After the complaint was filed, EPA received nonattainment SIP submissions from Iowa and Puerto Rico addressing the requirements of CAA section 110(a)(2)(I) for the designated areas and EPA determined that the submissions were administratively complete. Accordingly, Plaintiffs would agree that this allegation is now moot. The proposed consent decree also addresses the allegation that EPA failed to perform a duty mandated by CAA section 110(k)(2)–(4), 42 U.S.C. 7410(k)(2)–(4), to take final action to approve or disapprove, in whole or in part, certain 2008 lead NAAQS nonattainment SIP submissions from Florida (Tampa/Hillsborough area), Minnesota (Eagan area), Texas (Frisco area), Indiana (Muncie area), and Ohio (Cleveland and Delta areas) addressing the requirements of 42 U.S.C. 7410(a)(2)(I). Based on several factors, Plaintiffs would agree to withdraw their claim with respect to the Frisco area and would agree that the allegation with respect to the Tampa/Hillsborough area is now moot. Additionally, the proposed consent decree addresses Plaintiffs’ allegation that EPA failed to perform a duty mandated by CAA section 110(k)(2)–(4), 42 U.S.C. 7410(k)(2)–(4), to take final action to approve or disapprove, in whole or in part, North Carolina’s infrastructure SIP submission addressing the requirements of 42 U.S.C. 7410(a)(2) for the 2008 lead NAAQS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Additional Information About the Proposed Consent Decree

    The proposed consent decree would resolve a lawsuit filed by the 
Plaintiffs seeking to compel the Administrator to take actions under 
CAA section 110(k) regarding several SIP submissions for the 2008 lead 
NAAQS.
    The proposed consent decree addresses the Plaintiffs' allegation 
that EPA has failed to perform a duty mandated by CAA section 
110(k)(1)(B), 42 U.S.C. 7410(k)(1)(B), to find that Iowa and Puerto 
Rico failed to submit nonattainment SIPs for the Pottawattamie and 
Arecibo areas designated nonattainment for the 2008 lead NAAQS. After 
the complaint was filed, EPA received nonattainment SIP submissions 
from Iowa and Puerto Rico addressing the requirements of CAA section 
110(a)(2)(I) for the designated areas and EPA determined that the 
submissions were administratively complete. Accordingly, Plaintiffs 
would agree that this allegation is now moot.
    The proposed consent decree also addresses the allegation that EPA 
failed to perform a duty mandated by CAA section 110(k)(2)-(4), 42 
U.S.C. 7410(k)(2)-(4), to take final action to approve or disapprove, 
in whole or in part, certain 2008 lead NAAQS nonattainment SIP 
submissions from Florida (Tampa/Hillsborough area), Minnesota (Eagan 
area), Texas (Frisco area), Indiana (Muncie area), and Ohio (Cleveland 
and Delta areas) addressing the requirements of 42 U.S.C. 
7410(a)(2)(I). Based on several factors, Plaintiffs would agree to 
withdraw their claim with respect to the Frisco area and would agree 
that the allegation with respect to the Tampa/Hillsborough area is now 
moot. Additionally, the proposed consent decree addresses Plaintiffs' 
allegation that EPA failed to perform a duty mandated by CAA section 
110(k)(2)-(4), 42 U.S.C. 7410(k)(2)-(4), to take final action to 
approve or disapprove, in whole or in part, North Carolina's 
infrastructure SIP submission addressing the requirements of 42 U.S.C. 
7410(a)(2) for the 2008 lead NAAQS. The proposed consent decree 
establishes deadlines for EPA final actions to meet these obligations. 
See the proposed consent decree for further 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 
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 decree will be affirmed.

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 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: July 29, 2015.
Lorie J. Schmidt,
Associate General Counsel.
