for Regional Haze'' 78 FR 8706 (Feb. 6, 2013) (the ``FIP Rule''), and 
EPA's final rule entitled ``Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality 
Implementation Plans; States of Michigan and Minnesota; Regional 
Haze,'' 78 FR 59825 (Sept. 30, 2013) (the ``SIP Rule''). Petitioners 
have raised various challenges to the FIP Rule and the SIP Rule 
associated with taconite facilities located in Minnesota and Michigan.
    The proposed settlement agreement states that, no later than June 
12, 2015, EPA will sign a notice of proposed rulemaking proposing 
changes to the FIP Rule that are substantially consistent with, and 
include numeric emission limits and time frames identical to those set 
forth in, Attachment A to the Settlement Agreement. The proposed 
settlement agreement also states that, if EPA signs by December 18, 
2015, a final rule amending the FIP Rule that is substantially 
consistent with, and includes numeric emission limits and time frames 
identical to those set forth in, Attachment A to the Settlement 
Agreement, then Petitioners and EPA shall promptly file an appropriate 
pleading for the dismissal of Case Nos. 13-1758, 13-1761, 13-2126, 13-
2129, 13-2130, 13-3573, 13-3575, 14-1710, and 14-1712 with prejudice, 
with each party to bear its own costs and attorneys' fees. The proposed 
settlement agreement further states that Petitioners waive any right to 
challenge in any court or administrative proceeding any portion of that 
final rule that is substantially consistent with, and includes numeric 
emission limits and time frames identical to those set forth in, 
Attachment A to the Settlement Agreement. Finally, the proposed 
settlement agreement states that nothing in the agreement shall be 
construed to limit or modify the discretion accorded EPA by the Act or 
by general principles of administrative law.
    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 agreement 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 
settlement agreement 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 settlement 
agreement should be withdrawn, the terms of the agreement will be

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 in paper, 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

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?

Please ensure that your comments are submitted within the specified

electronic public docket system is an ``anonymous access'' system, 
which means EPA will not know your identity, email address, or other
