DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Proposed Order To Amend the Consent Decree 
Under the Clean Air Act

    Notice is hereby given that on July 10, 2008, a proposed Order to 
amend the Consent Decree in United States v. Premier Industries, Inc., 
Civil Action No. ED CV 07-01092 (SGL) (OPx), was lodged with the United 
States District Court for the Central District of California.
    The proposed Order modifies the Consent Decree entered by the Court 
in this matter in January 2008. The Consent Decree resolved the United 
States' claims against Premier under Section 113(b) of the Clean Air 
Act (``CAA''), 42 U.S.C. 7413(b), for alleged violations of the CAA and 
the federally approved California State Implementation Plan, including 
South Coast Air Quality Management District Rule 1175, at an expandable 
polystyrene foam block manufacturing facility it owned in Chino, CA 
(``Facility''). The proposed Order allows the Defendant to utilize, 
under prescribed operating parameters, two Newly-Identified EPS Beads 
(``NIEPS Bead'') which EPA has approved for use at the Facility. The 
proposed Order also establishes a process whereby Defendant can request 
approval, from EPA and without further action by the Court, to use 
additional NIEPS Bead.
    The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30) 
days from the date of this publication, comments relating to the 
proposed Order. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney 
General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and either e-
mailed to [email protected] or mailed to P.O. Box 7611, 
U.S. Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20044-7611, and should refer 
to United States v. Premier Industries, Inc., D.J. Ref. 90-5-2-1-08413.
    The proposed Order may be examined at the Office of the United 
States Attorney, 300 North Los Angeles Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012, 
and at U.S. EPA Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 
94105. During the public comment period, the proposed Order may also be 
examined on the following Department of Justice Web site: http://www.usdoj.gov/enrd/Consent_Decrees.html. A copy of the proposed Order 
may also be obtained by mail from the Consent Decree Library, P.O. Box 
7611, U.S. Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20044-7611 or by 
faxing or e-mailing a request to Tonia Fleetwood 
([email protected]), fax number (202) 514-0097, phone 
confirmation number (202) 514-1547. When requesting a copy from the 
Consent Decree Library, please enclose a check in the amount of $2.25 
for the proposed Order (25 cents per page reproduction cost), payable 
to the U.S. Treasury or, if by e-mail or fax, forward a check in that 
amount to the Consent Decree Library at the stated address.

Henry S. Friedman,
Assistant Chief, Environmental Enforcement Section, Environment and
