On June 4, 2018, the Center for Biological Diversity, Center for Environmental Health, and Sierra Club filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, and filed an amended complaint on December 17, 2018, alleging that the Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") failed to perform non-discretionary duties to take final action to approve or disapprove, in whole or in part, certain state implementation plans ("SIPs") submitted to meet attainment requirements under the 2010 primary sulfur dioxide ("SO 2 ") national ambient air quality standard ("NAAQS"), and to make findings of failure to submit SIPs for certain areas for the 1971 or 2010 primary SO 2 NAAQS. The proposed consent decree would establish deadlines for EPA to take specified actions.
