New Source Performance Standards 

and National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants; Delegation 

of Authority to New Mexico 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The New Mexico 

Environment Department (NMED) as 

submitted updated regulations for 

receiving delegation of the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

authority for implementation and 

enforcement of New Source 

Performance Standards (NSPS) and 

National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for 

all sources (both part 70 and non-part 70 

sources). The delegation of authority 

under this action does not apply to 

sources located in Bernalillo County, 

New Mexico or sources located in 

Indian Country. EPA is providing notice 

that it is updating the delegation of 

certain NSPS to NMED and taking direct 

final action to approve the delegation of 

certain NESHAPs to NMED. 

DATES: Written comments on this 

proposed rule must be received on or 

before March 4, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to 

Mr. Rick Barrett, Air Permits Section 

(6PD–R), 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.

Rick Barrett, (214) 665–7227; email:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

final rules section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is approving NMED’s 

request for delegation of authority to 

implement and enforce certain NSPS 

and NESHAP for all sources (both part 

70 and non-part 70 sources). NMED has 

adopted certain NSPS and NESHAP by 

reference into New Mexico’s state 

regulations. In addition, EPA is waiving 

its notification requirements so sources 

will only need to send notifications and 

reports to NMED. 

The EPA is taking direct final action 

without prior proposal because EPA 

views this as a noncontroversial action 

and anticipates no adverse comments. A 

detailed rationale for this approval is set 

forth in the preamble to the direct final 

rule. If no adverse comments are 

received in response to this action, no 

further activity is contemplated. If EPA 

receives 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final rule will be withdrawn, and all 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. EPA will 

not institute a second comment period. 

Any parties interested in commenting 

must do so at this time. If EPA receives 

adverse comment on an amendment, 

paragraph, or section of the rule and if 

that provision may be severed from the 

remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt 

as final those provisions of the rule that 

are not the subject of an adverse 

comment. 

For additional information, see the 

direct final rule which is located in the 

Rules section of this Federal Register.
