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.
