    SUMMARY: This action approves the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
    revisions for Board composition and conflict of interest disclosure 
    requirements submitted both by the State of New Mexico and by 
    Albuquerque/Bernalillo County, NM. The SIP revisions were submitted by 
    the County and the State to satisfy the Federal mandate, found in 
    section 128 of the Federal Clean Air Act (the Act), and in response to 
    a SIP call letter to the Governor of New Mexico dated July 19, 1989, 
    requiring a cure to identified SIP deficiencies concerning State 
    Boards.
        The revisions were submitted by the Governor to EPA on April 20 and 
    July 16, 1990, for the State portion, and on November 16, 1990, for the 
    Albuquerque/Bernalillo County portion. Supplemental information was 
    submitted for Albuquerque/Bernalillo County on December 18, 1990, 
    October 21, 1991, and November 22, 1991. These revisions correct 
    deficiencies for the New Mexico Environmental Improvement Board (NMEIB) 
    and the Albuquerque/Bernalillo County Air Quality Board in order to 
    comply with section 128 of the Act. The EPA approval of these New 
    Mexico SIP revisions make the revisions federally enforceable. 
    Subsequent correspondence in February and March 1993 addressed 
    eligibility for ``public interest'' Board member positions.
    
    DATES: This action is effective on August 2, 1999, without further 
    notice, unless EPA receives adverse comment by July 1, 1999. If we 
    receive such comment, we will publish a timely withdrawal in the 
    Federal Register

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    
    I. Background
    
        The Act, section 128(a) titled--State Boards, requires each SIP to 
    contain provisions which ensure that: (1) any board or body which 
    approves permits or enforcement orders under the Act shall have at 
    least a majority of members who represent the public interest and do 
    not derive any significant portion of their income from persons subject 
    to permits or enforcement orders under the Act, and (2) any potential 
    conflicts of interest by members of such board or body, or the head of 
    an executive agency with similar powers, be adequately disclosed.
        The New Mexico Air Quality Control Act (section 74-2-4) authorizes 
    Albuquerque/Bernalillo County to locally administer and enforce the 
    State Air Quality Control Act by providing for a local air quality 
    control program. Thus, State law views Albuquerque/Bernalillo County 
    and the remainder of the State of New Mexico as distinct air quality 
    control entities. Therefore, each entity is required to submit its own 
    SIP revision in order to completely satisfy the requirements of section 
    128(a) of the Clean Air Act for the entire State of New Mexico.
    
    A. SIP Call
    
        On July 19, 1989, EPA issued a SIP call to the Governor of New 
    Mexico providing formal notice of finding the SIP to be substantially 
    inadequate. The SIP call required New Mexico (i.e., the NMEIB and the 
    joint Albuquerque/Bernalillo County Air Quality Board) to take curative 
    steps to comply with section 128 of the Act within a one-year time 
    period or a corrective Federal Implemention Plan could be imposed to 
    remedy the deficiencies.
        Specifically, the SIP call required New Mexico to submit to EPA a 
    schedule for the development and submittal of the necessary SIP 
    revisions to correct the SIP deficiencies, including any necessary 
    legislation needed to satisfy section 128 requirements (which would be 
    adopted during the 1990 legislative session).
    
    B. State Submittal
    
    1. State Portion
        In response to the July 1989 SIP call, on October 6, 1989, the 
    State of New Mexico sent draft statutory changes of the New Mexico Air 
    Quality Control Act (NMAQCA) to EPA for review and comment in 
    anticipation of a 30-day legislative session to be held in early 1990. 
    These proposed changes were intended to meet the section 128(a)(1) 
    requirements of the Act for the NMEIB, by removing permitting and 
    enforcement jurisdiction from the Board and placing it under the 
    purview of the NMEID Director. This concept is acceptable under Federal 
    law. The EPA provided comments on the draft statutory changes on 
    December 4, 1989. In February 1990, the New Mexico State Legislature 
    passed House Bill 404aa which contained language that satisfied the 
    requirements of section 128(a)(1) of the Act. This bill was signed by 
    the Governor and became immediately effective on February 28, 1990.
        On April 20, 1990, the Governor submitted a SIP revision to EPA 
    addressing the State portion of the State Board requirements. The 
    submittal was a copy of enacted House Bill (H.B.) 404aa which amended 
    the NMAQCA. This submittal was in response to the July 19, 1989, SIP 
    call. House Bill 404aa adopted changes which removed permits and 
    enforcement orders from the jurisdiction of the board. In addition, it 
    required a majority of the board members to represent the public 
    interest, and not derive any significant portion of their income from 
    persons subject to (or who appear before the board on) issues related 
    to the Act or the NMAQCA.
        After a subsequent review of the SIP revision submittal, EPA 
    determined on June 18, 1990, that the April 1990 State submittal was 
    incomplete and requested a formal State submittal of the New Mexico 
    Conflict of Interest Act and the NMEIB Code of Conduct. Similar 
    information was also required for the City of Albuquerque/Bernalillo 
    County portion of the State's submittal (e.g., ordinances, and any 
    conflict of interest applicable provisions). On July 16, 1990, the 
    Governor formally submitted the State's Conflict of Interest Act and 
    the NMEIB Code of Conduct as an addendum to the April 1990 submittal to 
    meet the section 128(a)(2) requirements of the Act. As indicated in 
    EPA's letter dated August 9, 1990, this submittal completed the State's 
    portion of the section 128(a) requirements. Under the State's Conflict 
    of Interest Act, the members of the board and the NMEID Director are 
    required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest. The NMEIB 
    Code of Conduct prescribes standards of conduct for members of the 
    NMEIB for potential conflict of interest situations. The Code is 
    consistent with and intended to supplement the requirements of the 
    State's Conflict of Interest Act, section 10-16-1 to 10-16-16 NMSA 
    1978. The EPA's earlier review of H.B. 404aa determined that it is 
    acceptable under Federal law to remove permitting and enforcement 
    jurisdiction from the NMEIB and to place it under the purview of the 
    NMEID Director.
    2. Albuquerque/Bernalillo County Portion
        The initial Governor's SIP revision submittal for the City of 
    Albuquerque/Bernalillo County occurred on November 16, 1990, via a 
    letter to EPA and contains a SIP narrative and supporting attachments. 
    It incorporates amendments to local ordinances correcting the criteria 
    by which board members are appointed and also addresses Conflict of 
    Interest. Supplemental information was submitted to EPA on December 18, 
    1990. The submittal included the following documents:
        a. SIP narrative statement regarding State Boards, including three 
    (3) attachments as follows:
        1. City and County Metropolitan Environmental Health Advisory Board 
    Ordinances as amended.
        2. City and County Air Quality Control Board Ordinances.
        3. The City Attorney's compilation of materials concerning City and 
    County Conflict of Interest, and Code of Conduct.
    
    [[Page 29237]]
    
        b. Supporting documents which are necessary for processing and 
    approving this SIP submittal (e.g., proof of September 9, 1990, legal 
    notice of public hearing; and public hearing transcript of October 10, 
    1990).
        This submittal was determined by EPA to be incomplete on June 21, 
    1991, pending a satisfactory resolution of prior EPA comments on the 
    draft SIP supplement pertaining to State Boards by the City of 
    Albuquerque's, Air Pollution Control Division. Specifically, these 
    comments concerned the belief that critical legal flaws or deficiencies 
    may exist, with respect to State Board requirements, in the 
    Albuquerque/Bernalillo County addendum SIP revision. Supplemental 
    information was submitted to EPA on October 21, 1991. A legal opinion 
    by the Albuquerque City Attorney dated November 22, 1991, 
    satisfactorily addressed EPA concerns as expressed in the June 21, 1991 
    letter. After a review of the addendum SIP revision, supplemental 
    information and this legal opinion, EPA determined on December 17, 
    1991, that both the State portion and the City of Albuquerque/
    Bernalillo County portion of the Governor's submittal were complete.
    
    II. Analysis of State Submission
    
    A. General
    
        The EPA has reviewed the Governor's submittals (both portions) and 
    developed a Technical Support Document (TSD). The TSD concludes that 
    the New Mexico Governor's SIP revisions (both portions) meet all of the 
    requirements of section 128 of the Act. This TSD is available for 
    inspection by interested parties during normal business hours at the 
    EPA Region 6 Office.
    
    B. Public Interest Membership
    
        The EPA received written correspondence dated July 4, 1990, from an 
    interested party concerning the eligibility for ``public interest'' 
    Board member positions. As indicated in a reply letter dated November 
    27, 1990, EPA interprets the New Mexico Air Quality Control Act as 
    follows: If a person appears before the Board on any matter(s), and 
    that person is not paid for his or her appearance(s), or if he or she 
    is paid, and that payment(s) is not a significant portion of his or her 
    income, then that person can still qualify to be a public interest 
    Board member. The EPA does not read the State statute to preclude 
    persons from being eligible for public interest Board member positions 
    if they have ever appeared before the Board on any matter(s). The 
    disqualifying link is whether that appearance(s) was a paid one and 
    whether the payment, if any, was a significant portion of one's annual 
    income. The State has agreed with this interpretation as well.
        In subsequent correspondence with the New Mexico Environment 
    Department (previously the NMEID) dated March 19, 1993, EPA further 
    defined this issue by stating: Persons who are designated to either 
    represent nonprofit environmental protection organizations or represent 
    municipal and county governments, do not represent the public interest. 
    The rationale behind this judgement is that each group could 
    potentially pursue their own agenda and thus, would not represent the 
    public interest. Specifically, professional public interest advocates 
    (e.g., paid representatives) do not qualify for the ``public interest'' 
    majority requirements. However, mere membership in the organizations 
    would not be disqualifying.
        In February and March 1993, the New Mexico Legislature considered 
    H.B. 552 which proposed to increase the size of the Environmental 
    Improvement Board from five to seven members. Specifically, the House 
    Bill proposed that one new member would represent a non-profit 
    environmental protection organization, and the other member would 
    represent municipal (and county) governments. On March 2, 1993, EPA 
    provided comments on this proposed bill and determined that it would 
    throw the NMEIB public interest membership off balance, and if enacted, 
    the language would be unapprovable under the Act, section 128. 
    Likewise, the New Mexico Environment Department analyzed this bill and 
    recommended not adopting the bill on the grounds that it would expose 
    the NMEIB to membership composition problems. Subsequently, the New 
    Mexico Legislature did not pass the flawed H.B. 552.
    
    C. Procedural Background
    
        The Act requires States to observe certain procedural requirements 
    in developing implementation plans for submission to EPA. Section 
    110(a)(2) of the Act provides that each implementation plan submitted 
    by a State must be adopted after reasonable notice and public hearing. 
    See also section 110(l) of the Act. Also, EPA must determine whether a 
    submittal is complete, and therefore warrants further EPA review and 
    action (see section 110(k)(1) and 57 FR 13565). The EPA's completeness 
    criteria for SIP submittals are set out at 40 CFR part 51, Appendix V 
    (1991), as amended by 56 FR 42216 (August 26, 1991). The EPA attempts 
    to make completeness determinations within 60 days of receiving a 
    submission. However, a submittal is deemed complete by operation of law 
    if a completeness determination is not made by EPA six months after 
    receipt of the submission.
        Regarding the State portion of the SIP submittal (which includes 
    New Mexico H.B. 404aa, and New Mexico Conflict of Interest Act) for 
    State Boards, it is EPA's position that a public hearing is not 
    required for State legislative statutes. The EPA views the State 
    legislative process as fully satisfying the procedural requirements of 
    40 CFR 51.102 for adoption and submittal of SIP revisions.
        After providing adequate 30 day public notice, Albuquerque/ 
    Bernalillo County held a public hearing on October 10, 1990, to 
    entertain public comment on proposed revisions to its portion of the 
    SIP submittal regarding State Boards. No adverse public comments were 
    received at the public hearing. Following the public hearing and 
    consideration of minor public comments, the SIP revision was adopted by 
    the Albuquerque/Bernalillo County Air Quality Control Board on October 
    10, 1990. The Albuquerque/Bernalillo County portion of the SIP revision 
    was then submitted by the Governor to EPA by cover letter dated 
    November 16, 1990. Supplemental information was submitted on December 
    18, 1990, October 21, 1991, and November 22, 1991.
        The SIP revision was reviewed by EPA to determine completeness 
    shortly after its submittal, in accordance with the completeness 
    criteria referenced above. A letter dated December 17, 1991, was 
    forwarded to the Governor indicating the completeness of the submittal 
    and the next steps to be taken in the review process.
    
    III. Final Action
    
        By this action, EPA is approving revisions to the New Mexico SIP 
    regarding State Boards for both the State of New Mexico and for 
    Albuquerque/Bernalillo County, NM. The SIP revisions were submitted by 
    the State to satisfy the Federal mandate, found in section 128 of the 
    Act concerning State Board composition and conflict of interest 
    provisions. The EPA has reviewed these revisions to the New Mexico SIP 
    and is approving them as submitted.
        The EPA is publishing this action without prior proposal because we 
    view this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipate no adverse 
    comments. However, in the ``Proposed Rules'' section of today's Federal 
    Register publication, we are publishing a
    
    [[Page 29238]]
    
    separate document that will serve as the proposal to approve the SIP 
    revision if adverse comments are filed. This action will be effective 
    on August 2, 1999, without further notice unless we receive adverse 
    comment by July 1, 1999.
        If EPA receives adverse comment, we will publish a timely 
    withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that the rule 
    will not take effect. We will address all public comments in a 
    subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. We will not institute 
    a second comment period on this action. Any parties interested in 
    commenting on this action must do so at this time. If no such comments 
    are received, the public is advised that this action will be effective 
    August 2, 1999, and no further action will be taken on the proposed 
    rule.
        The EPA has reviewed this request for revision of the federally-
    approved SIP for conformance with the provisions of the 1990 Clean Air 
    Act Amendments enacted on November 15, 1990. The EPA has determined 
    that this action conforms with those requirements regardless of the 
    fact that the submittal preceded the date of enactment. Nothing in this 
    action should be construed as permitting or allowing or establishing a 
    precedent for any future request for revision to any SIP. Each request 
    for revision to the SIP shall be considered separately in light of 
    specific technical, economic, and environmental factors and in relation 
    to relevant statutory and regulatory requirements.
    
    IV. Administrative Requirements
    
    A. Executive Order (E.O.) 12866
    
        The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted this 
    regulatory action from E.O. 12866, entitled ``Regulatory Planning and 
    Review.''
    
    B. Executive Order 12875
    
        Under E.O. 12875, EPA may not issue a regulation that is not 
    required by statute and that creates a mandate upon a State, local or 
    tribal government, unless the Federal government provides the funds 
    necessary to pay the direct compliance costs incurred by those 
    governments, or EPA consults with those governments. If EPA complies by 
    consulting, E.O. 12875 requires EPA to provide to the OMB a description 
    of the extent of EPA's prior consultation with representatives of 
    affected State, local and tribal governments, the nature of their 
    concerns, copies of any written communications from the governments, 
    and a statement supporting the need to issue the regulation. In 
    addition, E.O. 12875 requires EPA to develop an effective process 
    permitting elected officials and other representatives of state, local, 
    and tribal governments ``to provide meaningful and timely input in the 
    development of regulatory proposals containing significant unfunded 
    mandates.''
        Today's rule does not create a mandate on State, local, or tribal 
    governments. The rule does not impose any enforceable rules on any of 
    these entities. Accordingly, the requirements of section 1(a) of E.O. 
    12875 do not apply to this rule.
    
    C. Executive Order 13045
    
        Executive Order 13045, entitled ``Protection of Children from 
    Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 
    1997), applies to any rule that EPA determines: (1) is ``economically 
    significant'' as defined under E.O. 12866, and (2) the environmental 
    health or safety risk addressed by the rule has a disproportionate 
    effect on children. If the regulatory action meets both criteria, the 
    Agency must evaluate the environmental health or safety effects of the 
    planned rule on children and explain why the planned regulation is 
    preferable to other potentially effective and reasonably feasible 
    alternatives considered by the Agency.
        The EPA interprets E.O. 13045 as applying only to those regulatory 
    actions that are based on health or safety risks, such that the 
    analysis required under section 5-501 of the Order has the potential to 
    influence the regulation. This final rule is not subject to E.O. 13045 
    because it approves a State program.
    
    D. Executive Order 13084
    
        Under E.O. 13084, EPA may not issue a regulation that is not 
    required by statute, that significantly or uniquely affects the 
    communities of Indian tribal governments, and that imposes substantial 
    direct compliance costs on those communities, unless the Federal 
    government provides the funds necessary to pay the direct compliance 
    costs incurred by the tribal governments, or EPA consults with those 
    governments. If EPA complies by consulting, E.O. 13084 requires EPA to 
    provide to the OMB, in a separately identified section of the preamble 
    to the rule, a description of the extent of EPA's prior consultation 
    with representatives of affected tribal governments, a summary of the 
    nature of their concerns, and a statement supporting the need to issue 
    the regulation. In addition, E.O. 13084 requires EPA to develop an 
    effective process permitting elected officials and other 
    representatives of Indian tribal governments ``to provide meaningful 
    and timely input in the development of regulatory policies on matters 
    that significantly or uniquely affect their communities.''
        Today's rule does not significantly or uniquely affect the 
    communities of Indian tribal governments. This action does not involve 
    or impose any requirements that affect Indian Tribes. Accordingly, the 
    requirements of section 3(b) of E.O. 13084 do not apply to this rule.
    
    E. Regulatory Flexibility Act
    
        The Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 600 et seq., generally 
    requires an agency to conduct a regulatory flexibility analysis of any 
    rule subject to notice and comment rulemaking requirements unless the 
    agency certifies that the rule will not have a significant economic 
    impact on a substantial number of small entities. Small entities 
    include small businesses, small not-for-profit enterprises, and small 
    governmental jurisdictions. This final rule will not have a significant 
    impact on a substantial number of small entities because SIP approvals 
    under section 110 and subchapter I, part D of the Act do not create any 
    new requirements but simply approve requirements that the State is 
    already imposing. Therefore, because the Federal SIP approval does not 
    create any new requirements, I certify that this action will not have a 
    significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 
    Moreover, due to the nature of the Federal-State relationship under the 
    Act, preparation of a flexibility analysis would constitute Federal 
    inquiry into the economic reasonableness of state action. The Act 
    forbids EPA to base its actions concerning SIPs on such grounds. See 
    Union Electric Co., v. U.S. EPA, 427 U.S. 246, 255-66 (1976); 42 U.S.C. 
    7410(a)(2).
    
    F. Unfunded Mandates
    
        Under section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995, 
    signed into law on March 22, 1995, EPA must prepare a budgetary impact 
    statement to accompany any proposed or final rule that includes a 
    Federal mandate that may result in estimated annual costs to State, 
    local, or tribal governments in the aggregate; or to private sector, of 
    $100 million or more. Under section 205, EPA must select the most cost-
    effective and least burdensome alternative that achieves the objectives 
    of the rule and is consistent with statutory requirements. Section 203 
    requires EPA to establish a plan for informing and advising any small 
    governments that may be significantly or uniquely impacted by the rule.
    
    [[Page 29239]]
    
        The EPA has determined that the approval action promulgated does 
    not include a Federal mandate that may result in estimated annual costs 
    of $100 million or more to either State, local, or tribal governments 
    in the aggregate, or to the private sector. This Federal action 
    approves preexisting requirements under State or local law, and imposes 
    no new requirements. Accordingly, no additional costs to State, local, 
    or tribal governments, or to the private sector, result from this 
    action.
    
    G. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General
    
        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. The 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 can 
    not take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal 
    Register. This rule is not a ``major'' rule as defined by 5 U.S.C. 
    804(2). This rule will be effective August 2, 1999.
    
    H. Petitions for Judicial Review
    
        Under section 307(b)(1) of the Act, petitions for judicial review 
    of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for 
    the appropriate circuit by August 2, 1999. 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 section 307(b)(2).)
