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 Mossville Environmental Action Now, Louisiana Environmental Action Network, and Sierra Club (collectively, "Plaintiffs") in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia: Mossville Environmental Action Now, et al. v. EPA, No. 1:08-cv-01803 (D.D.C.). On October 22, 2008, Plaintiffs filed a complaint alleging that EPA failed to promulgate emission standards for major sources of hazardous air pollutant emissions from polyvinyl chloride and copolymers production facilities ("PVC Standards") as required under section 112(e)(1)(E) of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7412(e)(1)(E). The proposed settlement agreement establishes deadlines by which the Administrator must sign the proposed and final rules for PVC Standards.
