DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Under the Clean Air Act

    Notice is hereby given that on March 28, 2012, a proposed Consent 
Decree (``Consent Decree'') in U.S. v. Coltec Industries, Inc., et al., 
Civil Action No. 1:10-cv-01659-ABJ, was lodged with the United States 
District Court for the District of Columbia.
    In this action the United States, acting on behalf of the U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, filed a Complaint against Coltec 
Industries, Inc., a marine compression-ignition engine manufacturer, 
and National Steel and Shipbuilding Company, a marine vessel 
manufacturer (``Settling Defendants''), seeking civil penalties and 
injunctive relief for alleged non-compliance with Section 213 of the 
Clean Air Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 7547, and its implementing Marine 
Compression-Ignition Rules, at 40 CFR part 94. The Complaint alleges 
that Settling Defendants failed to comply with the certificate of 
conformity requirements by manufacturing or using uncertified and/or 
unlabeled or defectively labeled marine diesel engines in their 
respective operations.
    The Consent Decree requires Settling Defendants to pay a $280,000 
civil penalty to the United States. Settling Defendants will perform a 
Supplemental Environmental Project at an estimated cost of $500,000, 
which involves the installation of Selective Catalytic Reduction 
emissions control technology at a marine engine test stand operated at 
Settling Defendant Coltec Industries, Inc.'s marine engine 
manufacturing facility in Beloit, Wisconsin. They have also agreed to 
label or re-label the engines at issue in the Complaint with special 
certification labels that require Settling Defendants to treat the 
engines at issue as if they were originally certified under the Marine 
CI Engine Regulations, including complying with all applicable 
maintenance, repair, adjustment and recordkeeping requirements.
    The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30) 
days from the date of this publication comments relating to the Consent 
Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General, 
Environment and Natural Resources Division, and either emailed to 
[email protected] or mailed to P.O. Box 7611, U.S.

U.S. v. Coltec Industries, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 1:10-cv-
