SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Additional Information About the Proposed Settlement Agreements

    These proposed settlement agreements would resolve two cases filed 
by Guardians. First, Guardians filed a case in the EAB challenging a 
Title V Renewal Permit issued by EPA Region 8 on October 18, 2010 to 
BP's Florida River Compression Station Facility (In re BP America 
Production Co., Florida River Compression Facility, Appeal No. CAA 10-
04). BP intervened as a party in the EAB action. Second, Guardians 
filed a petition in the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth 
Circuit challenging the Administrator's February 2, 2011 order denying 
an administrative petition to object to a July 14, 2010 response of the 
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment regarding the 
issuance of a renewed title V permit for Anadarko Petroleum 
Corporation's Frederick Compressor Station. The State of Colorado and 
Kerr-McGee Gathering LLC intervened as parties in the 10th Circuit 
action. Under the proposed settlement agreements, EPA would agree to 
undertake a pilot program for the purpose of studying, improving, and 
streamlining source determinations in the oil and gas industry in new 
or renewal Title V permits for which Region 8 is the initial Part 71 
permitting authority. The pilot program would begin upon the effective 
date of the settlement agreement in the EAB case and would continue for 
a duration equal to the earlier of two years or six Title V new or 
renewal permit applications for which Region 8 is the initial Part 71 
permitting authority. Additional information regarding the Region 8 
pilot program can be found in an attachment to the proposed settlement 
agreement for the EAB action, which is available in the docket for this 
action. Under the proposed settlement agreements, within 15 days of a 
fully executed settlement agreement in the EAB action, Guardians will 
file a motion with the EAB to dismiss with prejudice its pending 
petition for review in Appeal No. CAA 10-04 and the parties in the 
Tenth Circuit case will file an appropriate pleading for the dismissal 
of Guardians' petition for review with prejudice. All parties will bear 
their own costs and attorneys' fees.
    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 agreements from persons who were not named as 
parties or intervenors to the respective actions at issue. EPA or the 
Department of Justice may withdraw or withhold consent to the proposed 
settlements agreements 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 that consent to these settlements 
agreements should be withdrawn, the terms of the settlements agreements 
will be affirmed.
