New Source Performance Standards and National Emission Standards
for Hazardous Air Pollutants; Delegation of Authority to Albuquerque-
Bernalillo County Air Quality Control Board

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule; delegation of authority.

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

SUMMARY: The Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Air Quality Control Board
(ABCAQCB) has submitted updated regulations for receiving delegation
and approval of a program for the implementation and enforcement of
certain New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for all sources (both
Title V and non-Title V sources). These updated regulations apply to
certain NSPS promulgated by the EPA, as amended between September 14,
2013, and January 23, 2017; certain NESHAP promulgated by the EPA, as
amended between September 14, 2013, and January 23, 2017; and other
NESHAP promulgated by the EPA, as amended between September 14, 2013,
and January 23, 2017, as adopted by the ABCAQCB. The EPA is providing
notice that it is updating the delegation of certain NSPS to ABCAQCB
and taking final action to approve the delegation of certain NESHAP to
ABCAQCB. The delegation of authority under this action does not apply
to sources located in areas defined as Indian Country.

DATES: This rule is effective on December 15, 2020 without further
notice, unless the EPA receives relevant adverse comment by October 16,
2020. If the EPA receives such comment, the EPA will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that the
updated NESHAP delegation will not take effect; however, the NSPS
delegation will not be affected by such action.

XIII. Final Action
XIV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. What does this action do?

    The EPA is providing notice that it is updating the delegation for
the implementation and enforcement of certain NSPS. The EPA is also
taking direct final action to approve the delegation of certain NESHAP
to ABCAQCB. With this delegation, ABCAQCB has the primary
responsibility to implement and enforce the delegated standards. See
sections VII and VIII, below, for a discussion of which standards are
being delegated and which are not being delegated.

II. What is the authority for delegation?

    Upon the EPA's finding that the procedures submitted by a state or
local agency for the implementation and enforcement of standards of
performance for new sources located in the state or local agency are
adequate, Section 111(c)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) authorizes the
EPA to delegate its authority to implement and enforce such standards.
The NSPS are codified at 40 CFR part 60.
    Section 112(l) of the CAA and 40 CFR part 63, subpart E, authorize
the EPA to delegate authority for the implementation and enforcement of
NESHAP to a state or local agency that satisfies the statutory and
regulatory requirements in subpart E. The NESHAP are codified at 40 CFR
parts 61 and 63.

III. What criteria must ABCAQCB's programs meet to be approved?

    In order to receive delegation of NSPS, a state must develop and
submit to the EPA a procedure for implementing and enforcing the NSPS
in the state, or in the local agency's jurisdiction as discussed above,
and their regulations and resources must be adequate for the
implementation and enforcement of the NSPS. The EPA initially approved
ABCAQCB's program for the delegation of NSPS on December 20, 1989 (54
FR 52031). The EPA reviewed the rules and regulations of the ABCAQCB
and determined ABCAQCB's procedures, regulations and resources adequate
for the implementation and enforcement of the Federal standards. The
NSPS delegation was most recently updated on February 19, 2015 (80 FR
8799). This action notifies the public that the EPA is updating
ABCAQCB's delegation to

implement and enforce certain additional NSPS since the last update.
    Section 112(l)(5) of the CAA requires the EPA to disapprove any
program submitted by a state for the delegation of NESHAP if the EPA
determines that:
    (A) The authorities contained in the program are not adequate to
assure compliance by the sources within the state with respect to each
applicable standard, regulation, or requirement established under
section 112;
    (B) Adequate authority does not exist, or adequate resources are
not available, to implement the program;
    (C) The schedule for implementing the program and assuring
compliance by affected sources is not sufficiently expeditious; or
    (D) The program is otherwise not in compliance with the guidance
issued by the EPA under section 112(l)(2) or is not likely to satisfy,
in whole or in part, the objectives of the CAA.
    In carrying out its responsibilities under section 112(l), the EPA
promulgated regulations at 40 CFR part 63, subpart E setting forth
criteria for the approval of submitted programs. For example, in order
to obtain approval of a program to implement and enforce Federal
section 112 rules as promulgated without changes (straight delegation),
a state must demonstrate that it meets the criteria of 40 CFR 63.91(d).
40 CFR 63.91(d)(3) provides that interim or final Title V program
approval will satisfy the criteria of 40 CFR 63.91(d).\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Some NESHAP do not require a source to obtain a Title V
permit (e.g., certain area sources that are exempt from the
requirement to obtain a Title V permit). For these non-Title V
sources, the EPA believes that the state must assure the EPA that it
can implement and enforce the NESHAP for such sources. See 65 FR
55810, 55813 (Sept. 14, 2000).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The NESHAP delegation for ABCAQCB, as it applies to both Title V
and non-Title V sources, was most recently approved on February 19,
2015 (80 FR 8799).

IV. How did ABCAQCB meet the NSPS and NESHAP program approval criteria?

    As to the NSPS in 40 CFR part 60, ABCAQCB adopted the Federal
standards via incorporation by reference into State regulations. The
ABCAQCB regulations are, therefore, at least as stringent as the EPA's
rules. See 40 CFR 60.10(a). Also, in the EPA initial approval of NSPS
delegation, we determined that the State developed procedures for
implementing and enforcing the NSPS in the State, and that the State's
regulations and resources are adequate for the implementation and
enforcement of the Federal standards. See 54 FR 52031 (December 20,
1989).
    As to the NESHAP in 40 CFR parts 61 and 63, ABCAQCB's Title V
program submission dated April 4, 1994, stated that it intended to use
the mechanism of incorporation by reference to adopt unchanged Federal
section 112 standards into its regulations. See 60 FR 2527 (January 10,
1995). This commitment applied to both existing and future standards as
they applied to part 70 sources. The EPA's final interim approval of
ABCAQCB's Title V operating permits program delegated the authority to
implement certain NESHAP. See 60 FR 13046 (March 10, 1995). On November
26, 1996, the EPA promulgated final full approval of ABCAQCB's
operating permits program, effective January 27, 1997 (61 FR 60032).
These interim and final Title V program approvals satisfy the upfront
approval criteria of 40 CFR 63.91(d). Under 40 CFR 63.91(d)(2), once a
state has satisfied the up-front approval criteria, it needs only to
reference the previous demonstration and reaffirm that it still meets
the criteria for any subsequent submittals for delegation of the
section 112 standards. As stated in its May 24, 2017, submittal,
ABCAQCB has affirmed that it still meets the up-front approval
criteria. With respect to non-Title V sources, the EPA has previously
approved delegation of NESHAP authorities to ABCAQCB after finding
adequate authorities to implement and enforce the NESHAP for non-Title
V sources. See 70 FR 73138 (December 9, 2005).

V. What is being delegated?

    By letter dated May 24, 2017, the EPA received a request from
ABCAQCB to update its NSPS delegation and NESHAP delegation. With
certain exceptions noted in section VI below, ABCAQCB's request
includes certain NSPS promulgated by the EPA at 40 CFR part 60, as
amended between September 13, 2013, and January 23, 2017; certain
NESHAP promulgated by the EPA at 40 CFR part 61, as amended between
September 13, 2013, and January 23, 2017; and other NESHAP promulgated
by the EPA at 40 CFR part 63, as amended between September 13, 2013,
and January 23, 2017, as adopted by the ABCAQCB.

VI. What is not being delegated?

    All authorities not affirmatively and expressly delegated by this
action are not delegated. These include the following part 60, 61 and
63 authorities listed below:
     40 CFR part 60, subpart AAA (Standards of Performance for
New Residential Wood Heaters);
     40 CFR part 60, subpart QQQQ (Standards of Performance for
New Residential Hydronic Heaters and Forced-Air Furnaces);
     40 CFR part 61, subpart B (National Emission Standards for
Radon Emissions From Underground Uranium Mines);
     40 CFR part 61, subpart H (National Emission Standards for
Emissions of Radionuclides Other Than Radon From Department of Energy
Facilities);
     40 CFR part 61, subpart I (National Emission Standards for
Radionuclide Emissions From Federal Facilities Other Than Nuclear
Regulatory Commission Licensees and Not Covered by Subpart H);
     40 CFR part 61, subpart K (National Emission Standards for
Radionuclide Emissions From Elemental Phosphorus Plants);
     40 CFR part 61, subpart Q (National Emission Standards for
Radon Emissions From Department of Energy facilities);
     40 CFR part 61, subpart R (National Emission Standards for
Radon Emissions From Phosphogypsum Stacks);
     40 CFR part 61, subpart T (National Emission Standards for
Radon Emissions From the Disposal of Uranium Mill Tailings);
     40 CFR part 61, subpart W (National Emission Standards for
Radon Emissions From Operating Mill Tailings).
    In addition, the EPA regulations provide that we cannot delegate to
a state any of the Category II authorities set forth in 40 CFR
63.91(g)(2). These include the following provisions: Sec.  63.6(g),
Approval of Alternative Non-Opacity Standards; Sec.  63.6(h)(9),
Approval of Alternative Opacity Standards; Sec.  63.7(e)(2)(ii) and
(f), Approval of Major Alternatives to Test Methods; Sec.  63.8(f),
Approval of Major Alternatives to Monitoring; and Sec.  63.10(f),
Approval of Major Alternatives to Recordkeeping and Reporting. Also,
some Part 61 and Part 63 standards have certain provisions that cannot
be delegated to the states. Furthermore, no authorities are delegated
that require rulemaking in the Federal Register to implement, or where
Federal overview is the only way to ensure national consistency in the
application of the standards or requirements of CAA section 112.
Finally, this action does not delegate any authority under section
112(r), the accidental release program.

    All inquiries and requests concerning implementation and
enforcement of the excluded standards in Albuquerque-Bernalillo County
should be directed to the EPA Region 6 Office.
    In addition, this delegation to ABCAQCB to implement and enforce
certain NSPS and NESHAP authorities does not extend to sources or
activities located in Indian country, as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151.

VII. How will statutory and regulatory interpretations be made?

    In approving the NSPS delegation, ABCAQCB will obtain concurrence
from the EPA on any matter involving the interpretation of section 111
of the CAA or 40 CFR part 60 to the extent that implementation or
enforcement of these provisions have not been covered by prior EPA
determinations or guidance. See FR 52031 (December 20, 1989).
    In approving the NESHAP delegation, ABCAQCB will obtain concurrence
from the EPA on any matter involving the interpretation of section 112
of the CAA or 40 CFR parts 61 and 63 to the extent that implementation
or enforcement of these provisions have not been covered by prior EPA
determinations or guidance.

VIII. What authority does the EPA have?

    The EPA retains the right, as provided by CAA section 111(c)(2), to
enforce any applicable emission standard or requirement under section
111.
    We retain the right, as provided by CAA section 112(l)(7) and 40
CFR 63.90(d)(2), to enforce any applicable emission standard or
requirement under section 112. In addition, the EPA may enforce any
federally approved state rule, requirement, or program under 40 CFR
63.90(e) and 63.91(c)(1)(i). The EPA also has the authority to make
certain decisions under the General Provisions (subpart A) of parts 61
and 63. We are delegating ABCAQCB some of these authorities, and
retaining others, as explained in sections V and VI above. In addition,
the EPA may review and disapprove determinations made by state and
local authorities and subsequently require corrections. See 40 CFR
63.91(g)(1)(ii). EPA also has the authority to review ACBAQCB's
implementation and enforcement of approved rules or programs and to
withdraw approval if we find inadequate implementation or enforcement.
See 40 CFR 63.96.
    Furthermore, the EPA retains any authority in an individual
emission standard that may not be delegated according to provisions of
the standard. Also, listed in footnote 2 of the part 63 delegation
table at the end of this rule are the authorities that cannot be
delegated to any state or local agency which we therefore retain.
    Finally, the EPA retains the authorities stated in the initial
notice of delegation of authority. See 54 FR 52031 (December 20, 1989).

IX. What information must ABCAQCB provide to the EPA?

    ABCAQCB must provide any additional compliance related information
to the EPA, Region 6, Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance,
within 45 days of a request under 40 CFR 63.96(a). In receiving
delegation for specific General Provisions authorities, ABCAQCB must
submit to EPA Region 6, on a semi-annual basis, copies of
determinations issued under these authorities. See 40 CFR
63.91(g)(1)(ii). For 40 CFR part 63 standards, these determinations
include: Section 63.1, Applicability Determinations; Section 63.6(e),
Operation and Maintenance Requirements--Responsibility for Determining
Compliance; Section 63.6(f), Compliance with Non-Opacity Standards--
Responsibility for Determining Compliance; Section 63.6(h), Compliance
with Opacity and Visible Emissions Standards--Responsibility for
Determining Compliance; Sections 63.7(c)(2)(i) and (d), Approval of
Site-Specific Test Plans; Section 63.7(e)(2)(i), Approval of Minor
Alternatives to Test Methods; Section 63.7(e)(2)(ii) and (f), Approval
of Intermediate Alternatives to Test Methods; Section 63.7(e)(iii),
Approval of Shorter Sampling Times and Volumes When Necessitated by
Process Variables or Other Factors; Sections 63.7(e)(2)(iv), (h)(2),
and (h)(3), Waiver of Performance Testing; Sections 63.8(c)(1) and
(e)(1), Approval of Site-Specific Performance Evaluation (Monitoring)
Test Plans; Section 63.8(f), Approval of Minor Alternatives to
Monitoring; Section 63.8(f), Approval of Intermediate Alternatives to
Monitoring; Section 63.9 and 63.10, Approval of Adjustments to Time
Periods for Submitting Reports; Section 63.10(f), Approval of Minor
Alternatives to Recordkeeping and Reporting; and Section 63.7(a)(4),
Extension of Performance Test Deadline.

X. What is the EPA's oversight role?

    The EPA oversees the ABCAQCB's decisions to ensure the delegated
authorities are being adequately implemented and enforced. We will
integrate oversight of the delegated authorities into the existing
mechanisms and resources for oversight currently in place. If, during
oversight, we determine that the ABCAQCB made decisions that decreased
the stringency of the delegated standards, then the ABCAQCB shall be
required to take corrective actions and the source(s) affected by the
decisions will be notified. See 40 CFR 63.91(g)(1)(ii) and 63.91(b).
Our oversight authorities allow us to initiate withdrawal of the
program delegation if the corrective actions taken are insufficient.
See 51 FR 20648 (June 6, 1986).

XI. Should sources submit notices to the EPA or ABCAQCB?

    All the information required pursuant to the Federal NSPS and
NESHAP (40 CFR parts 60, 61 and 63) should be submitted by sources
located inside the boundaries of Bernalillo County and areas outside of
Indian country directly to the ABCAQCB at the following address: City
of Albuquerque, Albuquerque Environmental Health Department, P.O. Box
1293, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87103. The ABCAQCB is the primary point
of contact with respect to delegated NSPS and NESHAP authorities.
Sources do not need to send a copy to the EPA. The EPA Region 6 waives
the requirement that copies of notifications and reports for delegated
authorities be submitted to the EPA in addition to ABCAQCB in
accordance with 40 CFR 63.9(a)(4)(ii) and 63.10(a)(4)(ii).\2\ For those
authorities not delegated, sources must continue to submit all
appropriate information to the EPA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ This waiver only extends to the submission of copies of
notifications and reports; EPA does not waive the requirements in
delegated standards that require notifications and reports be
submitted to an electronic database (e.g., 40 CFR part 63, subpart
HHHHHHH).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

XII. How will unchanged authorities be delegated to ABCAQCB in the
future?

    In the future, ABCAQCB will only need to send a letter of request
to update their delegation to EPA, Region 6, for those NSPS which they
have adopted by reference. The EPA will amend the relevant portions of
the Code of Federal Regulations showing which NSPS standards have been
delegated to ABCAQCB. Also, in the future, ABCAQCB will only need to
send a letter of request for approval to EPA, Region 6, for those
NESHAP regulations that ABCAQCB has adopted by reference. The letter
must reference the previous up-front approval demonstration and
reaffirm that it still meets the up-front approval criteria. We will
respond in writing to the request stating that the request for
delegation is either granted or denied. A Federal Register action will
be published to

inform the public and affected sources of the delegation, indicate
where source notifications and reports should be sent, and to amend the
relevant portions of the Code of Federal Regulations showing which
NESHAP standards have been delegated to ABCAQCB.

XIII. Final Action

    The public was provided the opportunity to comment on the proposed
interim approval (60 FR 2570) and direct final interim approval (60 FR
2527) of ABCAQCB's Title V operating permit program, and mechanism for
delegation of section 112 standards as they apply to part 70 sources,
on January 10, 1995. On March 10, 1995, EPA published an informational
notice in the Federal Register informing the public that the direct
final interim approval would remain final. (60 FR 13046). In today's
action, the public is given the opportunity to comment on the approval
of ABCAQCB's request for delegation of authority to implement and
enforce certain section 112 standards for all sources (both part 70 and
non-part 70 sources) which have been adopted by reference into
ABCAQCB's regulations. However, the Agency views the approval of these
requests as a noncontroversial action and anticipates no adverse
comments. Therefore, EPA is publishing this rule without prior
proposal. However, in the ``Proposed Rules'' section of today's Federal
Register publication, EPA is publishing a separate document that will
serve as the proposal to approve the program and NESHAPs delegation of
authority described in this action if adverse comments are received.
This action will be effective December 15, 2020 without further notice
unless the Agency receives relevant adverse comments by December 15,
2020.
    If the EPA receives relevant adverse comments, we will publish a
timely withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public the rule
will not take effect with respect to the updated NESHAPs delegation. We
will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule based on
the proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment period
on this action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this
time. Please note that if we receive relevant adverse comment on an
amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may
be severed from the remainder of the rule, we may adopt as final those
provisions of the rule that are not the subject of a relevant adverse
comment.

XIV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this
action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and therefore is not
subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. For this
reason, this action is also not subject to Executive Order 13211,
``Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). This action
is not an Executive Order 13771 regulatory action because this action
is not significant under Executive Order 12866. This action merely
approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and imposes no
additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. Accordingly,
the Administrator certifies that this rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because this rule
approves pre-existing requirements under state law and does not impose
any additional enforceable duty beyond that required by state law, it
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). The EPA believes that this action does not
have disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects on minority populations, low-income populations and/or
indigenous peoples, as specified in Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629,
February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the delegation is not approved to apply in Indian country
located in the State, and the EPA notes that it will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
    This action also does not have federalism implications because it
does not have substantial direct effects on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government, as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August
10, 1999). This action merely approves a state request to receive
delegation of certain Federal standards and does not alter the
relationship or the distribution of power and responsibilities
established in the Clean Air Act. This rule also is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 ``Protection of Children from Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because
it is not economically significant.
    In reviewing delegation submissions, EPA's role is to approve
submissions, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
This action is not subject to the 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. This rule does not impose an information collection
burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other
required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by November 16, 2020. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this rule for the purposes of judicial review nor does
it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may be
filed and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or action.
This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its
requirements. See CAA section 307(b)(2).
