Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, 

and Utah. The proposed consent decree 

would establish deadlines for EPA to 

take action on these submissions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Additional Information About the 

Proposed Consent Decree 

The proposed consent decree would 

resolve a lawsuit filed by WildEarth 

Guardians (‘‘Plaintiffs’’) seeking to 

compel the Administrator to take 

actions under CAA sections 110(k)(2) to 

take action on several SIP submissions 

from the States of Colorado, North 

Dakota, South Dakota, and Utah. These 

SIP revisions were submitted to EPA 

between June of 2009 and June of 2011. 

Section 110(k)(2) requires EPA to take 

action on SIP revisions within twelve 

months of the submission of a SIP 

revision that has been determined to be 

or deemed to be complete. EPA did not 

take action on the SIP revisions listed 

above within the statutory deadline and 

this is the basis for the Plaintiffs’ 

mandatory duty lawsuit at issue in the 

proposed consent decree. 

The proposed consent decree would 

require EPA to sign a notice of final 

action to approve, disapprove, approve 

in part and disapprove in part, or 

conditionally approve the above-listed 

SIP revisions by the specific dates 

identified in the proposed consent 

decree. The proposed consent decree 

would also require EPA, following 

signature of the notices of final action 

on the SIP revisions, to promptly submit 

such notices to the Office of the Federal 

Register for review and publication in 

the Federal Register. After EPA fulfills 

its obligations under the proposed 

consent decree, the consent decree 

would be terminated and the case 

dismissed. In addition, the proposed 

consent decree contains a provision 

addressing Plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees, 

costs, and expenses incurred in this 

litigation. 

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.
