burden and a decrease in Agency burden. In addition, there is a decrease in total capital and O&M costs. This situation is not due to any program changes. The changes in the burden and cost estimates occurred because the standard has been in effect for more than three years and the requirements are different during initial compliance (new facilities) as compared to on-going compliance (existing facilities). The previous ICR reflected those burdens and costs associated with the initial activities for subject facilities. This includes purchasing monitoring equipment, preparing initial notifications, and establishing recordkeeping systems. This ICR largely reflects both the on-going burden and costs for existing facilities. Activities for existing source include the continuously monitoring of mercury and the submission of annual and semiannual reports.

On a biannual interval, an Exposure Modeling Public Meeting (EMPM) is held for presentation and discussion of current issues related to modeling pesticide fate, transport, and exposure for risk assessment in a regulatory context. Meeting dates and abstract requests are announced through the ‘‘empmlist’’ forum on the LYRIS list
server at https://lists.epa.gov/read/ all

_ forums/. The EMPM scheduled for October 2013 was canceled due to the government shutdown. As a consequence, EPA will use the October 2013 agenda at the March 24, 2014 meeting with the addition of a presentation on PRZM–GW model implementation and evaluation due to extensive stakeholder interest.

**Proposed Consent Decree, Clean Air Act Citizen Suit** 

**AGENCY :**  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

**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’’), notice is hereby given of a proposed consent decree to address a lawsuit filed by Air Alliance Houston, Community In-Power and Development Association, Inc., Louisiana Bucket Brigade and Texas Environmental Justice Advocacy Services (‘‘Plaintiffs’’), in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia: Air Alliance Houston, et al. v. McCarthy, No. 1:13– cv–00621–KBJ (D.D.C.). On May 1, 2013, Plaintiffs filed a complaint that EPA failed to perform nondiscretionary duties to review, and, if necessary, revise the emission factors for volatile organic compounds (‘‘VOC’’), carbon monoxide (‘‘CO’’), and nitrogen oxides (‘‘NO X ’’) for flares, liquid storage tanks (‘‘tanks’’) and wastewater collection, treatment and storage systems (‘‘wastewater treatment systems’’) at least once every three years. The consent decree would require EPA to propose action by August 19, 2014, and take final action by December 19, 2014.

**DATES :**  Written comments on the proposed consent decree must be received by March 27, 2014.

**ADDRESSES :**  Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID number EPA– HQ–OGC–2014–0168, online at www.regulations.gov (EPA’s preferred method); by email to oei.docket@

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

The proposed consent decree would settle Plaintiffs’ claims in a deadline suit alleging EPA failed to perform nondiscretionary duties pursuant to section 130 of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 7430, to review, and, if necessary, revise the emission factors for VOC, CO, and NO X for flares, tanks and wastewater treatment systems at least once every three years. The proposed consent decree would require EPA, by August 19, 2014, to review and either propose revisions to the VOC, CO and NO X emission factors for flares, tanks and wastewater treatment systems under CAA section 130, or propose a determination under CAA section 130 that revision of these emission factors is not necessary. The proposed consent decree would also require EPA, by December 19, 2014, to issue final revisions to the VOC, CO and NO X emission factors for flares, tanks and wastewater treatment systems under CAA section 130, or issue a final determination under CAA section 130 that revision of these emission factors for flares is not necessary. EPA will post each proposed revision or determination (or combination thereof), and each final revision or determination (or combination thereof), on its AP–42 Web site (located at http://www.epa.gov/ttn/ chief/ap42/ ) on the dates indicated above. In addition, EPA will provide a copy of each such action to Plaintiffs’ counsel within seven days of posting. Under the proposed consent decree, once EPA has met these obligations, and any claims by Plaintiffs for costs of litigation have been resolved pursuant to the process provided in the proposed consent decree, the court would dismiss the suit with prejudice.

For a period of thirty (30) days following the date of publication of this notice, the Agency will receive 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 the consent decree should be withdrawn, the terms of the decree will be affirmed.
