**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 toallow 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, identified by Docket ID number EPA– HQ–OGC–2011–0869, online at www.regulations.gov (EPA’s preferred method); by email to oei.docket@epa.gov; by mail to EPA Docket Center, Environmental Protection Agency, Mailcode: 2822T, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460–0001; or by hand delivery or courier to EPA Docket

**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


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

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.
