In accordance with section 113(g) of the Clean Air Act, as amended ("Act"), 42 U.S.C. 7413(g) notice is hereby given of a proposed Settlement Agreement, to address a lawsuit (the "lawsuit") filed by four environmental groups, consisting of Louisiana Environmental Action Network, North Baton Rouge Environmental Association, Save Our Lakes and Ducks, and Southern University Environmental Law Society, represented by Tulane Environmental Law Clinic (collectively, "LEAN"). LEAN petitioned for judicial review of a final rule ("the Rule") promulgated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") on July 2, 1999, published at 64 FR 35930, approving the revised Post-1996 Rate-of-Progress ("ROP"), Attainment Demonstration, and Contingency Measures State Implementation Plans for the Baton Rouge ozone nonattainment area. Louisiana Environmental Action Network, et al., v. United States Environmental Protection Agency, No. 99-60570 (5th Cir.). These State Implementation Plan ("SIP") revisions were submitted by the State of Louisiana, through its Department of Environmental Quality ("LDEQ"), pursuant to the Act.
