hereby given of a proposed settlement

agreement concerning litigation

instituted against the Environmental

control requirements for the Denver

Metropolitan Area in the State of

Colorado. The proposed settlement

agreement generally provides for EPA to

sign, within specified timeframes,

Notices of Proposed and Final

Rulemaking regarding each of the abovementioned SIPs.

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

agreement. EPA or the Department of

Justice may withhold or withdraw

consent to the proposed settlement

agreement if the comments disclose

facts or circumstances that indicate that

such consent is inappropriate,

improper, inadequate or inconsistent

with the requirements of the Act.

Copies of the settlement agreement

are available from Phyllis Cochran, Air

and Radiation Division (2344), Office of

General Counsel, U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency, 401 M Street, SW.,
