DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Lodging of Partial Consent Decrees Pursuant to the Clean Air Act

    In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is 
hereby given that a proposed partial consent decree in United States v. 
New York City Board of Education, et al., Civil Action No. 89-0856, was 
lodged on April 14, 1994 with the United States District Court for the 
Eastern District of New York. Defendant New York City Board of 
Education (New York) owns and operates schools in the New York City 
metropolitan area. New York contracted with Defendants Hollywood 
Commercial Renewals, Inc. (Hollywood) and A. Grgas Contracting, Inc. 
(Grgas) to undertake renovation activities at schools in New York City. 
Hollywood and Grgas engaged in these renovation activities but neither 
they nor New York notified the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of 
these activities, in violation of the Clean Air Act (Act) and the 
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPS) for 
asbestos. Under the terms of the proposed partial consent decree, 
Hollywood and Grgas will pay civil penalties in the amounts of $3,500 
and $1,500, respectively and agree to be enjoined from further 
violations of the Act and the NESHAPS.
