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), (3) and/or (4) of the CAA, 42 

U.S.C. 7410(k)(2), (3) and/or (4), to 

approve or disapprove, in whole or in 

part, specific ‘‘infrastructure’’ SIP 

submissions for the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS 

submitted by Colorado, Kansas, 

Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, New 

York, North Dakota, and Utah which are 

identified in Attachment A to the 

proposed consent decree. By statute, 

EPA must take action on such a SIP 

submission within 12 months after EPA 

determines the submission to be 

complete, or within 12 months after the 

submission is deemed complete by 

operation of law. Because EPA had not 

taken action on the SIP submissions at 

issue in this litigation by the statutorily 

required dates, EPA determined that it 

was preferable to enter into a consent 

decree to specify the new date by which 

EPA would take these actions, rather 

than have a date imposed by a court. 

The proposed consent decree 

provides that no later than June 13, 

2013, EPA shall sign one or more final 

rules to approve or disapprove, in whole 

or in part, pursuant to CAA section 

110(k)(2), (3) and/or (4), the specific 

infrastructure SIP submissions for the 

2006 PM2.5 NAAQS submitted by 

Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, 

New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, 

and Utah identified in Attachment A to 

the proposed consent decree. The 

proposed consent decree also identifies 

the specific section 110(a)(2) 

infrastructure SIP elements that EPA 

must address in the required action for 

each state. 

Within 15 business days following 

signature of each final rule described in 

the proposed consent decree, EPA is 

also required to send the signed notice 

to the Office of the Federal Register for 

review and publication in the Federal 

Register. After EPA fulfills all of its 

obligations under the consent decree, 

the proposed consent decree provides 

that this case shall be dismissed with 

prejudice. 

The proposed consent decree also 

states that the consent decree can be 

modified by the parties, or by the court 

following a motion by a party and a 

response thereto. In addition, the parties 

agree to seek to resolve informally Sierra 

Club’s claim for litigation costs pursuant 

to 42 U.S.C. 7604(d), but the court 

would retain jurisdiction to resolve that 

claim. 

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 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–2013–0359) contains a 

copy of the proposed consent decree 

(including Attachment A). 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 

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.
