DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Clean Air Act

    In accordance with Departmental Policy and 28 CFR 50.7, notice is 
hereby given that a proposed Consent Decree in United States of America 
v. Sun Co. Inc. (R&M), Civil Action No. 97-CV-104H, was lodged in the 
United States District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma on 
August 14, 1997. The proposed Consent Decree settles the United States 
claims for injunctive relief and civil penalties in the Complaint.
    Under the terms of the proposed Agreement and Order, Sun Co. Inc. 
(R&M) (``Sun'') will pay a civil penalty, perform two supplemental 
environmental projects (``SEPs''), and perform injunctive relief. The 
cash amount of the civil penalty is $100,000. The first SEP will reduce 
the reid vapor pressure of the 87 octane gasoline sold through non-
pipeline transactions in the Tulsa area during the 1997 Ozone Season 
from 8.2 to 8.0. The second SEP will provide $50,000 worth of free bus 
service in Tulsa County on ozone alert days. The injunctive relief 
requires Sun to maintain individually numbered car seals on valves 
controlling the flow of refinery fuel gas to specified devices and to 
keep a log of the car seal numbers and valve positions.
    The Department of Justice will receive, for a period of thirty (30) 
days from the date of this publication, written comments relating to 
the proposed Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the 
Assistant Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources 
Division, Department of Justice, Washington, D.C. 20530, and should

5-2-1-2076.

of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1445 Ross Avenue, Dallas,
