**ACTION :**  Notice of proposed consent decree; request for public comment.

**SUMMARY :**  In accordance with section 113(g) of the Clean Air Act, as amended (‘‘CAA’’ or the ‘‘Act’’), notice is hereby 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.
