Proposed Consent Decree, Clean Air Act Citizen Suit

In accordance with section 113(g) of the Clean Air Act, as amended ("CAA"), notice is hereby given of a proposed consent decree, to address a lawsuit filed by Sierra Club in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia: Sierra Club v. Jackson, No. 1: 12- cv-00705 (CKK). On May 2, 2012, the Plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint alleging that EPA failed to perform nondiscretionary duties under the Clean Air Act. Specifically, the Plaintiff alleged that EPA failed to take timely action to approve, disapprove, or approve in part and disapprove in part, pursuant to CAA, the state implementation plan ("SIP") submission made by Oklahoma on July 16, 2010, that is captioned "Excess Emissions Reporting Requirements" (referred to herein as "OK SIP"). The proposed consent decree establishes deadlines for EPA to take proposed and final action on the OK SIP. The proposed consent decree also provides that once EPA has completed the actions specified in the decree the case will be dismissed with prejudice.
