Proposed Settlement Agreement, Clean Air Act Citizen Suit

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, which was lodged with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York by the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") on August 31, 2001, to address a lawsuit filed by the New York Public Interest Research Group "NYPIRG"). NYPIRG filed a complaint pursuant to section 304(a)(2) of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 7604(a)(2), alleging that EPA had failed to perform an act which is not discretionary. Specifically, NYPIRG alleged that EPA failed to respond to citizen petitions to object to three operating permits within the time provided in section 505(b)(2) of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 7661d((b)(2). NYPIRG, Inc. v. Whitman, No. 00 Civ. 9394 (S.D.N.Y.).
