ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R06-OAR-2014-0642; FRL-9943-42-Region 6]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
New Mexico; and Albuquerque/Bernalillo County; Revisions To Establish 
Small Business Stationary Source Technical and Environmental Compliance 
Assistance Programs

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve revisions to the New Mexico State Implementation Plan (SIP) for 
both the State and Albuquerque/Bernalillo County. These proposed 
revisions establish Small Business Stationary Assistance Source 
Technical and Environmental Compliance Assistance Programs. The EPA is 
proposing to approve these revisions pursuant to sections 110 and 
507(a) of the Clean Air Act (CAA).

DATES: Written comments should be received on or before April 11, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted 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. John Walser, (214) 665-7128, 
walser.john@epa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Rules and Regulations section of this 
Federal Register, the EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a 
direct rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a 
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 the 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relevant adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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. The 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 and Regulations section of this Federal Register.

    Dated: February 24, 2016.

Regional Administrator, Region 6.
