notice is hereby given of a proposed 

consent decree in WildEarth Guardians 

v. Regan, No. 1:22–cv–174–RB–GBW

(EPA or the Agency) failed to perform a 

non-discretionary duty in accordance 

with the Act to either promulgate a 

Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) or 

approve a State Implementation Plan 

(SIP) for New Mexico that meets CAA 

requirements for the 2015 ozone 

National Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS). The proposed consent decree 

would establish a June 1, 2024, deadline 

for EPA to take specified actions. 

DATES: Written comments on the 

proposed consent decree must be 

received by July 22, 2022.

II. Additional Information About the 

Proposed Consent Decree 

The proposed consent decree would 

resolve a lawsuit filed by WildEarth 

Guardians seeking to compel the 

Administrator to promulgate a FIP for 

New Mexico to satisfy the requirements 

of CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) for the 

2015 ozone NAAQS. On October 1, 

2015, EPA promulgated a final rule 

revising the ozone NAAQS. Effective 

January 6, 2020, EPA determined that 

New Mexico had ‘‘not submitted [a] 

complete interstate transport [SIP] to 

meet the requirements of CAA section 

110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) for the 2015 ozone 

NAAQS[,]’’ which established a 2-year 

deadline under CAA section 110(c)(1) 

for EPA to promulgate a FIP for New 

Mexico to satisfy these requirements 

unless, before EPA promulgates such 

FIP, the State submits and EPA 

approves a SIP that meets these 

requirements.1

Under the terms of the proposed 

consent decree, no later than June 1, 

2024, EPA must sign a final rule or rules 

taking one or more of the following 

actions with respect to the State of New 

Mexico to meet the requirements of 

CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) regarding 

prohibiting significant contribution to 

nonattainment or interference with 

maintenance in other states for the 2015 

ozone NAAQS: (a) promulgate a FIP; (b) 

approve a SIP; or (c) approve in part a 

SIP in conjunction with promulgating a 

partial FIP. 

In accordance with section 113(g) of 

the CAA, for a period of thirty (30) days 

following the date of publication of this 

document, the Agency will accept 

written comments relating to the 

proposed consent decree. 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.

Order for Certain Pesticide 

Registrations 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In the Federal Register of 

November 19, 2021, EPA amended the 

effective date of the cancellation for the 

two spirodiclofen registrations, EPA 

Registration Nos. 10163–382 and 

10163–383, as requested by the 

registrant (Gowan), for the two 

registrations from December 31, 2021, 

until June 30, 2022. This notice 

announces that EPA is rescinding the 

cancellation order based on the 

submission of outstanding data that 

facilitated the risk assessments and 

registration review decision for 

spirodiclofen, as well as the registrant’s 

commitment to implement label 

changes that adequately address the 

Agency’s risk concerns. The registrant 

has submitted an amended label for the 

sole end-use product (EPA Registration 

No. 10163–383) that reflects the risk 

mitigation proposed by the Agency. 

DATES: This recission of the cancellation 

order for the two spirodiclofen 

registrations, EPA Registration Nos. 

10163–382 and 10163–383 is effective 

June 22, 2022.

This notice is being issued to rescind 

the cancellation order for the two 

spirodiclofen registrations (EPA

these registrations in August 2017, as an 

alternative to developing data required

for spirodiclofen, GDCI–124871–1883. 

The notice of receipt of the request to 

cancel was published in the Federal 

Register on October 3, 2017 (82 FR

solicited public comment on the notice 

and received no comments.
