Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Oil 
Pollution Act of 1990 and the Clean Water Act

    On February 12, 2013, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
consent decree with the United States District Court for the District 
of Kansas in the lawsuit entitled United States v. Coffeyville 
Resources Refining & Marketing L.L.C., Civil Action No. 11-CV-1291-JTM-
JPO.
    The United States of America, on behalf of the United States 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the United States Coast 
Guard, filed a Complaint in this action asserting the following claims 
against Defendant Coffeyville Resources Refining & Marketing, L.L.C. 
(``CRRM'' or ``:Defendant'') that included claims (1) for penalties and 
injunctive relief under Sections 301 and 311 of the Clean Water Act 
(``CWA''), 33 U.S.C. 1311, 1321, relating to a June 30 and July 1, 2007 
discharge of approximately 2,145 barrels of crude oil, diesel fuel, and 
oily water from several sources within CRRM's Coffeyville, Kansas 
petroleum Refinery; and (2) for reimbursement of removal costs, 
interest, administrative costs and attorneys' fees under Section 
1002(a) of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (``OPA''), 33 U.S.C. 2702(a), 
incurred by the United States Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund 
(``OSLTF'') in responding to the 2007 oil discharge.
    The proposed Consent Decree settles these claims. Under the 
settlement, CRRM will undertake measures designed to prevent future oil 
discharges and pay a penalty of $566,244. It will also reimburse the 
OSLTF $1,746,256 in response costs incurred with respect to the 2007
