adequate time to consider those 

comments prior to making a decision. 

Thus, if you plan to submit written 

comments, the Agency strongly 

encourages you to submit such 

comments no later than noon, Eastern 

Time, Friday, April 5, 2013. You should 

submit your comments using the 

instructions in Section I, under 

subsection C, ‘‘What Should I Consider

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Additional Information About the 

Proposed Settlement Agreement 

This proposed settlement agreement 

would resolve a lawsuit alleging that the 

Administrator failed to perform a 

nondiscretionary duty to grant or deny, 

within 60 days of submission, two 

administrative petitions to object to 

CAA Title V operating permits issued by 

the Louisiana Department of 

Environmental Quality to Consolidated 

Environmental Management, Inc.— 

Nucor Steel Louisiana for a pig iron 

manufacturing process and for a direct 

reduced iron manufacturing process in 

St. James Parish, Louisiana. Under the 

terms of the proposed settlement 

agreement, EPA would agree to sign an 

order granting or denying one objection 

(‘‘Specific Objection I’’) in the May 2011 

petition under 42 U.S.C. 7661d(b)(2) by 

April 29, 2013, and to sign an order or 

orders granting or denying the June 

2010 petition and May 2011 petition 

(except for Specific Objection I) under 

42 U.S.C. 7661d(b)(2) by October 17, 

2013. Once EPA has signed such orders, 

EPA would be required to promptly 

provide written notice to Plaintiffs. If 

the proposed settlement agreement 

becomes final and EPA has provided 

Plaintiffs notice of the signed orders as 

required in Paragraphs 1 and 2 of the 

proposed settlement agreement, 

Plaintiffs would be required to file a 

motion for voluntary dismissal of the 

First Amended Complaint with 

prejudice in LEAN v. Jackson. In 

addition, the proposed settlement 

agreement contains provisions relating 

to the publication of notice of the signed 

orders in the Federal Register and 

relating to the settlement of Plaintiffs’ 

claims for attorneys’ fees and costs. 

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 

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–2013–0212) 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, select ‘‘search,’’ then key in the 

appropriate docket identification 

number. 

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 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 60 / Thursday, March 28, 2013 / Notices 18981 

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.

Division, GSA (816) 823–2170 or via

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

The General Services Administration 

(GSA) has various mission 

responsibilities related to the 

acquisition and provision of real 

property management, and disposal of 

real and personal property. These 

mission responsibilities generate 

requirements that are realized through 

the solicitation and award of leasing 

contracts. Individual solicitations and 

resulting contracts may impose unique 

information collection/reporting 

requirements on contractors, not 

required by regulation, but necessary to 

(1) evaluate whether the physical 

attributes of offered properties meet the 

Government’s requirements and (2) 

compare the owner/offeror’s price 

proposal against competing offers. 

These Form 1364 versions are 

products of a GSA Lease Reform 

Initiative to improve the lease 

acquisition process for GSA, client 

agencies, and the private sector. Process 

reform over the past 2 years has brought 

reform to GSA leasing by implementing 

a variety of enhancements and 

improvements to the methods by which 

GSA procures space. As a direct result 

of the reform, five new lease contract 

models have been developed that are 

targeted to meet the needs of the 

national leased portfolio. Four of the 

lease models require offerors to 

complete a GSA Form 1364. The new 

versions of GSA Form 1364 require the 

submission of information specifically 

aligned with the leasing models and 

avoid mandating submission of 

information that is not required for use 

in evaluation and award under each 

model. 

The Simplified Lease Model uses GSA 

Forms 1364A and 1364A–1. This model 

obtains a firm, fixed price for rent, 

which includes the cost of tenant 

improvement construction. Therefore, 

leases using the Simplified model do 

not include post-award tenant 

improvement cost information on the 

form. The 1364A includes rental rate 

components and cost data that becomes 

part of the lease contract and that is 

necessary to satisfy GSA pricing policy 

requirements. 

The 1364A–1 is a checklist that 

addresses technical requirements as 

referenced in the Request for Lease 

Proposals. The 1364A–1 is separate 

from the proposal itself and maintained 

in the lease file; it does not become an 

exhibit to the lease. The 1364A–1 may 

contain proprietary offeror information 

that cannot be released under the 

Freedom of Information Act. 

The Streamlined Lease Model uses 

GSA Form 1364B. The Streamlined 

Lease model is a unique model that was 

designed to support small to mid-size 

leases up to $500,000 average net 

annual rent and occupancies that fall 

under Interagency Security Committee 

Security Levels I, II, and III. The 

Streamlined Lease model is not used for 

projects requiring lease construction or 

leases employing the best value trade-off 

evaluation process. 

The Standard Lease Model, which 

relies on an allowance instead of firm 

fixed pricing for initial tenant 

improvements, uses GSA Form 1364C.
