Proposed Consent Decree, Clean Air 

Act Citizen Suit 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed consent 

decree; request for public comment. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with section 

113(g) of the Clean Air Act, as amended 

(‘‘CAA’’ or the ‘‘Act’’), notice is hereby 

given of a proposed consent decree to 

address a lawsuit filed by Sierra Club in 

the United States District Court for the 

District of Columbia: Sierra Club v. 

McCarthy, Case No. 1:14–cv–00833– 

ESH (D.D.C.). On May 20, 2014, Plaintiff 

filed a complaint which alleged that 

Gina McCarthy, in her official capacity 

as Administrator of the United States 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(‘‘EPA’’), failed to perform her 

nondiscretionary duty to take action on 

a number of Texas state implementation 

plan (‘‘SIP’’) submissions for the Dallas/ 

Ft. Worth nonattainment area to address 

the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS within 

one year of the date the submissions 

were deemed complete by operation of 

law. These SIP submissions include a 

demonstration of attainment, reasonably 

available control technology (‘‘RACT’’) 

requirements for volatile organic 

compounds (‘‘VOCs’’) and nitrogen 

oxides (‘‘NOX’’), and provisions for 

reasonable further progress (‘‘RFP’’) 

toward attainment. Plaintiff’s complaint 

also alleged that the Administrator 

failed to perform a nondiscretionary 

duty to determine whether the Dallas/

Ft. Worth area attained the 1997 8-hour 

ozone NAAQS by the June 15, 2013 

attainment date and to reclassify the 

area accordingly. The proposed consent 

decree would establish deadlines for 

EPA to take these actions. 

DATES: Written comments on the 

proposed consent decree must be 

received by December 8, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Additional Information About the 

Proposed Consent Decree 

The proposed consent decree would 

resolve a lawsuit filed by Sierra Club 

seeking to compel the Administrator to 

take action under CAA sections 110(k), 

179(c)(1)–(2) and 181(b)(2)(A)–(B). 

Under the terms of the proposed 

consent decree, EPA would agree to sign 

one or more notices of final rulemaking 

to approve or disapprove, in whole or in 

part, the Texas SIP submissions for the 

Dallas/Ft. Worth 1997 8-hour ozone 

nonattainment area identified in 

Attachment A of the consent decree, 

including: NOX and VOC RACT 

provisions by July 31, 2015; an ozone 

attainment demonstration by August 31, 

2015; and the remaining SIP 

submissions identified by Plaintiff, 

including RFP provisions, by December 

15, 2014. The proposed consent decree 

also provides that not later than fifteen 

days after the entry of the consent 

decree, EPA would agree to sign a notice 

containing the Administrator’s proposed 

determination of whether Dallas/Ft. 

Worth attained the 1997 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS by the applicable attainment 

date. The proposed consent decree 

further provides that not later than 180 

days after publication of the proposed 

determination of whether Dallas/Ft. 

Worth attained the 1997 ozone NAAQS 

by the applicable attainment date, EPA 

would agree to sign a notice containing 

the Administrator’s final determination 

of whether Dallas/Ft. Worth attained by 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 216 / Friday, November 7, 2014 / Notices 66369 

the applicable attainment date. EPA 

would not be obligated to make a final 

determination of whether Dallas/Ft. 

Worth attained the 1997 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS if the area is redesignated to 

attainment or if a final rulemaking 

revoking the 1997 ozone NAAQS 

becomes effective. Under the terms of 

the proposed consent decree, EPA will 

deliver notice of the above actions to the 

Office of the Federal Register for review 

and publication within 3 business days 

of issuance or signature. In addition, the 

proposed consent decree indicates that 

EPA agrees that Sierra Club is entitled 

to recover its costs of litigation pursuant 

to 42. U.S.C. 7604(d) for work incurred 

prior to the lodging of the consent 

decree. 

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 are 

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 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 EPA–HQ–OGC– 

2014–0815) 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 

www.regulations.gov. You may use 

www.regulations.gov to submit or view 

public comments, access the index 

listing of the contents of the official 

public docket, and 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, 

confidential business information (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.
