    In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 C.F.R. Sec. 50.7, notice 
is hereby given that a proposed consent decree in United States v. MTP

the Clean Air Act (ACT) as part of the New York State Implementation

Part 234 by using non-compliant inks which contained excessive VOC 
emissions and operated since 1984 without required operating permits 
and certificates in violation of 6 NYCRR Part 201. Under the terms of 
the proposed consent decree, MTP will pay civil penalties in the amount
