DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Joint Motion for Modification of Amended 
Consent Decree, Which Resolved Action Under the Clean Air Act

    In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, please be 
advised that a proposed Joint Motion for Modification of Amended 
Consent Decree was lodged on November 9, 1998, in United States v. Ohio 
Power Company, C.A. No. 5:94-CV-100 (N.D.WVa), with the United States 
District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia (``District 
Court''). The Joint Motion extends a deadline of November 1, 1998, 
contained in the Amended Consent Decree. That deadline sets forth the 
date by which defendant must come into compliance at its Kammer power 
plant in Marshall County, West Virginia, with the sulfur dioxide 
limitation presently contained in the West Virginia State 
Implementation Plan (``SIP''), in the event that the State does not 
submit a revised SIP by October 1, 1999. Should the State fail to 
submit the SIP by that date, defendant must comply with the current 
sulfur dioxide limitation by December 31, 1999. The Amended Consent 
Decree resolved an action which the United States brought in 1994 
against Ohio Power under section 113 of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 
7413.
    Any comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General 
for the Environment and Natural Resources Division, Department of 
Justice, Washington, DC 20530, and should refer to United States v.
