In accordance with section the Clean Air Act, as amended (``CAA'' or the ``Act''), notice is given of a proposed consent decree in Association of Irritated Residents v. EPA, No. 4:21-cv-426-JST (N.D. CA.).

The SJV PM2.5 Plan includes measures intended to control emissions of fine particulate matter and its precursors within the San Joaquin Valley for purposes of attaining the 1997 annual and 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS, 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS and 2012 annual PM2.5 NAAQS. The proposed consent decree would establish deadlines for EPA to take final actions on the portions of the SJV PM2.5 Plan that address requirements for the various PM2.5 NAAQS by specific dates.
