ACTION: Notice of Proposed Settlement Agreement; Request for Public Comment. AGENCY: In accordance with section 113(g) of the Clean Air Act, as amended (‘‘Act’’), 42 U.S.C. 7413(g), notice is hereby given of a proposed settlement agreement to address a lawsuit filed by Allied Energy Company, Gladieux Trading and Marketing, Insight Equity Acquisition Partners, LP, Liquidtitan, LLC and Seaport Refining and Environmental, LLC (‘‘Petitioners’’), in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit: Allied Energy Company, et al v. EPA, No. 10– 1146 (D.C. Cir.). Petitioners filed a petition for review respecting one issue in an EPA rule that, among other things, beginning in June, 2014, forbade the production of diesel fuel that contains up to 500 parts per million (ppm) sulfur for use in older technology locomotive and marine engines. Under the terms of the proposed settlement agreement, EPA anticipates that, by December 31, 2011, it will sign a notice of proposed rulemaking that includes a proposal to allow the continued production of diesel fuel that contains up to 500 parts per million (ppm) sulfur, produced from transmix, for use in older technology locomotive and marine engines outside SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\12SEN1.SGM 12SEN1 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 176 / Monday, September 12, 2011 / Notices of the Northeast Mid-Atlantic area during and after 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES I. Additional Information about the Proposed Settlement Agreement This proposed settlement agreement would potentially resolve a petition for judicial review filed by Petitioners for review of a rule promulgating standards for the control of emissions from new ocean-going marine vessels (‘‘Control of Emissions from New Marine Compression-Ignition Engines At or Above 30 Liters Per Cylinder,’’ 75 FR 22896, April 30, 2010.) One of the actions taken in that rule forbade the production of diesel fuel that contains up to 500 ppm sulfur for use in older technology locomotive and marine engines, beginning June 1, 2014, because a new stream of diesel, that contained up to 1000 ppm sulfur, for use in ocean-going vessels, was being introduced at that time. Petitioners filed petitions for review and administrative reconsideration regarding this action. Discussions with Petitioners indicates that the stream of diesel fuel available to ocean-going vessels is subject to different distribution than locomotive fuel and that it is not therefore a substitute for the stream of 500 ppm locomotive and marine fuel that was eliminated. VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:36 Sep 09, 2011 Jkt 223001 Under the terms of the proposed settlement agreement, EPA states that it anticipates that, by December 31, 2011, it will sign a notice of proposed rulemaking that includes a proposal to revise these provisions to allow the continued production of diesel fuel that contains up to 500 ppm sulfur from transmix for use in older technology locomotive and marine engines during and after 2014. EPA would propose to limit the use of such 500 ppm fuel to outside of the Northeast Mid-Atlantic area and would propose provisions to ensure it is segregated from the point of production to the end-user. EPA states that it further anticipates taking final action, which may include signature of a final rule by the Administrator of EPA, on the proposal by September 30, 2012. Under the proposed settlement agreement, if EPA fails to sign the proposal by March 15, 2012, or to take final action on the proposal by December 15, 2012, Petitioners may move the Court to lift the order holding the matter in abeyance and issue a briefing schedule. EPA will not oppose such a motion in such circumstances. In addition, EPA will not oppose any motion by Petitioners to expedite proceedings. Petitioners shall have no further remedy under the agreement. Under the proposed settlement agreement, if the relevant provisions of the final rule are in substantial conformance with the revisions in the proposed agreement, then Petitioners agree to the dismissal of the petition for review. For a period of thirty (30) days following the date of publication of this notice, the Agency will accept written comments relating to the proposed settlement agreement from persons who were not named as parties or intervenors to the litigation in question. EPA or the Department of Justice may withdraw or withhold consent to the proposed settlement agreement if the comments disclose facts or considerations that indicate that such consent is inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or inconsistent with the requirements of the Act. Unless EPA or the Department of Justice determines, based on any comment submitted, that consent to this settlement agreement should be withdrawn, the terms of the agreement will be affirmed. II.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Additional Information about the Proposed Settlement Agreement

    This proposed settlement agreement would potentially resolve a 
petition for judicial review filed by Petitioners for review of a rule 
promulgating standards for the control of emissions from new ocean-
going marine vessels (``Control of Emissions from New Marine 
Compression-Ignition Engines At or Above 30 Liters Per Cylinder,'' 75 
FR 22896, April 30, 2010.) One of the actions taken in that rule 
forbade the production of diesel fuel that contains up to 500 ppm 
sulfur for use in older technology locomotive and marine engines, 
beginning June 1, 2014, because a new stream of diesel, that contained 
up to 1000 ppm sulfur, for use in ocean-going vessels, was being 
introduced at that time.
    Petitioners filed petitions for review and administrative 
reconsideration regarding this action. Discussions with Petitioners 
indicates that the stream of diesel fuel available to ocean-going 
vessels is subject to different distribution than locomotive fuel and 
that it is not therefore a substitute for the stream of 500 ppm 
locomotive and marine fuel that was eliminated.
    Under the terms of the proposed settlement agreement, EPA states 
that it anticipates that, by December 31, 2011, it will sign a notice 
of proposed rulemaking that includes a proposal to revise these 
provisions to allow the continued production of diesel fuel that 
contains up to 500 ppm sulfur from transmix for use in older technology 
locomotive and marine engines during and after 2014. EPA would propose 
to limit the use of such 500 ppm fuel to outside of the Northeast Mid-
Atlantic area and would propose provisions to ensure it is segregated 
from the point of production to the end-user. EPA states that it 
further anticipates taking final action, which may include signature of 
a final rule by the Administrator of EPA, on the proposal by September 
30, 2012. Under the proposed settlement agreement, if EPA fails to sign 
the proposal by March 15, 2012, or to take final action on the proposal 
by December 15, 2012, Petitioners may move the Court to lift the order 
holding the matter in abeyance and issue a briefing schedule. EPA will 
not oppose such a motion in such circumstances. In addition, EPA will 
not oppose any motion by Petitioners to expedite proceedings. 
Petitioners shall have no further remedy under the agreement.
    Under the proposed settlement agreement, if the relevant provisions 
of the final rule are in substantial conformance with the revisions in 
the proposed agreement, then Petitioners agree to the dismissal of the 
petition for review.
    For a period of thirty (30) days following the date of publication 
of this notice, the Agency will accept written comments relating to the 
proposed settlement agreement from persons who were not named as 
parties or intervenors to the litigation in question. EPA or the 
Department of Justice may withdraw or withhold consent to the proposed 
settlement agreement if the comments disclose facts or considerations 
that indicate that such consent is inappropriate, improper, inadequate, 
or inconsistent with the requirements of the Act. Unless EPA or the 
Department of Justice determines, based on any comment submitted, that 
consent to this settlement agreement should be withdrawn, the terms of 
the agreement will be affirmed.
