decree; request for public comment. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with section 

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

given of a proposed consent decree to 

address a lawsuit filed by Sierra Club in 

the United States District Court for the 

District of Columbia: Sierra Club v. 

McCarthy, Case No. 1:14–cv–00833– 

ESH (D.D.C.). On May 20, 2014, Plaintiff 

filed a complaint which alleged that 

Gina McCarthy, in her official capacity 

as Administrator of the United States 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(‘‘EPA’’), failed to perform her 

nondiscretionary duty to take action on 

a number of Texas state implementation 

plan (‘‘SIP’’) submissions for the Dallas/ 

Ft. Worth nonattainment area to address 

the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS within 

one year of the date the submissions 

were deemed complete by operation of 

law. These SIP submissions include a 

demonstration of attainment, reasonably 

available control technology (‘‘RACT’’) 

requirements for volatile organic 

compounds (‘‘VOCs’’) and nitrogen 

oxides (‘‘NOX’’), and provisions for 

reasonable further progress (‘‘RFP’’) 

toward attainment. Plaintiff’s complaint 

also alleged that the Administrator 

failed to perform a nondiscretionary 

duty to determine whether the Dallas/

Ft. Worth area attained the 1997 8-hour 

ozone NAAQS by the June 15, 2013 

attainment date and to reclassify the 

area accordingly. The proposed consent 

decree would establish deadlines for 

EPA to take these actions.
