proposed consent decree, to address a 

lawsuit filed by Sierra Club in the 

United States District Court for the 

District of Columbia: Sierra Club v. 

Jackson, No. 1: 12–cv–00012 (CKK). On 

March 2, 2012, the Plaintiff filed a First 

Amended Complaint alleging that EPA 

failed to perform nondiscretionary 

duties under the Clean Air Act related 

to the attainment of National Ambient 

Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for

alleged that EPA failed to take timely 

action to approve, disapprove, or

pursuant to CAA, portions of the State 

of Texas’ State Implementation Plan 

(SIP) submittals for the 1997 8-hour 

ozone NAAQS, including an ozone 

attainment demonstration, contingency 

provisions, reasonably available control 

technology requirements, reasonable 

further progress provisions, and 

transportation control measures and 

demonstrations in the HoustonGalveston-Brazoria area. The proposed 

consent decree establishes deadlines for 

EPA to take action on the SIP submittals 

listed in the consent decree. The 

proposed consent decree also provides 

that once EPA has completed the 

actions specified in the decree the case 

will be dismissed with prejudice.

proposed consent decree must be 

received by August 2, 2012.

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 final action under sections 

110(k)(2) and (3) of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 

7410(k)(2) and (3), on portions of the 

State of Texas’ State Implementation 

Plan (SIP) submittals for the 1997 8- 

hour ozone NAAQS. Specifically, the 

lawsuit seeks to compel the 

Administrator to take final action, 

pursuant to section 110(k) of the CAA, 

42 U.S.C. 7410(k), on several SIP 

submittals related to 1997 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS nonattainment area 

requirements in the Houston-GalvestonBrazoria area, including: an ozone 

attainment demonstration submitted to 

EPA on or about April 6, 2010; 

contingency provisions submitted to 

EPA on or about April 1, 2010; 

reasonably available control technology 

requirements submitted to EPA on or 

about June 13, 2007; reasonable further 

progress provisions submitted to EPA 

on or about April 1, 2010; and 

transportation control measures and 

demonstrations submitted to EPA on or 

about April 6, 2010. 

The proposed consent decree 

provides various dates by which EPA 

must take proposed and final action on 

the SIP submittals at issue. Following 

signature of each proposed and final 

rule described in the proposed consent 

decree, EPA is required to send the 

notice to the Office of the Federal 

Register promptly for review and 

publication in the Federal Register. The 

proposed consent decree also states that 

after EPA fulfills its obligations under 

the consent decree, this case shall be 

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 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, based on any comment 

submitted, that consent to this consent 

decree should be withdrawn, the terms 

of the decree will be affirmed. 

II. Additional Information About 

Commenting on the Proposed Consent 

Decree 

A. How can I get a copy of the consent 

decree? 

The official public docket for this 

action (identified by Docket ID No. 

EPA–HQ–OGC- 2012–0516) contains a 

copy of the proposed consent decree. 

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, key in the appropriate docket 

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 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
39494 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 128 / Tuesday, July 3, 2012 / Notices 

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.
