ACTION: Notice of proposed settlement agreement; 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 agreement concerning litigation instituted against the Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'') by Citizens for Balanced Transportation (``CBT''). The law suite concerns EPA's alleged failure to perform a nondiscretionary duty with respect to taking action on state implementation plans (``SIPs'') regulating carbon monoxide (``CO'') and particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal ten micrometers (``PM-10'') emissions, and/or promulgating a federal implementation plan (``FIP'') as to these control requirements for the Denver Metropolitan Area in the State of Colorado. The proposed settlement agreement generally provides for EPA to sign, within a specified timeframe, a Notice of Final Rulemaking (``NFRM'') regarding each of the above-mentioned SIPs. 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 agreement. EPA or the Department of Justice may withhold or withdraw consent to the proposed settlement agreement if the comments disclose facts or circumstances that indicate that such consent is inappropriate, [[Page 52942]] improper, inadequate, or inconsistent with the requirements of the Act. Copies of the settlement agreement are available from Phyllis Cochran, Air and Radiation Division (2344), Office of General Counsel, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M Street, SW, Washington, D.C. 20460, (202) 260-7606.
