The parties request that the proposed Consent Decree not be signed or entered by the 

Court at this time. Clean Air Act section 113(g), 42 U.S.C. § 7413(g), requires that notice of this 

proposed Decree be given to the public, that the public shall have a reasonable opportunity to 

make any comments, and that the Administrator of EPA or the Attorney General, as appropriate, 

must consider those comments in deciding whether to consent to this Decree. The parties 

acknowledge this requirement in paragraph 14 of the proposed decree.

EPA will conduct the required notice and comment process following the lodging of the 

proposed decree. Once the process is completed, EPA will inform the Court and the Plaintiffs as 

to whether the Administrator and/or Attorney General has determined to withdraw or withhold 

consent to the Consent Decree or to proceed with the entry of the Consent Decree. In the former 

case, the parties will file a joint status report. In the latter case, the parties shall file an 

appropriate notice or motion requesting entry of the Consent Decree.
