The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve portions of two revisions to the New Mexico SIP for the permitting of PM<INF>2.5</INF> emissions submitted on May 23, 2011, and August 6, 2014. Together, these submittals revise the New Mexico PSD program to be consistent with the federal PSD regulations regarding the use of a significant impact level (SIL) or significant monitoring concentration (SMC) for PM<INF>2.5</INF> emissions. We are proposing to approve these SIP revisions to regulate PM<INF>2.5</INF> emissions in accordance with requirements of section 110 and part C of the Clean Air Act.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve portions of two revisions to the New Mexico SIP for the 
permitting of PM2.5 emissions submitted on May 23, 2011, and 
August 6, 2014. Together, these submittals revise the New Mexico PSD 
program to be consistent with the federal PSD regulations regarding the 
use of a significant impact level (SIL) or significant monitoring 
concentration (SMC) for PM2.5 emissions. We are proposing to 
approve these SIP revisions to regulate PM2.5 emissions in

Act.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before August 13, 2015.

Section (6PD-R), Environmental Protection Agency, 1445 Ross Avenue, 
Ste. 1200, Dallas, TX 75202-2733. Comments may also be submitted

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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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