Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
 
The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) issued a proposed decision on May 31, 2012, relating to the State of New Mexico's plan to address regional haze, leaving in place a Federal requirement for best available retrofit technology for the San Juan Generating Station (“SJGS”). Public Service Company of New Mexico (“PNM”), a wholly owned subsidiary of PNM Resources, Inc. (the “Company”), is the operator and 46.3% owner of SJGS.
In July 2011, the State submitted its determination to address regional haze at SJGS through technology with a total plant cost estimated to be $77 million. In August 2011, EPA issued its final action requiring technology with a total plant cost estimated by the Company to be at least $750 million. EPA's May 31, 2012 proposed decision on the State plan, which does not include a stay of the Federal plan, recommends approval of most elements of the State plan with the exception of the Federal requirement to install the more expensive technology at SJGS. However, the proposed decision includes language that would allow for reconsideration of the State's proposal if the State comes back with a different alternative.
In April, the Governor of New Mexico sent a letter to the EPA stating that she would like to create an environment for productive discussions among the stakeholders in this matter. To do this, the Governor asked the EPA to grant a 90-day stay, which would delay the September 2016 compliance deadline for SJGS by that amount of time.
PNM continues to pursue its appeal of the EPA mandate in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.
