**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 
I. Additional Information About the Proposed Consent Decree

This proposed consent decree would resolve a lawsuit filed by Plaintiffs seeking to compel the Administrator to take action under CAA section 110(k)(2)–(3). Plaintiffs allege that the Administrator has failed to perform a non-discretionary duty to take final action on the portion of Nevada’s SIP submission intended to address the requirements of 42 U.S.C. 7410(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) for the 2008 ozone NAAQS. Under the terms of the proposed consent decree, EPA would agree to take certain specified actions by February 13, 2017 to resolve those claims. See the proposed consent decree for more details. The proposed consent decree also provides for the possibility that circumstances beyond EPA’s reasonable control could delay compliance with the February 13, 2017 deadline, and provides a framework for extending that deadline. In addition, the proposed consent decree enumerates Plaintiffs’ costs of litigation, including attorney fees, and provides that payment of those costs will constitute a full and complete settlement of all of Plaintiffs’ costs in connection with this litigation.

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 Unless EPA or the Department of Justice determines that consent to this consent decree should be withdrawn, the terms of the consent decree will be affirmed.

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.
