Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; New Mexico; Revision to the State Implementation Plan Correcting Sulfur Dioxide Enforceability Deficiencies

Riepilogo

The EPA proposes to approve a revision to the New Mexico State Implementation Plan (SIP) to include revisions to New Mexico Air Quality Control Regulations (AQCRs) 602, 651, and 652. These revisions correct enforceability deficiencies and strengthen the provisions of the regulations. This action also proposes to remove AQCR 605 from the New Mexico SIP because AQCR 605 has never applied to a facility within the State, and the State's operating permits and new source review programs would govern any such sources which would exist in the future. In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision amendment and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this proposed rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this rule. If the EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn, and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. Th
