I. Background The background for this action is discussed in detail in our July 10, 2020, proposal 85 FR 41484. In that document we proposed to accept the HMIWI negative declarations from the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality ADEQ, Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality LDEQ, Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality ODEQ, New Mexico Environment Department NMED, and City of Albuquerque Environmental Health Department AEHD, and to amend the Code of Federal Regulations CFR in accordance with the requirements of the CAA. In this rulemaking, we are only taking final action on the HMIWI negative declaration letters from Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, and Albuquerque-Bernalillo County, New Mexico, and amending the CFR
accordingly. We will take final action on the HMIWI negative declaration submitted by ODEQ for Oklahoma in a future, separate rulemaking.
II. Response to Comments We received two comments on our proposal. We have determined that one comment has no relevance to the subject of this rulemaking and no further response is required. The other comment recommended that a state plan with the more stringent controls and results in the cleanest air should be adopted. As explained in our proposal, the negative declarations received reflect the absence of any sources subject to the standards of performance in the HMIWI Emission Guidelines, codified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart Ce, and therefore a plan is not required. If any sources within the stated jurisdictions are later identified as subject to the requirements of 40 CFR
part 60, subpart Ce, then such sources would be subject to the federal plan and the associated compliance schedule, unless and until the EPA approves a state plan for those sources.
III. Final Action The EPA is amending 40 CFR part 62
to reflect receipt of the negative declaration letters from ADEQ, LDEQ,

NMED and AEHD certifying that there are no existing HMIWI subject to 40 CFR
part 60, subpart Ce, in their respective jurisdictions in accordance with 40 CFR
60.23b, 40 CFR 62.06, and sections 111d and 129 of the CAA. If a designated facility i.e., existing HMIWI
is later found within the aforementioned jurisdictions after publication of a final action, then the overlooked facility will become subject to the requirements of the federal plan for that designated facility, including the compliance schedule. The federal plan will no longer apply if we subsequently receive and approve the section 111d/129 plan from the jurisdiction with the overlooked facility.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a CAA section 111d/129 submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable Federal regulations. 42
U.S.C. 7411d; 42 U.S.C. 7429; 40 CFR
part 60, subparts B and Ce; and 40 CFR
part 62, subpart A. With regard to negative declarations for designated facilities received by the EPA from states, the EPAs role is to notify the public of the receipt of such negative declarations and revise 40 CFR part 62
accordingly. For that reason, this action:
