SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Additional Information About the
Proposed Consent Decree
On October 17, 2011, EPA proposed
to partially approve and to partially
disapprove a revision to the Arkansas
SIP intended to address the regional
haze requirements of the Clean Air Act.
76 F R 64186. In that same action, EPA
also proposed to partially disapprove
the portion of the Arkansas’ interstate
transport SIP submittal addressing the
visibility requirement of section
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) of the Clean Air Act
for the 1997 ozone NAAQS and the
1997 PM2.5 NAAQS. On March 12, 2012,
EPA finalized its partial approval and
disapproval of the Arkansas Regional
Haze and Interstate Transport SIP
submittals. 77 F R 14604. When EPA
disapproves a SIP submission in whole
or in part, section 110(c) of the Act
requires EPA to promulgate a FIP within
two years unless the State corrects the
deficiency and EPA approves the plan
revision. Sierra Club filed a complaint
in the United States District Court for
the Northern District of California in
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:14 Mar 19, 2015
Jkt 235001
August 2014 alleging that EPA had
failed to promulgate a FIP for Arkansas
as required by the Clean Air Act. That
case was transferred to the United State
District Court for the Eastern District of
Arkansas in October 2014.
The proposed consent decree would
resolve the lawsuit filed by the Sierra
Club by establishing that EPA must take
proposed action by March 16, 2015 and
final action by December 15, 2015 to
address the deficiencies in the Arkansas
SIP that were identified by EPA in its
March 12, 2012 action. See the proposed
consent decree for the specific details.
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 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decree should be withdrawn, the terms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–2015–0162) contains a

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 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

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

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,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Additional Information About the Proposed Consent Decree
On October 17, 2011, EPA proposed to partially approve and to
partially disapprove a revision to the Arkansas SIP intended to address
the regional haze requirements of the Clean Air Act. 76 F R 64186. In
that same action, EPA also proposed to partially disapprove the portion
of the Arkansas' interstate transport SIP submittal addressing the
visibility requirement of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) of the Clean Air
Act for the 1997 ozone NAAQS and the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS. On
March 12, 2012, EPA finalized its partial approval and disapproval of
the Arkansas Regional Haze and Interstate Transport SIP submittals. 77
F R 14604. When EPA disapproves a SIP submission in whole or in part,
section 110(c) of the Act requires EPA to promulgate a FIP within two
years unless the State corrects the deficiency and EPA approves the
plan revision. Sierra Club filed a complaint in the United States
District Court for the Northern District of California in August 2014
alleging that EPA had failed to promulgate a FIP for Arkansas as
required by the Clean Air Act. That case was transferred to the United
State District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas in October
2014.
The proposed consent decree would resolve the lawsuit filed by the
Sierra Club by establishing that EPA must take proposed action by March
16, 2015 and final action by December 15, 2015 to address the
deficiencies in the Arkansas SIP that were identified by EPA in its
March 12, 2012 action. See the proposed consent decree for the specific
details.
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 that consent to this consent decree should be
withdrawn, the terms of the decree will be affirmed.

Decree

The official public docket for this action (identified by Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-OGC-2015-0162) 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 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
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
(e-mail)
[[Page 15001]]
system is not an ``anonymous access'' system. If you send an email
comment directly to the Docket without going 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: March 12, 2015.

Associate General Counsel.
