ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 63

[EPA-R06-OAR-2007-1205; FRL 9923-04-Region 6]


National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants; 
Delegation of Authority to Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Air Quality 
Control Board

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Air Quality Control Board 
(ABCAQCB) 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 applies only to sources located in 
Bernalillo County, New Mexico, and does not extend to sources located 
in Indian Country. EPA is providing notice that it is updating the 
delegation of certain NSPS to ABCAQCB, and is taking direct final 
action to approve the delegation of certain NESHAPs to ABCAQCB.

DATES: Written comments on this proposed rule must be received on or 
before March 23, 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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Rick Barrett, (214) 665-7227; 
email: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#31535043435445451f43585259504355715441501f565e47"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="b7d5d6c5c5d2c3c399c5ded4dfd6c5d3f7d2c7d699d0d8c1">[email protected]</span></a>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving ABCAQCB'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). ABCAQCB has adopted 
certain NSPS and NESHAP by reference into ABCAQCB's regulations. In 
addition, EPA is waiving its notification requirements so sources will 
only need to send notifications and reports to ABCAQCB.
    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 relevant adverse 
comments are received in response to this action, no further activity 
is contemplated. If 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. EPA 
will not institute a second comment period. Any parties interested in 
commenting must do so at this time. If EPA receives relevant 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.

    Dated: January 28, 2015.
Samuel Coleman,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region 6.
