Club in the United States District Court 

for the Northern District of California: 

Sierra Club v. McCarthy, Civil Action 

No. 3:12–cv–6472–CRB (N.D. Cal.). On 

December 21, 2012, Plaintiff filed a 

complaint alleging that Gina McCarthy, 

in her official capacity as Administrator 

of the United States Environmental 

Protection Agency (‘‘EPA’’), failed to 

perform a mandatory duty by not acting 

on 2006 PM 2.5 infrastructure state 

implementation plans (iSIPs) for six 

states and failed to promulgate transport 

federal implementation plans (FIPs) for 

an additional 20 states and the District 

of Columbia. The proposed consent 

decree would establish deadlines for 

EPA to take actions. 

DATES: Written comments on the 

proposed consent decree must be 

received by March 13, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID number EPA–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Additional Information About the 

Proposed Consent Decree 

The proposed consent decree would 

resolve a lawsuit filed by the Sierra Club 

seeking to compel the Administrator to 

take actions on 2006 PM 2.5 

infrastructure SIPs for six states and to 

promulgate transport FIPs for an 

additional 20 states and the District of 

Columbia. The proposed consent decree 

(1) agrees that no claim is stated as to 

an iSIP claim for Illinois and deems an 

iSIP claim as to California moot as EPA 

has acted on submittals relating to those 

claims, (2) agrees that no claim is stated 

for failure to issue transport FIPs for 10 

states which were included in CSAPR as 

it is the transport FIP for those states, 

and (3) deems transport FIP obligations 

for 5 states (Alaska, Montana, North 

Dakota, Louisiana, & Utah) moot as EPA 

has acted on those transport SIPs. 

Under the terms of the proposed 

consent decree, by November 30, 2015, 

EPA shall take final action to approve or 

disapprove a SIP on the remaining iSIP 

elements for California, Illinois, 

Michigan, Nebraska, South Dakota and 

Wisconsin. In addition, the proposed 

consent decree states that EPA shall take 

final action to promulgate a good 

neighbor FIP or approve a SIP regarding 

the transport obligations for 5 remaining 

states and the District of Columbia 

which final action must be signed for 

Colorado and Wyoming by July 31, 

2015, for Oregon by September 30, 2015, 

and for the District of Columbia, South 

Dakota, and Idaho, by November 30, 

2015. 

The proposed consent decree requires 

EPA to send notice of each action to the 

Office of the Federal Register for review 

and publication within 15 days of 

signature. In addition, the proposed 

consent decree outlines the procedure 

for the Plaintiff to request costs of 

litigation, including attorney fees. When 

these obligations have been completed, 

the case shall be terminated and 

dismissed with prejudice. 

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. 

II. Additional Information About 

Commenting on the Proposed Consent 

Decree

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

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

difficulties or needs further information 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
7588 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 28 / Wednesday, February 11, 2015 / Notices 

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.

II. Background on the Receipt of 

Requests To Cancel Registrations 

This notice announces receipt by EPA 

of a request from registrants, Bayer 

CropScience and Bayer Environmental 

Science, to cancel all diclofop-methyl 

product registrations. Diclofop-methyl is 

a restricted use herbicide registered for 

use on wheat, barley, and golf course 

turf to control wild oats and annual 

grassy weeds. In a letter dated October 

23, 2014, Bayer CropScience and Bayer 

Environmental Science requested EPA 

to cancel certain pesticide product 

registrations identified in Table 1 of 

Unit III. Specifically, Bayer requests that 

all diclofop-methyl registrations be 

cancelled effective January 1, 2018. This 

action will terminate the last diclofopmethyl products registered in the 

United States. 

III. What action is the agency taking? 

This notice announces receipt by EPA 

of a request from registrants to cancel all 

diclofop-methyl product registrations. 

The affected products and the 

registrants making the requests are 

identified in Tables 1 and 2 of this unit. 

On September 24, 2014, the public 

phase of registration review for 

diclofop-methyl began with the opening 

of the initial docket (EPA–HQ–OPP– 

2014–0577) and publication of the 

Preliminary Work Plan (PWP) and 

supporting science documents. The 

comment period for the diclofop-methyl 

registration review docket was open for 

60 days, from September 24, 2014 to 

November 24, 2014. The Agency’s 

projected registration review timeline 

described in the PWP established that 

preliminary risk assessments would be 

completed by December 2018, and the 

final registration decision would be
