Proposed Settlement; Acid Rain Core Rules Litigation
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of Proposed Settlement; Request for Public Comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with section 113(g) of the Clean Air Act
(``Act''), notice is hereby given of a proposed settlement of Alabama
Power Company, et al., v. United States Environmental Protection
Agency, No. 93-1611 (D.C. Cir.), and a proposed partial settlement of
Environmental Defense Fund v. Carol M. Browner, et al., No. 93-1203
(and consolidated cases) (D.C. Cir.).
The first case involves a challenge to a statement set forth by EPA
in the preamble of a proposed EPA action published in the Federal
Register on July 16, 1933, entitled ``Acid Rain Program: Notice of
Draft Permits and Public Comment Period.'' 58 FR 38370 (July 16, 1993).
The second case involves challenges by several parties to the acid
rain core rules published in the Federal Register on January 11, 1993,
at 58 FR 3590 (January 11, 1993). The proposed settlement related
principally to the substitution and reduced utilization provisions of
the January 11, 1993 rules.
For a period of thirty (30) days following the date of publication
of this notice, the Agency will receive written comments relating to
the settlements from persons who were not named as parties to the
litigation in question. EPA or the Department of Justice may withhold
or withdraw consent to the proposed settlement if the comments disclose
facts or circumstances that indicate that such consent is
inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or inconsistent with the
requirements of the Act. Copies of the settlement are available from
Phyllis Cochran, Air and Radiation Division (2344), Office of General
Counsel, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M Street, SW.,
Washington, DC 20460, (202) 260-7606. Written comments should be sent
to Patricia A. Embrey at the above address and must be submitted on or
before July 5, 1994.
Dated: May 23, 1994.
Jean C. Nelson,
General Counsel.
