Sierra Club v. EPA, No. 94-0553(PLF) (D.D.C.) and Sierra Club v. EPA,

No. 94-0954(PLF) (D.D.C.).

These actions involve a lawsuit filed under section 304(a)(2) of

allegations concerning EPA's obligations under various sections of the

Clean Air Act as amended in 1990. In particular, these actions involve

was allegedly under a non-discretionary to complete on or before

November 15, 1993.

For a period of thirty (30) days following the date of publication

of this notice, the Agency will receive written comments relating to

the proposed consent decree from persons who were not named as parties

or intervenors to the litigation in question. EPA or the Department of

Justice may withhold or withdraw consent to the consent decree if the

comments disclose facts or circumstances that indicate that such

consent is inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or inconsistent with

the requirements of the Clean Air Act.

A copy of the proposed consent decree was lodged with the clerk of

the United States District Court for the District of Columbia on

October 28, 1994. Copies are also available by calling Phyllis J.

Cochran, Air and Radiation Division (2344), Office of General Counsel,
