I. Additional Information About the
Proposed Consent Decree
The proposed consent decree would
resolve a lawsuit filed by the Plaintiffs
seeking to compel EPA to take actions
required under CAA section 110(k)(2)–
(4). The Plaintiffs’ lawsuit alleged that
EPA has a mandatory duty to take final
action to approve or disapprove, in
whole or in part, the portions of the
South Coast Air Quality Management
District’s Final 2012 Air Quality
Management Plan that address
attainment of the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS.
California made this SIP submission on
February 13, 2013. The submission was
complete by operation of law on August
13, 2013. Section 110(k)(2) requires EPA
to take action on a SIP submission
within one year of the date it is
complete. The Plaintiffs allege that EPA
had a mandatory duty to take action on
the submission by August 13, 2014.
Under the terms of the proposed
consent decree, EPA must take final
action no later than March 15, 2016,
with respect to this claim. 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 are
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
proposed consent decree should be
withdrawn, the terms of the consent
decree will be affirmed. EPA published
a prior notice of this proposed consent
decree on October 21, 2015. In order to
assure that all parties have notice of the
proposed consent decree, EPA is
providing this additional notice and
opportunity to comment upon the
proposed consent decree pursuant to
section 113(g).
II. Additional Information About
Commenting on the Proposed Consent
Decree
A. How can I get a copy of the proposed
consent decree?
The official public docket for this
action (identified by EPA–HQ–OGC–

proposed consent decree. The official

viewing at the Office of Environmental

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 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 (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.
