Proposed Settlement Agreement; PM-10 SIP for the State of Arizona

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed settlement agreement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with section 113(g) of the Clean Air Act 
(``Act''), as amended, 42 U.S.C. 7413(g), notice is hereby given of a 
proposed settlement agreement concerning litigation instituted against 
the Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'') by Edward M. Ober, et 
al., through his counsel Davis S. Baron of the Arizona Center for Law 
in the Public Interest. The lawsuit concerns EPA's alleged failure to 
perform a nondiscretionary duty with respect to promulgating a federal 
implementation plan (``FIP'') controlling particulate matter (``PM-
10'') emissions in the Phoenix, Arizona Planning Area.
    For a period of thirty (30) days following the date of publication 
of this notice, the Agency will receive written comments relating to 
the settlement agreement. EPA or the Department of Justice may withhold 
or withdraw consent to the proposed settlement agreement if the 
comments disclose facts or circumstances that indicate that such 
consent is inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or inconsistent with 
the requirements of the Act.
    Copies of the settlement agreement are available from Phyllis 
Cochran, Air and Radiation Division (2344), Office of General Counsel, 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M Street, SW., Washington, DC 
20460, (202) 260-7606. Written comments should be sent to Michael A. 
Prosper at the above address and must be submitted on or before January 
2, 1997.

    Dated: November 25, 1996.
Scott C. Fulton,
General Counsel.
