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: FMR BY NUMBER OF BEDROOMS IN UNIT FY 2013 FMR Area 0 BR 1 BR 2 BR 3 BR 4 BR Hood River County, OR ............................................................................................... $671 $701 $831 $1225 $1335 Dated: October 23, 2012.

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 15:12 Nov 28, 2012 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 Department of Environmental Quality v. Louisiana Generating LLC, Civ. No. 09– 100–JJB (M.D. La.) D.J. Ref. No. 90–5–2– 1–08529. All comments must be submitted no later than thirty (30) days after the publication date of this notice.
