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

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
