complaint alleging that EPA failed to 

promulgate regional haze federal 

implementation plans (FIPs) or approve 

regional haze state implementation

complaint further alleges that EPA has

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Additional Information About the 

Proposed Consent Decree 

Under section 110(c) of the CAA, EPA 

has a mandatory duty to promulgate a 

federal implementation plan (‘‘FIP’’) 

within two years of a finding that a state 

has failed to make a required state 

implementation plan (‘‘SIP’’) submittal. 

EPA is not required to promulgate a FIP, 

however, if the state submits the 

required SIP and EPA approves the plan 

within the two years of EPA’s finding. 

On January 15, 2009, EPA found that 37 

states, the District of Columbia, and the 

U.S. Virgin Islands had failed to submit 

CAA SIPs for improving visibility in 

mandatory Federal Class I areas. 

Where a state has submitted a SIP and 

the SIP has been deemed complete, 

section 110(k)(2) of the CAA requires 

EPA to act on the SIP within twelve 

months. EPA has received regional haze 

SIP submissions from a number of states 

but has not yet taken action on these 

SIPs. 

The proposed consent decree would 

resolve a deadline suit filed by Plaintiffs 

for EPA to take action on a number of 

regional haze SIPs. The proposed 

consent decree would address EPA’s 

failure to promulgate regional haze FIPs 


jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 232 / Friday, December 2, 2011 / Notices 75545 

or approve regional haze SIPs for 34 of 

the states that the Agency found on 

January 15, 2009 had failed to submit 

SIPs addressing the requirements of the 

regional haze program. These 34 states 

are Alaska, California, Connecticut, 

District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, 

Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, 

Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, 

Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, 

New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, 

North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, 

Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South 

Dakota, Texas, Vermont, U.S. Virgin 

Islands, Virginia, Washington, and 

Wisconsin. The proposed consent 

decree would also address EPA’s failure 

to act on ten regional haze SIPs that 

have been submitted to EPA and 

deemed complete. These SIPs were 

submitted by Alabama, Albuquerque, 

NM, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, 

Missouri, North Carolina, South 

Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia. 

The proposed consent decree 

establishes proposed and final 

promulgation deadlines for EPA for 

meeting these obligations. It further 

requires that, within ten (10) business 

days of signing a proposed or final 

rulemaking, EPA shall deliver a notice 

of such rulemaking to the Office of the 

Federal Register for prompt publication 

and shall provide a copy of the notice 

to Plaintiffs within five (5) days. After 

EPA fulfills its obligations under the 

proposed consent decree, EPA may 

move to have this decree terminated. 

For a period of thirty (30) days 

following the date of publication of this 

notice, the Agency will accept 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 this consent 

decree should be withdrawn, the terms 

of the proposed consent decree will be 

affirmed. 

II. Additional Information About 

Commenting on the Proposed Consent 

Decree 

A. How can I get a copy of the consent 

decree? 

The official public docket for this 

action (identified by Docket ID No. 

EPA–HQ–OGC–2011–0929) contains a 

copy of the proposed consent decree. 

The official public docket is available 

for public viewing at the Office of 

Environmental Information (OEI) Docket 

in the EPA Docket Center, EPA West, 

Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. 

NW., Washington, DC. The EPA Docket 

Center Public Reading Room is open 

from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday 

through Friday, excluding legal 

holidays. The telephone number for the 

Public Reading Room is (202) 566–1744, 

and the telephone number for the OEI 

Docket is (202) 566–1752. 

An electronic version of the public 

docket is available through http://www.

regulations.gov. You may use http://

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 http://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 http://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 http://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.
