Proposed Settlement; SO2 NAAQS

Remand

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed settlement;

request for public comment.

SUMMARY: In accordance with section

113(g) of the Clean Air Act, as amended

(‘‘Act’’), 42 U.S.C. 7413(g), notification

is hereby given of a proposed settlement

regarding EPA’s timing of its response to

the remand of the United States Court

of Appeals for the District of Columbia

Circuit in ALA v. Browner, No. 96–1255

(D.C. Cir., decided, January 30, 1998).

This case involves a challenge to EPA’s

decision not to revise the National

Ambient Air Quality Standard for sulfur

dioxide, issued on May 22, 1996. (61 FR

25566, May 22, 1996).

EPA’s planned schedule for

responding to the court’s remand is set

forth in a Federal Register Notice (63 FR

24782, May 5, 1998) that is included as

an attachment to the settlement

agreement. As set forth therein, EPA

would propose a response to the remand

in the summer of 1999 and take final

action on the remand by December

2000.

Under the settlement agreement, in

return for EPA agreeing to the schedule

set forth in the notice, ALA agrees to not

file a petition for rehearing or a

suggestion for rehearing en banc in the

above-referenced case and to refrain

from bringing any unreasonable delay

claims or mandatory duty suits

regarding the SO2 NAAQS prior to

January 2001.

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

from persons who were not named as

parties to the litigation in question. The

Agency or the Department of Justice

may withhold or withdraw consent to

the proposed settlement if the

comments disclose facts or

circumstance that indicate that such

consent is inappropriate, improper,

inadequate, or inconsistent with the

requirements of the Act. Copies of the
