SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FY
2012 FMRs for Hood River County, OR,
were over 20 percent lower than they
were in FY 2011. While FMRs for Hood
River County increased in FY 2013, they
were still about 10 percent lower than
they were in FY 2011. The PHA was
having trouble managing its program
with these lower FMR levels and so they
conducted a survey of rents for Hood
River County. The results of this survey
were provided to HUD in midSeptember, which was too late in the
FMR review process to be included in
the FY 2013 FMR final notice.
HUD has reviewed the survey data
and determined that the FY 2013 FMRs
for Hood River County, OR, are revised
as follows:

Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the Clean Air
Act
On November 20, 2012, the
Department of Justice lodged a proposed
consent decree with the United States
District Court for the Middle District of
Louisiana in the lawsuit entitled United
States and Louisiana Department of
Environmental Quality v. Louisiana
Generating LLC, Civ. No. 09–100–JJB
(M.D. La.).
The United States filed a complaint in
February 2009, seeking injunctive relief
and civil penalties for violations of the
Prevention of Significant Deterioration
(‘‘PSD’’) provisions of the Clean Air Act
(‘‘CAA’’), 42 U.S.C. 7470–92; the
federally approved PSD regulations
contained in the Louisiana State
Implementation Plan (‘‘SIP’’); and the
federally approved Louisiana Title V
program, 42 U.S.C. 7661a–76661f (‘‘Title
V’’) at the Big Cajun II, the Defendant’s
coal fired power plant in New Roads,
Louisiana.. The Louisiana Department
of Environmental Quality (‘‘LDEQ’’)
filed a complaint in February 2010
alleging the same violations as are in the
United States’ complaint.
The complaints allege that Louisiana
Generating failed to obtain appropriate
permits and failed to install and operate
required pollution control devices to
reduce emissions of various air
pollutants at two coal-fired generating
units at the company’s Big Cajun II
plant. The proposed consent decree
would require Louisiana Generating to
reduce harmful emissions of sulfur
dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOX)
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
through emission control requirements
and limitations specified by the
proposed Decree, including installation
and operation of new pollution controls,
natural gas conversion, and annual
emission caps at all three units at the
Big Cajun II plant. Louisiana Generating
will also spend $10.5 million to fund
environmental mitigation projects that
will further reduce emissions and
benefit communities adversely affected
by pollution from the Big Cajun II plant,
and pay a civil penalty of $3.5 million.
The State of Louisiana will receive
$1.75 million, one-half of the $3.5
million civil penalty.
The publication of this notice opens
a period for public comment on the
proposed consent decree. Comments
should be addressed to the Assistant
Attorney General, Environment and
Natural Resources Division, and should
refer to United States and Louisiana
