In accordance with the Clean Air Act, as amended (CAA or the Act), notice is given of a proposed consent decree in Committee for a Better Arvin v. EPA, No. 3:25-cv-07375-EMC. On September 2, 2025, Plaintiffs Committee for a Better Arvin, Little Manila Rising, Medical Advocates for Healthy Air, and Sierra Club filed a complaint in the United States District Court, Northern District of California, San Francisco Division, alleging that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) failed to perform a nondiscretionary duty in accordance with the Act to determine whether the San Joaquin Valley area attained, or failed to attain, the 2006 fine particulate matter (PM<INF>2.5</INF>) national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) by the applicable attainment date. The EPA is providing notice of this proposed consent decree, which would resolve all claims in the case by establishing a deadline for the EPA to take final action as specified in the decree.
