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, to address a lawsuit filed by Rocky Mountain Clean Air Action ("RMCAA") in the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit: Rocky Mountain Clean Air Action v. EPA, No. 07-1012 (D.C. Cir.). Petitioner filed a petition for review challenging EPA's final rule entitled "Final Extension of the Deferred Effective Date for 8-Hour Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards ("NAAQS") for Early Action Compact Areas," 71 FR 69022 (Nov. 29, 2006). Under the terms of the proposed settlement agreement, deadlines have been established for EPA and the State of Colorado to take specific actions related to the Denver Early Action Compact ("Denver EAC") area. Petitioner's sole remedy if EPA or the State fails to take one of these actions is to request the court to lift the stay and to set a briefing schedule.
