    following cases: Chemical Manufacturers Association v. U.S. EPA, Nos. 
    94-1463 and 94-1465 (D.C. Cir.).
        These consolidated cases, filed by the Chemical Manufacturers 
    Association and the Dow Chemical Company, involve challenges to the

    EPA under section 112(d) of the Clean Air Act for the synthetic organic 
    chemical manufacturing industry. See 59 FR 19402 (April 22, 1994). 
    (Codified at 40 CFR part 63, subparts F, G, H and I).
        For a period of thirty (30) days following the date of publication 
    of this notice, the Agency will receive written comments relating to 
    the settlement 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.
        A copy of the settlement has been lodged with the Clerk of the 
    United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. 
    Copies of the settlement are also available from Jacqueline Jordan, Air
