ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[EPA-R06-OAR-2014-0626; FRL-9930-26-Region 6]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; New Mexico;
Revisions to the Particulate Matter Less Than 2.5 Micrometers (PM2.5)
Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) Permitting Program State
Implementation Plan (SIP)
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve portions of two revisions to the New Mexico SIP for the
permitting of PM2.5 emissions submitted on May 23, 2011, and
August 6, 2014. Together, these submittals revise the New Mexico PSD
program to be consistent with the federal PSD regulations regarding the
use of a significant impact level (SIL) or significant monitoring
concentration (SMC) for PM2.5 emissions. We are proposing to
approve these SIP revisions to regulate PM2.5 emissions in
accordance with requirements of section 110 and part C of the Clean Air
Act.
DATES: Written comments must be received on or before August 13, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Ms. Adina Wiley, Air Planning
Section (6PD-R), Environmental Protection Agency, 1445 Ross Avenue,
Ste. 1200, Dallas, TX 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: Ms. Adina Wiley, 214-665-2115,
[email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP submittals as a direct rule
without prior proposal because the Agency views this as
noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all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 on this action should do
so at this time.
For additional information, see the direct final rule which is
located in the rules section of this Federal Register.
Dated: June 30, 2015.

Regional Administrator, Region 6.
