Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Clean Air 
Act

    Notice is hereby given that on May 10, 2012, a proposed Consent 
Decree in United States of America v. American Sugar Refining, Inc., 
Civil Action No. 12-CV-01408 was lodged with the United States District 
Court for the District of Maryland.
    The Consent Decree in this Clean Air Act enforcement action against 
American Sugar Refining, Inc. (``ASR'') resolves allegations by the 
Environmental Protection Agency, asserted in a complaint filed together 
with the Consent Decree, under section 113(b) of the Clean Air Act, 42 
U.S.C. 7413(b), for alleged environmental violations at ASR's sugar 
refinery in Baltimore, Maryland. In addition to the payment of a 
$200,000 civil penalty, the settlement requires ASR to perform 
injunctive relief to reduce emission of nitrogen oxides 
(NOX), including installing ultra low-NOX burners 
and meeting certain emission rate limits.
    The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30) 
days from the date of this publication comments relating to the Consent
