DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    Notice is hereby given that on August 13, 2012, pursuant to 28 CFR 
50.7, a proposed Amendment to the Consent Decree (``Amendment'') in the 
matter of United States v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, et al., Civil 
Action No. 4:10-cv-02672-CCC, was lodged with the United States 
District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
    As a part of the Consent Decree in this matter, the Pennsylvania 
Department of Corrections and Department of General Services 
(collectively, the ``Commonwealth'') agreed to control particulate 
matter emissions at its Huntingdon, Pennsylvania facility (``the 
Huntingdon facility'') by either shutting down coal-fired boilers, 
installing air emission controls on the existing unit, or converting 
the coal-fired boilers to natural gas-fired boilers by June 30, 2012. 
The Commonwealth did not meet the deadline imposed in the Consent 
Decree for the Huntingdon facility. The proposed Amendment requires the 
Commonwealth to either install new units with pollution controls or 
convert existing units to natural gas fired units by June 30, 2013. The 
Commonwealth will also pay a civil of $39,000.
    The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30) 
days from the date of this publication comments relating to the 
Amendment. 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.

United States v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, et al., D.J. Ref. No. 
90-5-2-1-09099.
    During the public comment period, the Consent Decree may be
