In response to the lawsuit, EPA filed an answer on February 1, 2013, denying that the Administrator has a mandatory duty to promulgate RAVI BART for Sherco because EPA has not yet determined that visibility impairment at one or more Class I areas is reasonably attributable to emissions from Sherco. The proposed consent decree would require EPA to sign a proposed rule by February 27, 2015, and a final rule by August 31, 2015, in which EPA determines under 40 CFR 51.302(c)(4)(i) whether visibility impairment in Voyageurs National Park or Isle Royale National Park is reasonably attributable to Sherco. If EPA determines that visibility impairment in Voyageurs National Park or Isle Royale National Park is reasonably attributable to Sherco, then EPA’s final rulemaking shall also include EPA’s final determination of BART for Sherco.

This proposed rule was published by the EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on April 21, 2014 (79 FR 22188). Background: The SAB Panel for the Review of the EPA Water Body Connectivity Report was established to conduct a peer review of the EPA draft report titled Connectivity of Streams and Wetlands to Downstream Waters: A Review and Synthesis of the Scientific Evidence (September, 2013 External Review Draft, EPA/600/R–11/098B). The report was written to inform development of a rule proposed by the EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to clarify the definition of waters of the United States under the Clean Water Act (79 FR 22188). The Panel was charged with reviewing the overall clarity and technical accuracy of the EPA draft report, whether it included and correctly summarized the most relevant peer-reviewed scientific literature, and whether the findings and conclusions were supported by the available science. To conduct the peer review, the Panel held a face-to-face meeting on December 16–18, 2013 [Federal Register Notice dated September 24, 2013 (78 FR 58536)], public teleconferences on April 28 and May 2, 2014 [Federal Register Notice dated April 1, 2014 (79 FR 18293)], and a public teleconference on June 19, 2014 [Federal Register Notice dated May 23, 2014 (79 FR 29760)].

The ERDDAA requires the EPA to make available to the SAB proposed criteria documents, standards, limitations, or regulations provided to any other federal agency for formal review and comment together with the relevant scientific and technical information on which the proposed action is based. The SAB may then make available to the Administrator its advice and comments on the adequacy of the scientific and technical basis of the proposed actions. The purpose of the upcoming teleconferences is for the SAB Panel to develop comments to the chartered SAB on the adequacy of the scientific and technical basis of the proposed rule cited above.

Conservation Association, et al., (``Plaintiffs') in the United States 
District Court for the District of Minnesota: National Parks 
Conservation Association v. McCarthy, Civil Action No. 12-3043 (RHK/
JSM) (D. Minn.). On December 5, 2012, Plaintiffs filed a complaint 
alleging that Gina McCarthy, in her official capacity as Administrator 
of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA''), failed 
to perform a mandatory duty to respond to a 2009 certification by the 
Department of the Interior (``DOI'') that visibility impairment in 
Minnesota's Voyageurs National Park and Michigan's Isle Royale National 
Park is reasonably attributable to emissions from Xcel Energy's coal-

The proposed consent decree would establish deadlines for EPA to take

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Additional Information About the Proposed Consent Decree

    The proposed consent decree would address a lawsuit filed by 
Plaintiffs alleging that EPA failed to perform a mandatory duty 
pursuant to 40 CFR 51.302(c)(4)(iii) and (iv) to promulgate a federal 
reasonably attributable visibility impairment best available retrofit 
technology (``RAVI BART'') determination for the Sherco power plant in 
Minnesota in response to the DOI's October 21, 2009 certification. In 
response to the lawsuit, EPA filed an answer on February 1, 2013, 
denying that the Administrator has a mandatory duty to promulgate RAVI 
BART for Sherco because EPA has not yet determined that visibility 
impairment at one or more Class I areas is reasonably attributable to 
emissions from Sherco. The proposed consent decree would require EPA to 
sign a proposed rule by February 27, 2015, and a final rule by August 
31, 2015, in which EPA determines under 40 CFR 51.302(c)(4)(i) whether 
visibility impairment in Voyageurs National Park or Isle Royale 
National Park is reasonably attributable to Sherco. If EPA determines 
that visibility impairment in Voyageurs National Park or Isle Royale 
National Park is reasonably attributable to Sherco, then EPA's final 
rulemaking shall also include EPA's final determination of BART for 
Sherco. However, if EPA determines that visibility impairment in 
neither Voyageurs National Park nor Isle Royale National Park is 
reasonably attributable to Sherco, then BART for Sherco will not be 
required. In addition, the proposed consent decree states that if EPA 
signs a proposed rule by February 27, 2015, and a final rule by August 
31, 2015, in which EPA either approves a State Implementation Plan 
(``SIP'') or promulgates a Federal Implementation Plan (``FIP'') under 
40 CFR 51.308 that includes a final determination of BART for Sherco, 
then EPA's obligation is fulfilled. The proposed consent decree also 
resolves any claim the Plaintiffs have for the costs of litigation, 
including attorney 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 consent decree from persons who are not named as parties or 
interveners 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 that consent to this consent decree should be 
withdrawn, the terms of the consent decree will be affirmed.
