Hi Christine,

Per your conversation with Sam, here is an updated version of the preamble showing you only the latest changes that Sam explained in track changes compared to the version he previously sent you at the end of last week.  The file should show you the tweaks to the Kansas SIP explanation on pages 26-27 of the document, as well as a limited set of typo corrections in tables near the end of the preamble (pages 41 and 68-70).  Sam asked me to send this to you as you and he work toward the goal of clearing the package tomorrow, which I greatly appreciate!

States District Court for the District of Columbia: Sierra Club v.
Perciasepe, No. 1:12-cv-01917 (D.D.C). On November 28, 2012, Sierra

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Additional Information About the Proposed Consent Decree

    The proposed consent decree would resolve a lawsuit filed by the
Sierra Club seeking to compel the Administrator to

take final action under section 110(k) of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7410(k),
on a SIP submittal for the State of Wyoming regarding the
infrastructure SIP requirements of the CAA with respect to the 1997
fine particulate matter National Ambient Air Quality Standard
(``NAAQS''). In addition, the proposed consent decree would require the
Agency to take final action on a SIP submittal for the State of
Connecticut regarding the attainment demonstration requirements of the
nonattainment SIP for the Greater Connecticut 1997 ozone NAAQS
nonattainment area.
    The proposed consent decree provides that no later than October 15,
2013, EPA shall sign a notice of the Agency's final rulemaking taking
action on the Wyoming SIP submittal. The proposed consent decree also
provides that no later than December 16, 2013, EPA shall sign a notice
of the Agency's final rulemaking taking action on the Connecticut SIP
submittal.
    Within 15 business days following signature of each final rule
described in the proposed consent decree, EPA is also required to send
the signed notice to the Office of the Federal Register for review and
publication in the Federal Register. After EPA fulfills all of its
obligations under the consent decree, the proposed consent decree
provides that this case shall be dismissed with prejudice.
    For a period of thirty (30) days following the date of publication
of this notice, the Agency will accept 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 withdraw or withhold consent to the proposed consent decree
if the comments disclose facts or considerations that indicate that
such consent is inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or inconsistent
with the requirements of the Act. Unless EPA or the Department of
Justice determines that consent to this consent decree should be
withdrawn, the terms of the decree will be affirmed.

II. Additional Information About Commenting on the Proposed Consent
Decree

A. how can I get a copy of the consent decree?

    The official public docket for this action (identified by Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-OGC-2013-0500) contains a copy of the proposed consent
decree. The official public docket is available for public viewing at
the Office of Environmental Information (OEI) Docket in the EPA Docket
Center, EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington,
DC. The EPA Docket Center Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to
4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The
telephone number for the Public Reading Room is<PHONE_NUMBER>, and the
telephone number for the OEI Docket is<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    An electronic version of the public docket is available through
www.regulations.gov. You may use www.regulations.gov to submit or view
public comments, access the index listing of the contents of the
official public docket, and to access those documents in the public
docket that are available electronically. Once in the system, key in
the appropriate docket identification number then select ``search''.
    It is important to note that EPA's policy is that public comments,
whether submitted electronically or in paper, will be made available
for public viewing online at www.regulations.gov without change, unless
the comment contains copyrighted material, CBI, or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Information claimed as CBI
and other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute is not
included in the official public docket or in the electronic public
docket. EPA's policy is that copyrighted material, including
copyrighted material contained in a public comment, will not be placed
in EPA's electronic public docket but will be available only in
printed, paper form in the official public docket. Although not all
docket materials may be available electronically, you may still access
any of the publicly available docket materials through the EPA Docket
Center.

B. How and to whom do I submit comments?

    You may submit comments as provided in the ADDRESSES section.
Please ensure that your comments are submitted within the specified
comment period. Comments received after the close of the comment period
will be marked ``late.'' EPA is not required to consider these late
comments.
    If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name, mailing address, and an email address or other
contact information in the body of your comment and with any disk or CD
ROM you submit. This ensures that you can be identified as the
submitter of the comment and allows EPA to contact you in case EPA
cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties or needs further
information on the substance of your comment. Any identifying or
contact information provided in the body of a comment will be included
as part of the comment that is placed in the official public docket,
and made available in EPA's electronic public docket. If EPA cannot
read your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you
for clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment.
    Use of the www.regulations.gov Web site to submit comments to EPA
electronically is EPA's preferred method for receiving comments. The
electronic public docket system is an ``anonymous access'' system,
which means EPA will not know your identity, email address, or other
contact information unless you provide it in the body of your comment.
In contrast to EPA's electronic public docket, EPA's electronic mail
(email) system is not an ``anonymous access'' system. If you send an
email comment directly to the Docket without going through
www.regulations.gov, your email address is automatically captured and
included as part of the comment that is placed in the official public
docket, and made available in EPA's electronic public docket.
