DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under Clean Air Act

    On June 18, 2013, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the District 
of Columbia in the lawsuit entitled United States v. American Honda 
Motor Company, Inc., Civil Action No. 1:13-cv-912.
    In this action the United States seeks, among other things, 
injunctive relief and civil penalties for the importation by American 
Honda Motor Company, Inc. (``AHM'') of uncertified small non-road 
gasoline engines in violation of Section 203(a) of the Clean Air Act 
(``CAA''), 42 U.S.C. 7522(a). The engines were uncertified because they 
did not conform to the certificates of conformity issued to cover their 
importation and sale in the United States, in that they lacked mufflers 
or air intake boxes. The proposed Consent Decree provides for AHM to 
pay a $580,000 civil penalty and to address the environmental harm by 
retiring 55 tons of pollution credits.
    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 
should refer to United States v. American Honda Motor Company, Inc., 
D.J. Ref. No. 90-5-2-1-10148. All comments must be submitted no later 
than 30 days after the publication date of this notice. Comments may be 
submitted either by email or by mail:
