Proposed Settlement Agreement

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed settlement agreement; request for public 
comment.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with section 113(g) of the Clean Air Act, as 
amended, 42 U.S.C. 7413(g), notice is hereby given of a proposed 
settlement agreement in Eramet Marietta, Inc., v. EPA, No. 99-1290 
(D.C. Cir.).
    This case concerns a challenge to the rule entitled National 
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Ferroalloys 
Production, published in the Federal Register at 64 FR 27450 on May 20, 
1999. The proposed settlement provides for EPA to propose revisions to 
the Ferroalloys rule that would amend the emission standards applicable 
to ferromanganese and silicomanganese production in open submerged arc 
furnaces and extend the compliance deadline by six months.
    For a period of thirty (30) days following the date of publication 
of this notice, EPA will receive written comments relating to the 
settlement from persons who were not named as parties to the litigation 
in question. EPA or the Department of Justice may withhold or withdraw 
consent to the proposed settlement 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 are available from Phyllis Cochran, (202) 564-
5566. Written comments should be sent to Jon Devine at Air and 
Radiation Division (2344A), Office of General Counsel, U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20460, and must be submitted on or before April 27, 
2001.

Anna L. Wolgast,
Acting General Counsel.
