Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 170 / Wednesday, September 3, 1997 / Notices 46493

amended, 42 U.S.C. 7413(g), notice is

hereby given of a proposed settlement

agreement concerning litigation

instituted against the Environmental

Protection Agency (‘‘EPA’’) by the

Arizona Center for Law in the Public

Interest. The lawsuit concerns EPA’s

alleged failure to perform a

nondiscretionary duty with respect to

determining whether the Phoenix,

Arizona ozone nonattainment area has

timely attained the national ambient air

quality standard (‘‘NAAQS’’) for ozone,

and if the area has not, to publish that

determination in the Federal Register.

The settlement commits EPA to a

schedule for making the determination

as to whether the area attained the

NAAQS, except that EPA is not

obligated to make this determination if,

instead, EPA determines that the area is

eligible for an attainment date

extension. If EPA determines that

Phoenix failed to attain the ozone

NAAQS as of the end of 1996, Phoenix

will be reclassified, by operation of law,

from a Moderate ozone nonattainment

area to a Serious nonattainment area.

For a period of thirty (30) days

following the date of publication of this

notice, the Agency will receive written

comments relating to the settlement

agreement. EPA or the Department of

Justice may withhold or withdraw

consent to the proposed settlement

agreement if the comments disclose

facts or circumstances that indicate that

such consent is inappropriate,

improper, inadequate, or inconsistent

with the requirements of the Act.

Copies of the settlement agreement

are available from Phyllis Cochran, Air

and Radiation Division (2344), Office of

General Counsel, U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency, 401 M Street, SW.,

Washington, DC 20460, (202) 260–7606.

Written comments should be sent to

Howard J. Hoffman at the above address

and must be submitted on or before

October 3, 1997.

Dated: August 21, 1997.
