DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    On May 21, 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) filed a Complaint in this action 
asserting the claims against Defendant Coffeyville Resources Refining & 
Marketing, LLC (``CRRM'') for penalties and injunctive relief under 
Section 112(r)(7) of the Clean Air Act (``CAA''), 42 U.S.C. 7412(r)(7). 
Specifically, the Complaint asserts that CRRM violated various Risk 
Management Program (RMP) regulations promulgated under Section 112(r) 
of the CAA at its petroleum refinery located in Coffeyville, Kansas. 
The RMP regulations require stationary sources using threshold amounts 
of regulated substances to undertake specified steps to prevent 
accidental releases and minimize the consequences of releases that do 
occur.
    Under the proposed Consent Decree, CRRM will pay a penalty of 
$300,000 and correct all of the RMP violations alleged in the 
Complaint. In addition, it will retain independent third party experts 
to conduct three different and extensive audits of RMP components.
    The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on 
the Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and
