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 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

37398 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 120 / Thursday, June 21, 2012 / Notices 

(‘‘Act’’), notice is hereby given of a 

proposed settlement agreement to 

address a consolidated set of petitions 

for review filed by several parties in the 

United States Court of Appeals for the 

District of Columbia Circuit. Petitioners 

filed these petitions 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 

agrees that by May 22, 2012, the Agency 

will sign a notice of proposed 

rulemaking that includes a proposal to 

revise the RICE NESHAP: (1) To require 

management practices for owners and 

operators of remote existing nonemergency spark-ignition 4-stroke 

engines above 500 horsepower located 

at area sources, and (2) to require 

owners and operators of such engines 

that are not located in remote areas to 

meet an equipment standard requiring 

installation of a catalyst to reduce 

emissions of hazardous air pollutants 

(HAP) and to conduct initial and annual 

testing. The notice for proposed 

rulemaking contemplated in the 

settlement agreement has already been 

signed. Further, under the agreement, if 

EPA signs a notice of final action no 

later than December 14, 2012, that 

promulgates in final form regulatory text 

that amends the RICE NESHAP and that 

implements substantially the same 

substance as set forth in Attachment A 

to the agreement, then Petitioners shall 

promptly file a stipulation of dismissal 

of the petitions for review. 

DATES: Written comments on the 

proposed settlement agreement must be 

received by July 23, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Additional Information About the 

Proposed Settlement Agreement 

This proposed settlement agreement 

would potentially resolve petitions for 

judicial review filed in the U.S. Court of 

Appeals for the District of Columbia 

Circuit by the following petitioners: 

American Petroleum Institute (Doc. No. 

10–1334); the Gas Processors 

Association (Doc. No. 10–1335); the 

Interstate Natural Gas Association of 

America (Doc No. 10–1337); and 

Exterran Energy Solutions, L.P., et al., 

(Doc. No. 10–1338) (collectively referred 

to as ‘‘Petitioners’’). Petitioners seek 

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 (Aug. 20, 2010). 

Petitioners filed petitions for judicial 

review regarding several provisions of 

the final rule. Under the terms of the 

proposed settlement agreement, EPA 

states that it anticipates that, by May 22, 

2012, the Agency will sign a notice of 

proposed rulemaking that includes a 

proposal to revise the RICE NESHAP: (1) 

To require management practices for 

owners and operators of remote existing 

non-emergency spark-ignition 4-stroke 

engines above 500 horsepower located 

at area sources, and (2) to require 

owners and operators of such engines 

that are not located in a remote location 

to meet an equipment standard 

requiring installation of a catalyst to 

reduce emissions of HAP and to 

conduct initial and annual testing. The 

notice for proposed rulemaking 

contemplated in the settlement 

agreement has already been signed and 

is available on the Agency’s Web site. 

http://www.epa.gov/ttn/oarpg/t3/fr_

notices/rice_neshap_recon_prop_

052212.pdf. 

Further, under the agreement, if EPA 

signs a notice of final action no later 

than December 14, 2012, that 

promulgates in final form regulatory text 

that amends the RICE NESHAP and 

implements substantially the same 

substance as set forth in Attachment A 

to the agreement, then Petitioners shall 

promptly file a stipulation of dismissal 

of the petitions for review. Under the 

proposed settlement agreement, if EPA 

does not take action in accordance with 

the terms of the agreement, the 

Petitioners’ sole remedy under the 

agreement is the right to request that the 

Court lift the stay of proceedings and 

continue with the adjudication of 

Petitioners’ challenge of the RICE 

NESHAP rule. Petitioners have no 

further remedy under the agreement. 

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–2012–0460) contains a

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,

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

An electronic version of the public

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.

FARM CREDIT SYSTEM INSURANCE 

CORPORATION 

Policy Statement Concerning 

Assistance to Troubled Farm Credit 

System Institutions 

AGENCY: Farm Credit System Insurance 

Corporation. 

ACTION: Policy statement; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Farm Credit System 

Insurance Corporation (Corporation or 

FCSIC) is publishing for comment a 

draft Policy Statement Concerning 

Assistance to Troubled Farm Credit 

System (System) Institutions to replace 

the Corporation’s present Policy 

Statement Concerning Stand-Alone 

Assistance. The draft revised policy 

statement provides additional 

transparency concerning the 

Corporation’s authority to provide 

assistance and how the least-cost test 

might be performed. The draft revised 

policy statement also includes enhanced 

criteria of what is to be included in 

assistance proposals, and a new section 

discussing assistance agreements. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted on or before July 23, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Comments should be 

mailed or delivered to James M. Morris, 

General Counsel, Farm Credit System 

Insurance Corporation, McLean, 

Virginia 22102. Copies of all comments 

will be available for examination by 

interested parties in the offices of the 

Farm Credit System Insurance 

Corporation. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Wade Wynn, Senior Risk Analyst, and 

James M. Morris, General Counsel, Farm 

Credit System Insurance Corporation, 

1501 Farm Credit Drive, McLean, 

Virginia 22102, (703) 883–4380, TDD 

(703) 883–4390. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Corporation, in its sole discretion, is 

authorized under section 5.61(a) of the 

Farm Credit Act of 1971, as amended 

(Act),1 to provide assistance to a standalone System institution or to facilitate 

a merger or consolidation of a System 

institution with another System 

institution, provided it meets the 

statutory least-cost test.2 If the 

Corporation receives a request to assist 

a troubled System institution, it must 

compare the cost of liquidation to the 

cost of providing assistance to 

determine the least costly alternative to 

the Insurance Fund. If the cost of 

providing assistance is less than the cost 

of liquidation, the Corporation’s Board 

of Directors has a basis for granting 

assistance to a troubled System 

institution. In making this 

determination, the Corporation is 

authorized under section 5.59(b) of the 

Act 3 to gather any information as is 

necessary from the troubled System 

institution or any such other System 

institution to perform the least-cost test. 

After gathering all pertinent 

information, the Corporation must: (1) 

Evaluate alternatives on a present-value 

basis, using a reasonable discount rate, 

(2) document the evaluation and the 

assumptions on which the evaluation is 

based, and (3) retain the documentation 

for not less than 5 years. 

The Corporation’s existing policy 

statement is, for the most part, a 

summary of the powers of the 

Corporation under section 5.61(a) of the 

Act to provide assistance to a System 

institution, including the timing and 

steps for making the least-cost test.4 For 

example, the policy specifies that the 

Corporation’s Board of Directors must 

determine that providing assistance is 

the least costly means of all possible 

alternatives available to the Corporation, 

including liquidation of the System 

institution, and lists the steps for 

conducting the statutory least-cost test. 

The existing policy statement also 

provides a list of criteria of what the 

Corporation expects to receive in 

assistance proposals to help the 

Corporation conduct the least-cost test. 

The Corporation is now publishing for 

comment a revised ‘‘Policy Statement 

Concerning Assistance to Troubled 

Farm Credit System Institutions.’’ The 

revised policy statement provides 

additional transparency concerning the 

Corporation’s authority to provide 

assistance and how the least-cost test 

might be performed. The revised policy 

statement also includes more detailed 

criteria concerning what is to be 

included in assistance proposals, and a 

new section discussing assistance 

agreements. The text of the ‘‘Policy 

Statement Concerning Assistance to 

Troubled Farm Credit System
