When the violator brings itself into complete compliance during the sixty-day period, the plaintiff is not procedurally barred from bringing the suit. These interests are protected not through the statute itself but through the Article III requirement of a case or controversy. (emphasis added) (quoting Gwaltney, 484 U.S. "Second, notice gives the alleged violator 'an opportunity to bring itself into complete compliance with the Act and thus likewise render unnecessary a citizen suit.' " Id. "First, notice allows Government agencies to take responsibility for enforcing environmental regulations, thus obviating the need for citizen suits." Hallstrom, 493 U.S. Notice serves two important and interrelated purposes. It affects the litigation only if plaintiff files prematurely, thereby forcing the court to dismiss the action. Section 1270(b) is merely a procedural requirement. The party asserting jurisdiction "bears the burden of establishing these elements." Lujan, 504 U.S. "Third, it must be 'likely,' as opposed to merely 'speculative,' that the injury will be 'redressed by a favorable decision.' " Id.
