ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R06-OAR-2015-0850; FRL-9993-58-Region 6]

Air Plan Approval; New Mexico; Approval of Revised Statutes; 
Error Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Partial withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is withdrawing a 
portion of a direct final rule published on February 27, 2019 because 
relevant adverse comments were received. The rule pertained to EPA 
approval of revisions to New Mexico's State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
incorporating updates to SIP-approved New Mexico statutes, as well as 
removing several provisions from the SIP, as EPA's previous approval of 
these provisions into the SIP was done in error. In a separate 
subsequent final rulemaking, EPA will address the portion of the direct 
final on which relevant adverse comments were received.

DATES: Effective May 16, 2019, the EPA withdraws amendatory 
instructions 2.b. and 2.h. in the direct final rule published at 84 FR 
6334, on February 27, 2019.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeff Riley, Infrastructure and Ozone 
Section, 1445 Ross Avenue, Dallas, Texas, Suite 700, Dallas, TX 75202, 
214-665-8542, riley.jeffrey@epa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,'' and 
``our'' means the EPA. On February 27, 2019 we published a direct final 
rule to approve revisions to the New Mexico SIP incorporating updates 
to SIP-approved New Mexico statutes, as well as removing several 
provisions from the SIP, as EPA's previous approval of these provisions 
into the SIP was done in error (84 FR 6334). The direct final rule was 
published without prior proposal because we anticipated no adverse 
comments. We stated in the direct final rule that if we received 
relevant adverse comments by March 29, 2019, we would publish a timely 
withdrawal in the Federal Register. We received relevant adverse 
comments regarding the removal of New Mexico Statutes Annotated 1978 
(NMSA) sections 74-2-6, 74-2-12, and 74-2-13 and accordingly are 
withdrawing the portion of the direct final rule on which adverse 
comments were received. In a separate subsequent final rulemaking we 
will address the comments received.

become effective on May 28, 2019, are withdrawn as of May 16, 2019.
