SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Additional Information About the
Proposed Consent Decree
The proposed consent decree would
resolve a lawsuit filed by Sierra Club
seeking to compel EPA to promulgate
emission standards for hazardous air
pollutant emissions from brick and
structural clay products manufacturing
facilities and clay ceramics
manufacturing facilities located at major
sources under section 112(e)(1)(E) of the
CAA. Under the proposed consent
decree, EPA shall no later than August
30, 2013, sign a notice of proposed
rulemaking to set national emission
standards for hazardous air pollutants
(‘‘NESHAP’’) pursuant to section 112(d)
of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7412(d), for brick
and structural clay products
manufacturing facilities and clay
ceramics manufacturing facilities
located at major sources. In addition,
under the proposed consent decree, EPA
shall no later than July 31, 2014, sign a
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:05 Dec 06, 2012
Jkt 229001
notice of final rulemaking to set
NESHAP for the source categories
covered by the proposed rule.
The proposed consent decree further
requires that, within 10 business days of
signing a proposed or final rule, EPA
shall deliver a notice of such action to
the Office of the Federal Register for
publication and that once EPA fulfills
its obligations under the decree it may
move to have the decree terminated.
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
consent decree 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
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. Unless
EPA or the Department of Justice
determines, based on any comment
submitted, that consent to this consent
decree should be withdrawn, the terms
of the decree will be affirmed.
II. Additional Information About
Commenting on the Proposed Consent
Decree
A. How can I get a copy of the consent
decree?
The official public docket for this
action (identified by Docket ID No.
EPA–HQ–OGC–2012–0905) contains a
copy of the proposed consent decree.
The official public docket is available
for public viewing at the Office of
Environmental Information (OEI) Docket
in the EPA Docket Center, EPA West,
Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave.
NW., Washington, DC. The EPA Docket
Center Public Reading Room is open
from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday
through Friday, excluding legal
holidays. The telephone number for the
Public Reading Room is (202) 566–1744,
and the telephone number for the OEI
Docket is (202) 566–1752.
An electronic version of the public
docket is available through
www.regulations.gov. You may use
www.regulations.gov to submit or view
public comments, access the index
listing of the contents of the official
public docket, and to access those
documents in the public docket that are
available electronically. Once in the
system, key in the appropriate docket
identification number then select
‘‘search’’.
It is important to note that EPA’s
policy is that public comments, whether
submitted electronically or on paper,
PO 00000
Frm 00023
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
will be made available for public
viewing online at www.regulations.gov
without change, unless the comment
contains copyrighted material, CBI, or
other information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute. Information
claimed as CBI and other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute
is not included in the official public
docket or in the electronic public
docket. EPA’s policy is that copyrighted
material, including copyrighted material
contained in a public comment, will not
be placed in EPA’s electronic public
docket but will be available only in
printed, paper form in the official public
docket. Although not all docket
materials may be available
electronically, you may still access any
of the publicly available docket
materials through the EPA Docket
Center.
B. How and to whom do I submit
comments?
You may submit comments as
provided in the ADDRESSES section.
Please ensure that your comments are
submitted within the specified comment
period. Comments received after the
close of the comment period will be
marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not required to
consider these late comments.
If you submit an electronic comment,
EPA recommends that you include your
name, mailing address, and an email
address or other contact information in
the body of your comment and with any
disk or CD–ROM you submit. This
ensures that you can be identified as the
submitter of the comment and allows
EPA to contact you in case EPA cannot
read your comment due to technical
difficulties or needs further information
on the substance of your comment. Any
identifying or contact information
provided in the body of a comment will
be included as part of the comment that
is placed in the official public docket,
and made available in EPA’s electronic
public docket. If EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties
and cannot contact you for clarification,
EPA may not be able to consider your
comment.
Use of the www.regulations.gov Web
site to submit comments to EPA
electronically is EPA’s preferred method
for receiving comments. The electronic
public docket system is an ‘‘anonymous
access’’ system, which means EPA will
not know your identity, email address,
or other contact information unless you
provide it in the body of your comment.
In contrast to EPA’s electronic public
docket, EPA’s electronic mail (email)
system is not an ‘‘anonymous access’’
system. If you send an email comment
directly to the Docket without going
E:\FR\FM\07DEN1.SGM
07DEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 236 / Friday, December 7, 2012 / Notices
through www.regulations.gov, your
email address is automatically captured
and included as part of the comment
that is placed in the official public
docket, and made available in EPA’s
electronic public docket.

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE
CORPORATION
Determination of Insufficient Assets To
Satisfy Claims Against Financial
Institution in Receivership
Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC).
ACTION: Notice; correction.
AGENCY:
The FDIC has determined that
insufficient assets exist in the
receivership of Darby Bank and Trust
Co., Vidalia, Georgia, to make any
distribution on general unsecured
claims, and therefore such claims will
recover nothing and have no value.
DATES: The FDIC made its determination
on November 19, 2012.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If
you have questions regarding this
notice, you may contact an FDIC Claims
Agent at (904) 256–3925. Written
correspondence may also be mailed to
FDIC as Receiver of Darby Bank and
Trust Co., Attention: Claims Agent, 8800
Baymeadows Way West, Jacksonville,
FL 32256.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
November 12, 2010, Darby Bank and
Trust Co., Vidalia, Georgia, (FIN
#10312) was closed by the Georgia
Department of Banking and Finance,
and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (‘‘FDIC’’) was appointed as
its receiver (‘‘Receiver’’). In complying
with its statutory duty to resolve the
institution in the method that is least
costly to the deposit insurance fund (see
12 U.S.C. 1823(c)(4)), the FDIC
facilitated a transaction with Ameris
Bank, Moultrie, Georgia, to acquire all of
the deposits and most of the assets of
the failed institution.
Section 11(d)(11)(A) of the FDI Act,
12 U.S.C. 1821(d)(11)(A), sets forth the
order of priority for distribution of
amounts realized from the liquidation or
other resolution of an insured
depository institution to pay claims.
Under the statutory order of priority,
administrative expenses and deposit
liabilities must be paid in full before
any distribution may be made to general
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with
SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:05 Dec 06, 2012
Jkt 229001
unsecured creditors or any lower
priority claims.
As of September 30, 2012, the
maximum value of assets that could be
available for distribution by the
Receiver, together with maximum
possible recoveries on professional
liability claims against directors,
officers, and other professionals, as well
as potential tax refunds, was
$125,488,526. As of the same date,
administrative expenses and depositor
liabilities equaled $173,303,177,
exceeding available assets and potential
recoveries by at least $47,814,651.
Accordingly, the FDIC has determined
that insufficient assets exist to make any
distribution on general unsecured
creditor claims (and any lower priority
claims) and therefore all such claims,
asserted or unasserted, will recover
nothing and have no value.
On November 27, 2011, the FDIC
published a notice in the Federal
Register (77 FR 70779), incorrectly
reciting that the date of determination
was November 11, 2012. This correction
recites the actual date of determination.
Dated: November 28, 2012.

Center.
B. How and to whom do I submit comments?
You may submit comments as provided in the ADDRESSES section.
Please ensure that your comments are submitted within the specified
comment period. Comments received after the close of the comment period
will be marked ``late.'' EPA is not required to consider these late
comments.
If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name, mailing address, and an email address or other
contact information in the body of your comment and with any disk or
CD-ROM you submit. This ensures that you can be identified as the
submitter of the comment and allows EPA to contact you in case EPA
cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties or needs further
information on the substance of your comment. Any identifying or
contact information provided in the body of a comment will be included
as part of the comment that is placed in the official public docket,
and made available in EPA's electronic public docket. If EPA cannot
read your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you
for clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment.
Use of the www.regulations.gov Web site to submit comments to EPA
electronically is EPA's preferred method for receiving comments. The
electronic public docket system is an ``anonymous access'' system,
which means EPA will not know your identity, email address, or other
contact information unless you provide it in the body of your comment.
In contrast to EPA's electronic public docket, EPA's electronic mail
(email) system is not an ``anonymous access'' system. If you send an
email comment directly to the Docket without going
[[Page 73031]]
through www.regulations.gov, your email address is automatically
captured and included as part of the comment that is placed in the
official public docket, and made available in EPA's electronic public
docket.
Dated: November 29, 2012.
