failed to perform nondiscretionary 

duties to review, and, if necessary, 

revise the emission factors for volatile 

organic compounds (‘‘VOC’’), carbon 

monoxide (‘‘CO’’), and nitrogen oxides 

(‘‘NOX’’) for flares, liquid storage tanks 

(‘‘tanks’’) and wastewater collection, 

treatment and storage systems 

(‘‘wastewater treatment systems’’) at 

least once every three years. The 

consent decree would require EPA to 

propose action by August 19, 2014, and 

take final action by December 19, 2014. 

DATES: Written comments on the 

proposed consent decree must be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Additional Information About the 

Proposed Consent Decree 

The proposed consent decree would 

settle Plaintiffs’ claims in a deadline 

suit alleging EPA failed to perform 

nondiscretionary duties pursuant to 

section 130 of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 7430, 

to review, and, if necessary, revise the 

emission factors for VOC, CO, and NOX

for flares, tanks and wastewater 

treatment systems at least once every 

three years. The proposed consent 

decree would require EPA, by August 

19, 2014, to review and either propose 

revisions to the VOC, CO and NOX

emission factors for flares, tanks and 

wastewater treatment systems under 

CAA section 130, or propose a 

determination under CAA section 130 

that revision of these emission factors is 

not necessary. The proposed consent 

decree would also require EPA, by 

December 19, 2014, to issue final 

revisions to the VOC, CO and NOX

emission factors for flares, tanks and 

wastewater treatment systems under 

CAA section 130, or issue a final 

determination under CAA section 130 

that revision of these emission factors 

for flares is not necessary. EPA will post 

each proposed revision or determination 

(or combination thereof), and each final 

revision or determination (or 

combination thereof), on its AP–42 Web 

site (located at http://www.epa.gov/ttn/

chief/ap42/) on the dates indicated 

above. In addition, EPA will provide a 

copy of each such action to Plaintiffs’ 

counsel within seven days of posting. 

Under the proposed consent decree, 

once EPA has met these obligations, and 

any claims by Plaintiffs for costs of 

litigation have been resolved pursuant 

to the process provided in the proposed 

consent decree, the court would dismiss 

the suit with prejudice. 

For a period of thirty (30) days 

following the date of publication of this 

notice, the Agency will receive written 

comments relating to the proposed 

consent decree from persons who were 

not named as parties or intervenors to 

the litigation in question. EPA or the 

Department of Justice may withdraw or 

withhold consent to the proposed 

consent decree if the comments disclose 

facts or considerations that indicate that 

such consent is inappropriate, 

improper, inadequate, or inconsistent 

with the requirements of the Act. Unless 

EPA or the Department of Justice 

determines that consent to the consent 

decree should be withdrawn, the terms 

of the decree will be affirmed. 

II. Additional Information About 

Commenting on the Proposed Consent 

Decree

decree?

An electronic version of the public 

docket is available through 

www.regulations.gov. You may use the 

www.regulations.gov to submit or view 

public comments, access the index 

listing of the contents of the official 

public docket, and to access those 

documents in the public docket that are 

available electronically. Once in the 

system, key in the appropriate docket 

identification number then select 

‘‘search’’. 

It is important to note that EPA’s 

policy is that public comments, whether 

submitted electronically or in paper, 

will be made available for public 

viewing online at www.regulations.gov 

without change, unless the comment 

contains copyrighted material, CBI, or 

other information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Information 

claimed as CBI and other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute 

is not included in the official public 

docket or in the electronic public 

docket. EPA’s policy is that copyrighted 

material, including copyrighted material 

contained in a public comment, will not 

be placed in EPA’s electronic public 

docket but will be available only in 

printed, paper form in the official public 

docket. Although not all docket 

materials may be available 

electronically, you may still access any 

of the publicly available docket 

materials through the EPA Docket 

Center. 

B. How and to whom do I submit 

comments? 

You may submit comments as 

provided in the ADDRESSES section. 

Please ensure that your comments are 

submitted within the specified comment 

period. Comments received after the 

close of the comment period will be 

marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not required to 

consider these late comments. 

If you submit an electronic comment, 

EPA recommends that you include your 

name, mailing address, and an email 

address or other contact information in 

the body of your comment and with any 

disk or CD ROM you submit. This 

ensures that you can be identified as the 

submitter of the comment and allows 

EPA to contact you in case EPA cannot 

read your comment due to technical 

difficulties or needs further information 

on the substance of your comment. Any 

identifying or contact information 

provided in the body of a comment will 

be included as part of the comment that 

is placed in the official public docket, 

and made available in EPA’s electronic 

public docket. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. 

Use of the www.regulations.gov Web 

site to submit comments to EPA 

electronically is EPA’s preferred method 

for receiving comments. The electronic 

public docket system is an ‘‘anonymous 

access’’ system, which means EPA will 

not know your identity, email address, 

or other contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

In contrast to EPA’s electronic public 

docket, EPA’s electronic mail (email) 

system is not an ‘‘anonymous access’’ 

system. If you send an email comment 

directly to the Docket without going 

through www.regulations.gov, your 

email address is automatically captured 

and included as part of the comment 

that is placed in the official public 

docket, and made available in EPA’s 

electronic public docket.
