Air Plan Approval; New Mexico; Interstate Transport Requirements
for the 2008 Ozone NAAQS

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Clean Air Act, (CAA or Act), the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing action on submissions from the
State of New Mexico and the City of Albuquerque--Bernalillo County that
are intended to demonstrate that the New Mexico State Implementation
Plan (SIP) meets certain interstate transport requirements of the CAA
for the 2008 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).
These submissions address interstate transport, CAA section
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I), which requires each state's SIP to prohibit
emissions which will significantly contribute to nonattainment or
interfere with maintenance of the NAAQS in other states. The EPA is
proposing to approve these submittals based on the conclusion that New
Mexico will not significantly contribute to nonattainment or interfere
with maintenance of the 2008 ozone NAAQS in any other state.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before January 2, 2020.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket Number EPA-R06-
OAR-2018-0705, at http://www.regulations.gov or via email to

I. Background

    On March 12, 2008, the EPA revised the levels of the primary and
secondary 8-hour ozone NAAQS from 0.08 parts per million (ppm) to 0.075
ppm (73 FR 16436, March 27, 2008).
    Primary standards are set to protect human health while secondary
standards are set to protect public welfare. The 2008 ozone NAAQS are
met at an ambient air quality monitoring site when the 3-year average
of the annual fourth-highest daily maximum 8-hour average ozone
concentration is less than or equal to the NAAQS, as determined in
accordance with appendix P to 40 CFR part 50.\1\ This action is being
taken in response to the promulgation of the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Under appendix P, digits to the right of the third decimal
place are truncated.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The CAA requires states submit, within three years after
promulgation of a new or revised standard, SIP revisions meeting the
applicable ``infrastructure'' elements of sections 110(a)(1) and (2).
One of these applicable infrastructure elements, CAA section
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I), requires SIPs to contain provisions to prohibit
certain adverse air quality effects on downwind states due to
interstate transport of pollution. Specifically, section
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) requires that each SIP for a new or revised standard
contain adequate provisions to prohibit any emissions activity within
the State from emitting air pollutants that will ``contribute
significantly to nonattainment'' (sub-element 1) or ``interfere with
maintenance'' (sub-element 2) of the applicable air quality standard in
any other state.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ All other parts of the infrastructure SIP for the State of
New Mexico were submitted on September 14, 2013 and final approval
was published June 24, 2015 (80 FR 36246). All other parts of the
2008 ozone infrastructure SIP for City of Albuquerque--Bernalillo
County were submitted December 26, 2008 and final approval was
published September 19, 2013 (77 FR 58032).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Ozone is not emitted directly into the air but is created by
chemical reactions between oxides of nitrogen (NOX) and
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the presence of sunlight.
Emissions from electric utilities and industrial facilities, motor
vehicles, gasoline vapors, and chemical solvents are some of the major
sources of NOX and VOCs. Because ground-level ozone
formation increases with temperature and sunlight, ozone levels are
generally higher during the summer. Increased temperature also
increases emissions of VOCs and can indirectly increase NOX
emissions (See 81 FR 74504, 74513, October 26, 2016).
    EPA has established a four-step interstate transport framework to
address the sub-element 1 and 2 requirements for ozone and fine
particulate matter (PM2.5) NAAQS through the development and
implementation of several previous rulemakings.\3\ The four steps of
this framework are as follows: (1) Identify downwind air quality
problems; (2) identify upwind states that impact those downwind air
quality problems enough to warrant further review and analysis; (3)
identify the emissions reductions, if any, necessary to prevent an
identified upwind state from contributing significantly or interfering
with maintenance with respect to those downwind air quality problems;
and (4) adopt permanent and enforceable measures needed to achieve
those emissions reductions. The EPA has applied this framework in
various actions addressing sub-elements 1 and 2 for the
PM2.5 and ozone NAAQS.\4\ In prior actions, the EPA has
concluded that states with impacts on downwind nonattainment and
maintenance receptors less than 1% of the 2008 ozone NAAQS do not
significantly contribute to nonattainment or interfere with maintenance
pursuant to CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I). This framework will be
followed in this evaluation.

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

    To assist states with meeting section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I)
requirements for the 2008 ozone NAAQS, the EPA has conducted interstate
ozone transport modeling, provided informational memos, issued two
Notices of Data Availability (NODAs), and issued regional rules that
use the four-step framework to evaluate states' interstate transport
obligations. The modeling data were developed to inform our analysis,
in various actions, of downwind air quality problems and upwind state
impacts on those problems. We published and requested public comment on
interstate ozone transport modeling data for two different analytic
years. For the purposes of this document, we will be referring to the
data from these as the ``Transport Future Year 2017 modeling'' \5\ and
the ``Transport Future Year 2023 modeling.'' \6\ The final version of
the Transport Future Year 2017 modeling was released with the CSAPR
Update and included projections of downwind nonattainment and
maintenance receptors as well as calculations of the projected impacts
of upwind states to these downwind receptors. The latest version of the
Transport Future Year 2023 modeling relied on in this action was
released in an October 27, 2017 memorandum ``Supplemental Information

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

    Using the four step framework and considering the information in
the memos, the underlying modeling information and NODA's discussed
above, EPA conducted a Weight of Evidence (WOE) evaluation of the State
of New Mexico SIP submittal (submitted by the New Mexico Environment
Department), the City of Albuquerque--Bernalillo County SIP submittal
(submitted by the City of Albuquerque Environmental Health Department)
and the New Mexico SIP.

II. New Mexico's and City of Albuquerque-Bernalillo County's NAAQS
Infrastructure Submissions

    The New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) and City of
Albuquerque Environmental Health Department (EHD) each provided
submissions intended to demonstrate how the existing New Mexico SIP
meets the applicable 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) requirements for the 2008 ozone
NAAQS. The NMED submittal was received on October 10, 2018 \9\ while
the EHD submittal was made on October 4, 2018. Because the City of
Albuquerque and Bernalillo County are a separate, combined jurisdiction
from the rest of New Mexico for air quality purposes, the agencies for
each jurisdiction made separate submittals to EPA for the
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) requirement for 2008 ozone NAAQS. NMED made the
submittal on behalf of the New Mexico governor for the City of
Albuquerque--Bernalillo County. NMED made the submittal covering the
remainder of the State. Each submittal applied a common analytical
framework addressing the State as a whole.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The cover letter is dated July 24, 2018.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Relevant statutes and local ordinances convey the legislative
authority for these submittals. Legislative authority for New Mexico's
air quality program is codified in Chapter 74 (Environmental
Improvement) of the New Mexico Statutes Annotated 1978 (NMSA 1978),
which gives the State Environmental Improvement Board and NMED the
authority to implement the CAA in New Mexico. Legislative authority for
the City of Albuquerque--Bernalillo County Air Quality Control Board
and EHD is codified in NMSA 1978 section 74-2-4 and in local
ordinances, Revised Ordinances of the City of Albuquerque sections 9-1-
5-1 to 9-1-5-99, and Bernalillo County Ordinances sections 30-31 to 30-
47.
    The authority to implement air quality programs under State
statutes is contained in the New Mexico Administrative Code (NMAC),
specifically Title 20, Chapter 2--Air Quality (Statewide) and Title 20,
Chapter 11--City of Albuquerque--Bernalillo County Air Quality Control
Board. These regulations are part of the approved New Mexico SIP and
cited in 40 CFR 52.1620(c).
    In their submittals, NMED and EHD, both point to certain rules and
the Statutes Codified at Title 74 of the NMSA (the Air Quality Control
Act 74-2-1) in the infrastructure SIPs (i-SIPs) to support their
authority that the New Mexico SIP meets the requirements to prohibit
certain adverse air quality effects on downwind states due to
interstate transport of pollution. Specifically, they assert in the
submittals that the SIP contains adequate provisions to prohibit any
emissions activity within the State from emitting air pollutants that
will ``contribute significantly to nonattainment'' (sub-element 1) or
``interfere with maintenance'' (sub-element 2) of the applicable air
quality standard in any other state.
    NMED's portion of the SIP contains enforceable emission limitations
and other control measures for ozone and its precursors (including
NOX and VOCs) in Title 20 Chapter 2 of the New Mexico
Administrative Code, Parts 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 32-34, 72-75, 79, and 99.
EHD's portion of the SIP contains enforceable emissions limitations and
other control measures for any NAAQS, including ozone and its
precursors in Title 20, Chapter 11 NMAC Parts 1-8, 40-41, 47, 49, 60-
61, 63-67, 90, and 102. New Mexico and Bernalillo County regulations
that have been approved in the New Mexico SIP can be found listed at 40
CFR 52.1620(c).
    Both agencies point to the rules for New Source Performance
Standards (NSPS), National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAPS), and Maximum Achievable Control Technology
Standards for Source Categories of Hazardous Air Pollutants (MACT).
    We note that the SIP approved rules for NMED at <IP_ADDRESS>.A(3) and
(6) require that a source subject to NSPS, NESHAPS, and/or MACT must
obtain a New Source Review (NSR) SIP Permit. The SIP approved rule at
<IP_ADDRESS> requires that an NSR SIP permit cannot be issued if
violations of the NAAQS, NSPS, NESHAPS, MACT, PSD increment, NMED
rules, and NMED statutes would occur. The EHD SIP approved rules
incorporate by reference the requirement to meet New Source Performance
Standards for Stationary Sources, in 20.11.63 NMAC, and Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary Sources in
20.11.64 NMAC. We note that SIP approved rule for EHD at <IP_ADDRESS>.B.1
NMAC requires that sources within Bernalillo County subject to NSPS and
NESHAP must obtain an NSR SIP permit. The SIP approved rule at
<IP_ADDRESS>(A) requires that an NSR SIP permit cannot be issued if
violations of the NAAQS, NSPS, NESHAPS, Board rule, and Air Quality
Control Act would occur. The SIP approved rule at <IP_ADDRESS>.B
reiterates this.
    NMED and EHD also considered the EPA's modeling when developing
their SIP submittals intended to demonstrate that their SIP meets CAA
section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) requirements for the 2008 ozone NAAQS. They
state that neither the Transport Future Year 2017 modeling nor the
Transport Future Year 2023 modeling linked New Mexico to any
nonattainment receptors in other states. They note that the Transport
Future Year 2017 modeling linked New Mexico to one maintenance
receptor, National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL), monitor 080590011, in
Jefferson County, Colorado, but that the Transport Future Year 2023
modeling did not show New Mexico linked to any maintenance receptors in
other states.
    In their submittals, NMED and EHD conclude, using a WOE approach,
that New Mexico emissions will not contribute significantly to
nonattainment or interfere with maintenance of the 2008 ozone NAAQS in
other states. They based their WOE conclusion on four elements: (1) The
insignificance of EPA modeled impact on nonattainment and maintenance
receptors of concern in 2023; (2) Control measures scheduled to be
implemented through 2023 that were incorporated into EPA's modeling;
(3) An attainment demonstration approved for the Denver nonattainment
area for the 2008 ozone NAAQS; And, (4) an exceptional events
demonstration for wildfires, which occurred in 2017 that supported the
Denver attainment demonstration.

    As discussed above, it was necessary for both NMED and the EHD to
make independent submittals to demonstrate how the existing New Mexico
SIP meets the applicable CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) requirements
for the 2008 ozone NAAQS because the organizations have authority for
air pollution control in different areas of the State. The submittals,
however, are sufficiently similar that for our evaluation we will refer
to the departments jointly as ``New Mexico'' in this document.

III. EPA's Evaluation

A. EPA's Sub-Element 1 Evaluation (Do emissions originating in New
Mexico contribute significantly to the nonattainment of the 2008 ozone
NAAQS in other states?)

    EPA reviewed all elements of the WOE analysis provided in the New
Mexico submittals as well as additional relevant technical information
to determine whether the SIP has adequate provisions to ensure
emissions from the State will not contribute significantly to
nonattainment of the 2008 ozone NAAQS in a downwind state. While we
reviewed all 4 elements of New Mexico's submittal we found elements 1
and 2 to be the most relevant and persuasive with consideration of the
additional information provided by EPA's Transport Future Year 2017
modeling analysis. The EPA conducted this review within the established
four-step interstate transport framework.
Step 1--Identification of Downwind Air Quality Problems
    In order to determine whether a state will contribute significantly
to nonattainment of the NAAQS in other states, the EPA first identifies
projected nonattainment problems in a future analytic year (step 1 of
the four-step framework). As mentioned above, EPA identifies
nonattainment receptors as those monitoring sites that have projected
average Future Design Values (FDVs) \10\ exceeding the NAAQS. Both
models discussed in Section I above (Transport Future Year 2017 model
and Transport Future Year 2023 model) evaluated potential downwind air
quality problems and projected contributions from upwind states to
downwind receptors.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ The modeling analyses projects FDVs by adjusting observed
ambient concentrations during a selected base-case year using a
ratio based on changes in model response at a receptor due to
changes in emissions between the base-case year and the future year.
The average FDV is calculated using an average base DV that is an
average of the three DVs that include the 2011 base-case year in the
DV. In this case, it is the average of the DVs (2009-2011 DV, 2010-
2012 DV, and 2011-2013 DV). The maximum FDV is calculated using a
maximum base DV that includes the base-case 2011 year in the DV. In
this case, it is the maximum DV of the 2009-2011 DV, 2010-2012 DV,
and 2011-2013 DV. Both the average and maximum DVs are adjusted
using model response changes due to emissions changes between 2011
and the future analysis years of either 2023 and 2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Both the Transport Future Year 2017 modeling and Transport Future
Year 2023 modeling utilized a modeled base-case year of 2011 and
monitoring data from the 2009-2013 period to establish the base period
DVs. The Transport Future Year 2017 model projected downwind air
quality problems and upwind state contributions using meteorological
input from the base-case period (2011) with source emissions data
estimated for the future year 2017 to yield model projected ozone
levels in the future year analysis (2017), also called the ``2017
analytic year.'' The Transport Future Year 2023 model projected
downwind air quality problems and upwind state contributions using
meteorological input from the base-case period (2011) with source
emissions data estimated for the future year 2023 to yield model
projected ozone levels for the future year 2023 analysis, also called
the ``2023 analytic year.'' The Transport Future Year 2017 model
forecasted nonattainment receptors located in several areas across the
continental United States for the 2008 ozone NAAQS. The Transport
Future Year 2023 model forecasted nonattainment receptors only in
California for the 2008 ozone NAAQS.
Step 2--Identify Upwind States That Impact Those Downwind Air Quality
Problems Enough To Warrant Further Review and Analysis
    Consistent with previous rulemakings,\11\ EPA applied a threshold
of 1% of the 2008 ozone NAAQS of 75 ppb (0.75 ppb) to identify linkages
at step 2 between upwind states and downwind nonattainment receptors.
Accordingly, if a state's impact on identified downwind receptors did
not equal or exceed 0.75 ppb, the state was not considered ``linked''
to those receptors and was not considered to contribute significantly
to nonattainment or interfere with maintenance of the standard in those
downwind areas. However, if a state's impact equaled or exceeded the
0.75 ppb threshold, that state was considered ``linked'' to the
downwind nonattainment or maintenance receptor(s) and further analysis
was conducted at step 3 to determine whether the state significantly
contributes to nonattainment and in what degree.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See Finding of Significant Contribution and Rulemaking for
Certain States in the Ozone Transport Assessment Group Region for
Purposes of Reducing Regional Transport of Ozone (also known as the
NOX SIP Call), 63 FR 57356 (October 27, 1998); Clean Air
Interstate Rule (CAIR) Final Rule, 70 FR 25162 (May 12, 2005); CSAPR
Final Rule, 76 FR 48208 (August 8, 2011); CSAPR Update for the 2008
Ozone NAAQS (CSAPR Update) Final Rule, 81 FR 74504 (October 26,
2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As further discussed in our Technical Support Document (TSD) for
this action, neither the 2017 nor the 2023 modeling showed New Mexico
linked to any nonattainment receptor. The largest impact New Mexico was
forecasted by the Transport Future Year 2017 model to make on a
nonattainment area (Imperial County, California) was 0.26 ppb, well
under EPA's 1% threshold. Likewise, the largest impact New Mexico is
forecasted by the Transport Future Year 2023 model to make on a
nonattainment area (Imperial County, California) is 0.13 ppb, again,
well under EPA's 1% threshold. Since New Mexico is not forecasted to be
linked to nonattainment areas at step 2 of the four-step interstate
transport framework, undertaking a review of and analyses for the
remainder of the four-step process is not warranted. Accordingly, the
EPA proposes to agree with the NMED and EHD submittals based on the
conclusion that New Mexico will not contribute significantly to
nonattainment in any other state and therefore proposes to approve the
two SIP revisions with respect to sub-element 1 of the good neighbor
provision.

B. EPA's Sub-Element 2 Evaluation (Do emissions originating in New
Mexico interfere with maintenance of the 2008 ozone NAAQS in other
states?)

    As described in EPA's Sub-Element 1 Evaluation, EPA reviewed all
elements of WOE analysis presented in the New Mexico submittals and
additional relevant technical information to determine whether the SIP
has adequate provisions to ensure emissions from the State will not
interfere with maintenance of the 2008 ozone NAAQS in a downwind state.
Step 1--Identification of Downwind Air Quality Problems
    In order to determine whether a state will interfere with
maintenance of the NAAQS in downwind states, EPA first identifies
projected maintenance problems in a future analytic year (i.e. step 1
of the four-step framework). EPA identifies maintenance receptors as
those monitoring sites with projected maximum FDVs exceeding the NAAQS.
As discussed, we have two relevant interstate ozone transport modeling
analysis, the Transport Future Year

2017 model analysis and the Transport Future Year 2023 model analysis.
The Transport Future Year 2017 model projected maintenance receptors
located in several areas across the continental United States for the
2008 ozone NAAQS. The Transport Future Year 2023 model projected
maintenance receptors only in California for the 2008 ozone NAAQS.
Step 2--Identify Upwind States That Impact Those Downwind Air Quality
Problems Enough To Warrant Further Review and Analysis
    As above and consistent with previous rulemakings,\12\ EPA applied
a threshold of 1% of the 2008 ozone NAAQS of 75 ppb (0.75 ppb) to
identify linkages at step 2 between upwind states and downwind
maintenance receptors. EPA's Transport Future Year 2017 model analysis
indicated New Mexico was linked to one maintenance receptor, NREL,
monitor 080590011, in Jefferson County, Colorado with a maximum modeled
2017 future DV of 0.78 ppb (above the 0.75 ppb 2008 ozone NAAQS), and
the modeling-based contribution from New Mexico is 0.77 ppb (above the
0.75 ppb 1% contribution threshold by 0.02 ppb). The Transport Future
Year 2023 model analysis did not show New Mexico linked to any
maintenance receptors in 2023. The currently applicable ozone
attainment date for the 2008 NAAQS in the Denver area is July 2021 and
would apply to the NREL receptor. We, however, have not conducted any
air quality modeling aligned with the 2021 attainment date, so we
evaluated available modeling and emissions data to determine whether we
would expect the linkage identified in the 2017 modeling to persist in
a year aligned with the applicable attainment date, 2021. As discussed
further below, we believe that the New Mexico contribution is currently
below the 1% threshold.

    EPA examined the projected decrease in New Mexico's anthropogenic
NOX emissions inventories between the Transport Future Year
2017 (156,783 tons of NOX) and Transport Future Year 2023
modeling analyses (130,318 tons of NOX), see TSD for full
analysis. We evaluated the change in New Mexico's anthropogenic
NOX emissions since previous EPA regional modeling has
indicated reductions in NOX emissions result in more ozone
reductions in the context of reducing upwind state impacts on downwind
receptors in other states.\13\ Regional modeling in Colorado and Denver
also indicate that area ozone levels are more sensitive to
NOX reductions. There is a projected decrease of 26,465 tons
of NOX (approximately 17%) between 2017 and 2023 with most
of these reductions (22,292 tons of NOX) occurring from
fleet turnover in onroad, nonroad, and rail emissions. New Mexico's
Electrical Generating Unit (EGU) NOX emissions are also
projected to decrease by 939 tons (approximately 7% of EGU
NOX emissions) between 2017 and 2023. The Transport Future
Year 2017 analysis includes controls put on San Juan Generating Station
Units 1 and 4 and the Transport Future Year 2023 analysis also included
reductions due to the enforceable shutdowns of units 2 and 3 by
December 31, 2017 as part of Regional Haze Best Available Retrofit
Technology (``BART'') SIP.\14\

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

    Since most of the decreases in New Mexico's anthropogenic
NOX emissions are from mobile, onroad, and rail source
categories that change annually due to fleet turnover, it is
reasonable, in this case, to assume that the change in New Mexico's
anthropogenic NOX emissions and downwind ozone impacts is
approximately linear for these categories, which in turn would make the
decrease in New Mexico contributions to the NREL receptor approximately
linear.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ Linear interpolation may not be appropriate in other
situations where, for example, the emissions reductions occur as a
single step decline during one of the intervening years, and/or when
the magnitude of the emissions reduction is relatively large, and/or
when the interpolation is done over a long-time horizon.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In March 2018 EPA released modeling contribution data for 2023. We
used the daily contribution data from this 2023 modeling as part of the
process for estimating contributions in the 2020 analytic year. This
process included a linear interpolation of contributions between 2017
and 2023 to estimate the contribution from New Mexico in 2020. In order
to ensure consistency in the 2020 and 2023 contributions for use in
interpolating between these two analytic years, EPA calculated the
average contribution from New Mexico to the NREL receptor using the
underlying daily 2023 contribution data for the same days that were
used to calculate the average contribution for 2017. Specifically, the
2017 contribution analysis included 5 days and we used the daily
contributions from these same 5 days to calculate the Transport Future
Year 2023 average contribution. Using this consistent methodology, the
contribution from New Mexico in 2023 is 0.65 ppb in 2023, which is
below the 1% contribution threshold.
    We note that change in contribution between 2017 (0.77 ppb) and
2023 (0.65 ppb) is approximately a 16% decrease, which is very similar
with the decrease of approximately 17% in New Mexico's anthropogenic
NOX emissions inventories between those two years and
further supports using linear interpolation in this case. A linear
interpolation between the 2017 contribution of 0.77 ppb and the 2023
contribution of 0.65 ppb gives an estimate of the linear rate of
decline of the contribution of New Mexico to the NREL monitor of 0.022
ppb per year (0.77-0.65)/6. An estimate of the analytic year
contribution for 2020 can be calculated by the equation (0.77-3 * 0.022
ppb) = 0.71. Thus, EPA estimates that the contribution of New Mexico to
the NREL maintenance monitor is and will continue to be below the 1%
threshold, 0.75 ppb, for determining a linkage.
    Had future year modeling been performed for an earlier year of 2020
which would align with 2021 Serious area attainment date for Denver
area, our analysis indicates that New Mexico's contribution would be
below 0.75 ppb to the NREL receptor, regardless of whether NREL was a
maintenance receptor for the 2008 ozone NAAQS in that year, and New
Mexico would not be linked to the NREL receptor. By this analysis, New
Mexico is not forecasted to be linked to NREL or other maintenance
receptors at step 2 of the four-step interstate transport framework,
thus, completing a review of and analyses for the remainder of the
four-step process is not warranted.
    Based on our review of the October 10, 2018, NMED submittal and the
October 4, 2018, EHD submittal and other relevant information, EPA
proposes to approve the submissions based on the conclusion that New
Mexico emissions will not interfere with maintenance of the 2008 ozone
NAAQS in any other state and therefore propose to approve the two SIP
revisions.

IV. Proposed Action

    EPA is proposing to (1) determine that consistent with the CAA,
that both, New Mexico and City of Albuquerque-Bernalillo County have
met their

obligation under CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) because New Mexico will
not significantly contribute to nonattainment or interfere with
maintenance of the 2008 ozone NAAQS in any other state and (2) approve
the October 10, 2018 New Mexico and October 4, 2018 City of
Albuquerque-Bernalillo County SIP revisions for the 2008 ozone NAAQS
interstate transport requirements of CAA 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I).

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely proposes to approve state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866;
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the proposed rule does not have tribal implications and will
not impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt
tribal law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November
9, 2000).

    Persons interested in being placed on a mailing list for future
NPRMs should contact the FAA's Office of Rulemaking<PHONE_NUMBER>, to
request a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11-2A, Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application
procedure.

The Proposal

    This action proposes to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR), Part 71 by adding additional Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface for SIAPs at Corpus Christi
International Airport, Corpus Christi, TX. The addition of the RNAV
(RNP) RWY 35 SIAP at the airport has created the need to extend Class E
airspace to the south of the existing controlled airspace. The
geographic coordinates of Aransas County Airport will also be adjusted
in accordance with the FAA's National Aeronautical Navigation Services.
Controlled airspace is needed for the safety and management of IFR
operations at the airport.
    Class E airspace areas are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9T, dated August 27, 2009, and effective September 15, 2009, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace
designation listed in this document would be published subsequently in
the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore, (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 describes
the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation
Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it would add additional controlled airspace in the Corpus Christi,
TX area.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The schedule in this document supercedes
previously published schedules for enforcement of 33 CFR 165.930 (79 FR
28434, May 16, 2014, USCG-2011-0228-0024; and 79 FR 34231, June 16,
2014, USCG-2011-0228-0025) due to the installation of a new permanent
fish barrier. The Captain of the Port suspends these previously issued
schedules.
    The Coast Guard will enforce a segment of the Safety Zone; Brandon
Road Lock and Dam to Lake Michigan including Des Plaines River, Chicago
Sanitary and Ship Canal, Chicago River, Calumet-Saganashkee Channel,
Chicago, IL, listed in 33 CFR 165.930. Specifically, the Coast Guard
will enforce this safety zone on all waters of the Chicago Sanitary and
Ship Canal between Mile Marker 296.1 to Mile Marker 296.7. Enforcement
will occur from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily from June 30 to July 3, July 7
to July 11, July 14 to July 18, and intermittently between 7 a.m. and 4
p.m. daily from July 21 to July 25, July 28 to August 1, August 4 to

IFR Altitudes; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts miscellaneous amendments to the required
IFR (instrument flight rules) altitudes and changeover points for
certain Federal airways, jet routes, or direct routes for which a
minimum or maximum en route authorized IFR altitude is prescribed. This
regulatory action is needed because of changes occurring in the
National Airspace System. These changes are designed to provide for the
safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace under instrument
conditions in the affected areas.

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, October 17, 2013.

telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This amendment to part 95 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 95) amends, suspends, or revokes IFR
altitudes governing the operation of all aircraft in flight over a
specified route or any portion of that route, as well as the changeover
points (COPs) for Federal airways, jet routes, or direct routes as
prescribed in part 95.

The Rule

    The specified IFR altitudes, when used in conjunction with the
prescribed changeover points for those routes, ensure navigation aid
coverage that is adequate for safe flight operations and free of
frequency interference. The reasons and circumstances that create the
need for this amendment involve matters of flight safety and
operational efficiency in the National Airspace System, are related to
published aeronautical charts that are essential to the user, and
provide for the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace. In
addition, those various reasons or circumstances require making this
amendment effective before the next scheduled charting and publication
date of the flight information to assure its timely availability to the
user. The effective date of this amendment reflects those
considerations. In view of the close and immediate relationship between
these regulatory changes and safety in air commerce, I find that notice
and public procedure before adopting this amendment are impracticable
and contrary to the public interest and that good cause exists for
making the amendment effective in less than 30 days.

Conclusion

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
