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.

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.
