ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

[FRL–9485–8] 

Proposed Settlement Agreement 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of proposed settlement 

agreement; request for public comment. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with section 

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

(‘‘Act’’), 42 U.S.C. 7413(g), notice is 

hereby given of a proposed settlement 

agreement to address a lawsuit filed by 

the Engine Manufacturers Association, 

in the United States Court of Appeals 

for the District of Columbia Circuit: 

Engine Manufacturers Association v. 

EPA, No. 10–1331 (DC Cir.). Petitioners 

filed a petition for review of an EPA rule 

that revised the National Emission 

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 

for Reciprocating Internal Combustion 

Engines (the RICE NESHAP). Under the 

terms of the proposed settlement 

agreement, EPA anticipates that, by June 

15, 2012, the Agency will sign a notice 

of proposed rulemaking that includes a 

proposal to revise the RICE NESHAP to 

allow owners and operators of sparkignition 4-stroke rich burn engines that 

meet an emission standard requiring a 

76 percent or greater reduction of the 

pollutant formaldehyde, to prove 

compliance with the standard based on 

approved testing that shows at least a 

thirty percent reduction in total 

hydrocarbons and that, by March 14, 

2013, the Administrator of EPA will 

sign a final action on this proposal, 

which may include signature of a final 

rule by the Administrator. If EPA 

promulgates in final form an 

amendment to the RICE NESHAP that 

includes changes that are substantially 

the same substance as that set forth in 

the settlement agreement, then EMA 

shall promptly file a stipulation of 

dismissal of No. 10–1331. 

DATES: Written comments on the 

proposed settlement agreement must be 

received by December 2, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Additional Information About the 

Proposed Settlement Agreement 

This proposed settlement agreement 

would potentially resolve a petition for 

judicial review filed by Engine 

Manufacturers Association (EMA) for 

review of a rule promulgating standards 

that revised the National Emission 

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 

for Reciprocating Internal Combustion 

Engines (the RICE NESHAP), 75 FR 

51570 (August 20, 2010). The RICE 

NESHAP requires certain subcategories 

of four-stroke rich burn spark-ignition 

RICE to meet an emission standard 

requiring a 76 percent or greater 

reduction of the pollutant 

formaldehyde. 

EMA filed a petition for review 

regarding these provisions. Discussions 

with EMA indicate that compliance 

with the standard can be proven based 

on approved testing that shows at least 

a thirty percent reduction in total 

hydrocarbons. 

Under the terms of the proposed 

settlement agreement, EPA states that it 

anticipates that, by June 15, 2012, it will 

sign a notice of proposed rulemaking 

that includes a proposal to revise these 

provisions to allow owners and 

operators of spark-ignition four-stroke 

rich burn engines that meet an emission 

standard requiring a 76 percent or 

greater reduction of the pollutant 

formaldehyde, to prove compliance 

with the standard based on approved 

testing that shows at least a thirty 

percent reduction in total hydrocarbons

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 212 / Wednesday, November 2, 2011 / Notices 67729 

and that by March 14, 2013, the 

Administrator of EPA will sign a final 

action on this proposal, which may 

include signature of a final rule by the 

Administrator. Under the proposed 

settlement agreement, if EPA fails to 

sign the proposal by June 15, 2012, or 

to take final action on the proposal by 

March 14, 2013, EMA may move the 

Court to lift the order staying 

proceedings and establish a briefing 

schedule. Petitioners shall have no 

further remedy under the agreement. 

Under the proposed settlement 

agreement, if the relevant provisions of 

the final rule are in substantial 

conformance with the revisions in the 

proposed agreement, then EMA agrees 

to dismiss the petition for review. 

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 

settlement agreement 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 settlement agreement 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, 

based on any comment submitted, that 

consent to this settlement agreement 

should be withdrawn, the terms of the 

agreement will be affirmed. 

II. Additional Information About 

Commenting on the Proposed 

Settlement Agreement 

A. How can I get a copy of the 

settlement agreement? 

The official public docket for this 

action (identified by Docket ID No. 

EPA–HQ–OGC–2011–0869) contains a 

copy of the proposed settlement 

agreement. 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 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.
