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: [email protected].
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.
