Notice Of Proposed Agreement Regarding Alleged Non-Compliance 
with Consent Decree in United States v. Mack Trucks, Inc.

    Notice is hereby given of a proposed Agreement Regarding Alleged 
Non-Compliance with Consent Decree (``Agreement'') in the case of 
United States v. Mack Trucks, Inc., Civil Action No. 98-01495, in the 
United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The 
agreement was filed on May 7, 2008.
    The Agreement resolves a matter involving Mack's alleged failure to 
comply with a 1999 Consent Decree settling claims under Title II of the 
Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq. (the ``Act''), regarding the 
alleged use of illegal emission-control ``defeat devices'' on Mack's 
1998 and prior heavy-duty diesel engines (``HDDEs''). Specifically at 
issue is Mack's omission of 5786 engines from its Low NOX 
Rebuild Program.
    This violation is addressed through Mack's payment of an agreed 
penalty in the amount of $300,000, to be shared between the United 
States and the California Air Resources Board. Mack will also conduct a 
campaign to install 1200 additional Low NOX reflashes on 
eligible engines.
    The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30) 
days from the date of this publication comments relating to the 
Agreement. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney 
General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, P.O. Box 7611,
