Notice of Lodging Proposed Consent Decree

    In accordance with Departmental Policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is 
hereby given that a proposed Consent Decree in United States v. Frasure 
Creek Mining, LLC, et al., Civil No. 12-56-ART, was lodged with the

and Trinity Parent Corporation, pursuant to Sections 309(b) and 309(d)
