIP revisions, and is not covered by this infrastructure SIP. Under NMSA 1978, § 74-2-4.D, the NMED and the EIB retain jurisd iction and control for administra tion of the Air Quality Control Act with respect to any failure to act by a local authority.

§110(a)(2)(F) Require, as may be prescrib ed by the Administrator: (i) the installation, maintenance, and replacement of equipment, and the implementation of other necessary steps by owners or operators of stationary sources to monitor em issions from such sources, (ii) periodic reports on the na ture and amounts of emissions and emissions-related data from such sources, and (iii) correlation of such reports by the state agency with any emission limitations or standards established pu rsuant to this Act, which reports
shall be available at reasonable times for public inspection;

New Mexico’s Requirements New Mexico’s regulations at 20.2 NM AC parts 5, 7–8, 10–20, 30–34, 40–41, and 72–74 require source monitoring for compliance, recordkeepin g and reporting, and provide for enforcement with respect to all the NAAQS and their precursors. These sour ce monitoring program requirements generate data for ozone.

Under the New Mexico’s regulations at 20.2.NMAC parts 7-8, 65, 70, 72-74, 79, 81 and 88 NMED is required to analyze the emissions data from point, area, mobile, and biogenic sources. The NMED uses this data to track progress towards maintaining the NAAQS, develop control and maintenance strategies, id entify sources and general em ission levels, and determine compliance with New Mexico and EPA requirements.

The NMED is current with their submittals to th e NEI database; the 2012 data for larger sources
was submitted to EPA in 2013.

§110(a)(2)(G) Provide for authority comparable to that in section 303 and adequate contingency plans to implement such authority.

New Mexico’s Requirements The Air Quality Control Act provides NMED with authority to address environmental emergencies, and NMED has contingency plans to implement emergency episode provisions in
the SIP.

Upon a finding that any owner/operator is unreas onably affecting the public health, safety or welfare, or the health of animal or plant life , or property, the New Mexi co Air Quality Control Act authorizes NMED to, after a reasonable attempt to give notice, declare a state of emergency and issue without hearing an emergency special order directing the owner/operator to cease such

### 7 pollution immediately (NMSA 1978, § 74-7-10).

New Mexico promulgated the “Air Pollution Ep isode Contingency Plan for New Mexico,” which includes contingency measures, and thes e provisions were approved into the SIP on August 21, 1990 (55 FR 34013).

The 2010–2012 ozone ambient air quality monitori ng data for New Mexico does not exceed 195 μg/m 3 

### . The ozone levels have cons istently remained below this level and, furthermore, the State has appropriate ge neral emergency powers to address oz one related episodes to protect the environment and public health.

§110(a)(2)(H) Provide for revision of such plan: (i) from time to time as may be nece ssary to take account of revisions of such national primary or secondary am bient air quality standard or the availability of improved or more e xpeditious methods of attaining such standard, and (ii) except as provided in paragraph (3)(C), whenever the Administrator
finds on the basis of information avai lable to the Administrator that the plan is substantially inadequate to attain the national ambient air quality standard which it implements, or to otherwise comply w ith any additional requirements established under this Act.

New Mexico’s Requirements New Mexico’s SIP is a compilation of regulations, plans, and submittals that act to improve and maintain air quality in accordance with nati onal standards. The Air Quality Control Act provides that the EIB shall adopt, promulgate, p ublish, amend, and repeal regulations consistent with the Air Quality Control Act to attain a nd maintain national ambient air quality standards and prevent or abate air pollution (NMSA 1978, § 74–2–5(B)(1)). In addition, the Air Quality Control Act requires NMED to advise, consult, contract with and cooperate with local authorities, other states, the fede ral government and other interest ed persons or groups in regard
to matters of common interest in the fiel d of air quality control (NMSA 1978, § 74–2–5.2(B)). New Mexico has the authority to revise its SIP from time to time as may be necessary to take into account revisions of primary or secondary N AAQS, or the availability of improved or more expeditious methods of attaining such standards. New Mexico al so has the authority under the above provisions to revise its SIP in the event the EPA, pursuant to the CAA, finds the SIP to be substantially inadequate to attain the NAAQS.

§110(a)(2)(I) In the case of a plan or plan revision for an area designated as a nonattainment area, meet the applicable requirements of part D (relating to nonattainment areas);

New Mexico’s Requirements §110 (a)(2)( I) is not being addressed in this infrastructure SIP submittal. According to EPA’s interpretation of the CAA, this element does not need to be addressed in the context of an infrastructure SIP submission. Moreover, New Mexico presently does not contain any
nonattainment areas for ozone.



### §110(a)(2)(J) Meet the applicable requirements of § 121 (relating to consultation),

### 8 section 127 (relating to public notifi cation), and Part C (relating to prevention of significant deterioratio n of air quality and visibility protection);

New Mexico’s Requirements All SIP revisions undergo public notice and hear ing, which provides for comment by the public, including local polit ical subdivisions.

The Air Quality Control Act, as codified at NMSA 1978, § 74–2–6, provides that, “no regulations or emission control requirement shal l be adopted until after a public hearing by the environmental improvement board or the local boa rd” and provides that, “at the hearing, the environmental improvement board or the loca l board shall allow all interested persons reasonable opportunity to submit data, views, or arguments orally or in writing and to examine witnesses testifying at the hearing” (NMSA 1978, § 74–2– 6(B) and (D)) ). 

### In addition, the Air Quality Control Act provides that the NMED shall have the power and duty to advise, consult, contract with and cooperate with local authorities, other states, the federal government and other interested persons or groups in regard to matters of common intere st in the field of air quality control (NMSA 1978, § 74–2–5.2(B)).

New Mexico’s SIP-approved PSD rules mandate that the NMED shall provide for public participation and notification regarding permitting applications to any other state or local air pollution control agencies, local gov ernment officials of the city or county where the source will be located, and Federal Land Managers (FLM) w hose lands may be affected by emissions from the source or modification (20.2.74.400 NMAC). Ne w Mexico’s PSD rules also require NMED to consult with FLMs regarding permit applicati ons for sources impactin g Class I Federal areas (20.2.74.403 NMAC). New Mexico has committed in the SIP to consult c ontinually with the FLMs on the review and implementation of the visi bility program and to notify the FLM of any advance notification or early consultation with a major new or modifying source prior to the submission of the permit application.

New Mexico’s SIP-approved Transportation Co nformity rule requires that interagency consultation and opportunity for public involvemen t be provided before making transportation conformity determinations and before adopti ng applicable SIP revi sions on transportationrelated SIPs (20.2.99.116 and 20.2.99.124 NMAC).

New Mexico’s provisions regarding public notifi cation of instances or areas in which any primary NAAQS was exceeded were approved in to the SIP on August 24, 1983 (48 FR 38466). Air quality data from New Mexico’s monitoring network is published in real time on NMED’s website. The website also provide s information on the health eff ects of ozone and other criteria pollutants. Additionally, as part of the 105 grant process New Mexico is required to submit monitoring data to the Air Quality Sy stem (AQS) in a timely manner.

New Mexico’s PSD program was conditionally a pproved into the SIP on February 27, 1987 (52 FR 5964) and fully approved effective August 15, 2011 (76 FR 41698). New Mexico’s PSD program is in the SIP (52 FR 5964, 53 FR 44191, 55 FR 43013, 56 FR 20137, 61 FR 53639, 68 FR 11316, 68 FR 74483, 72 FR 50879, and 75 FR 72688). New Mexico’s minor source permitting requirements were approved at 38 FR 12702. For more information, refer above to Infrastructure SIP element 110(a)(2)(C).

### 9 EPA approved New Mexico’s Visibility Protec tion Plan and approved a Long-Term Strategy for Visibility Protection in to New Mexico’s SIP on January 27, 2006 (71 FR 4490). New Mexico submitted a Regional Haze SIP to EPA on December 1, 2003. On July 5, 2011, New Mexico submitted a revised Regional Haze (RH) SIP to EPA. EPA approved both submittals, except for the submitted nitrogen oxides (NOx ) Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) determination for the San Juan Generating Station, on November 27, 2012 (77 FR 70693). As described above under § 110(a)(2)(D), New Me xico and EPA have reached a tentative settlement in a dispute over competing BART determinations for San Juan, under which NMED
will submit a revised BART determination to th e EIB for possible approval and submission to

EPA.

§110(a)(2)(K) Provide for: (i) the performance of such air quality mode ling as the Administrator may prescribe for the purpose of predicting the effect on ambient air quality of any emissions of any air pollutant for which the Administrator
has established a national ambien t air quality standard, and (ii) the submission, upon request, of data related to such air quality modeling to the Administrator;

New Mexico’s Requirements The Air Quality Control Act authorizes NMED to “develop facts and make investigations and studies”; this provides NMED with necessary authority to develop air quality assessments (NMSA 1978, § 74– 2–5.2(B)). This section of the Air Quality Control Act also requires that a SIP provide for the submission of data relate d to such air quality modeling to the EPA upon request. The Air Quality Contro l Act authorizes NMED to cooperate with the federal government in regard to matters of common interest in the field of air qu ality control, thereby allowing it to make this submission to EPA.

New Mexico has developed Air Dispersion Modeli ng Guidelines that follow EPA guidelines for air dispersion modeling. The New Mexico Air Dispersion Modeling Guidelines also include internal policy language. The Air Quality Bur eau within NMED contai ns a modeling section with four qualified modelers, two with Ph.D’s.

The Air Quality Bureau routinely conducts air dispersion modeling for the purpose of determining the impact of air pollutant emissions in relation to the national ambient air quality
standards. New Mexico’s SI P-approved PSD rules provide NMED with the authority to conduct modeling to ensure permitted emissions do not exceed any national ambient air quality
standard.

New Mexico’s PSD regulations ensure that all ambient air quality modeling required by those regulations is performed in accordance with EPA Guidance. See 20.2.74.305 NMAC. Upon request, NMED will submit current and future data relating to modeling to EPA.

§110(a)(2)(L) Require the owner or oper ator of each major stationary source to pay to the permitting authority, as a condition of any permit required under this Act, a fee sufficient to cover

(i) the reasonable costs of re viewing and acting upon any application

### 10 for such a permit, and

(ii) if the owner or operator receives a permit for such source, the reasonable costs of implementing and enforcing the terms and conditions of any such permit (not including any court costs or other costs associated with any enforcement action), until such fee requirement is superseded with respect to such sources by th e Administrator's approval of a fee program under title V;

New Mexico’s Requirements The Air Quality Control Act provides the EIB wi th the legal authority for establishing an emission fee schedule and a construction permit fee schedule to recover the reasonable costs of acting on permit applications, implementi ng, and enforcing permits (NMSA 1978, § 74–2–7). New Mexico’s Permit Fee System was approved by EPA on November 24, 1997 (62 FR 50514). New Mexico’s Permit Fee System implemen ts a fee system for all preconstruction air permits issued by NMED. New Mexico’s regulati ons for construction permit fees are found at 20.2.75 NMAC. New Mexico’s Title V program and asso ciated fees legally are not part of the SIP, but were approved by EPA on November 26, 1996 (61 FR 60032) as part of the New Mexico Title V Program.

§ 110(a)(2)(M) Provide for consultation and participation by local political subdivisions affected by the plan.

New Mexico’s Requirements The Air Quality Control Act provides that, “no regulations or emission control requirement shall be adopted until after a public hearing by the environmental improvement board or the local board” and provides that, “at the hearing, the environmen tal improvement board or the local board shall allow all interested persons reasonable opportunity to submit data, views, or arguments orally or in writing and to examin e witnesses testifying at the hearing” (NMSA 1978, §§ 74–2–6(B) and (D)). The Act Quality Control Act also establishes NMED’s power and duty to advise; consult; contract with and cooperate with local author ities, other states, the federal government and other interested persons or groups in regard to matters of common interest in the field of air quality control (NMSA 1978, § 74–2–5.2(B)).

New Mexico’s SIP-approved regulations for PSD (20.2.74, 20.2.72 and 20.2.79 NMAC) and Transportation Conformity (20.2.99 NMAC) also pr ovide for public participation. For more information, refer above to Infras tructure SIP element 110(a)(2)(J).

### NEW MEXICO ENVIRONMENT DEPARTMENT Notice of Opportunity for Public Hearing and Comment New Mexico’s Proposed Infras tructure Certification for
the 2008 Ozone National Ambi ent Air Quality Standards

The New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) announces an opportunity to comment and/orrequest a public hearing on a proposed certification that New Mexico has an adequate, federallyapproved State Implementation Plan (SIP) that a ddresses all elements of a Clean Air Act (CAA) Section 110(a)(2) infrastructure plan, as applicable to the 2008 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). The purpose of the proposed certification is to confirm to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that the State of New Mexico has the required “infrastructure” in place under the current SIP to implement, maintain and enforce the ozone NAAQS. Section 110(a)(1) of the CAA requires states to submit certification letters or revised SIPs to the EPA Administrator within three (3) years following the promulgation of a new or revised NAAQS.

Legislative authority for New Mexico’s air quality program is codified in Chapter 74 (Environmental Improvement) of the New Mexico Statutes, which gives the New Mexico Environmental Improvement Board and the Environment Department the authority to implement the CAA in New Mexico. (Albuquerque/Bernalillo County is under the jurisdiction of a local board and agency.) The proposed certification was developed by NMED to comply with the requirements contained in Section 110 of the CAA and 40 CFR Part 51, Requirements for Preparation, Adoption, and Submittal of Implementation Plans. The proposed certification does not adopt or amend any regulations; therefore, it is not subject to the mandatory public hearing requirement of NMSA 1978 § 74-2-6. However, a hearing may be requested as described below.

The proposed certification, New Mexico’s Proposed Infrastructure Certification for the 2008 Ozone NAAQS Revision , is available for a 30-day public comment period. Submission of comments on the proposed certification may be written or oral. All comments must be received by August 14, 2013

. All public comments received during the comment period will be evaluated and responded to as appropriate by NMED prior to submission of the proposed certification to EPA. If a request for a public hearing is received during the 30-day pub lic comment period, a hearing date, time and location will be announced at a later date, in accordance with 20.1.1 NMAC – Rulemaking Procedures – Environmental Improvement Board, including an additional public comment period. For more information, contact Gail Cooke at 505-476-4319 or via email at gail.cooke@state.nm.us. Upon completion of the 30-day public comment period and, if requested, the hearing process, all documents included in the New Mexico ozone NAAQS certification will be submitted to EPA to be included in the New Mexico State Implementation Plan.

The proposed certification may be reviewed during regular business hours at the NMED Air Quality Bureau office, 525 Camino de los Marquez, Suite 1, Santa Fe, New Mexico. A full text of NMED's proposed certification is available on NMED’s web site at www.nmenv.state.nm.us, or by contacting Gail Cooke at 505-476-4319 or via email at gail.cooke@state.nm.us.

Written comments and/or a public hearing request regarding the proposed certification should be submitted via email to Gail Cooke at gail.cooke@state.nm.us or mailed to: New Mexico Environment Department, Air Quality Bureau 525 Camino de los Marquez, Suite 1Santa Fe, NM 87505-1816
