DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Federal 
Air Pollution Prevention and Control Act (Clean Air Act)

    On September 30, 2015 the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the District 
of the District of Columbia in the lawsuit entitled United States v. 
Tractor Supply Company, Inc. and Tractor Supply Company of Texas, L.P., 
Civil Action No. 1:15-cv-01589.
    The United States' complaint, filed simultaneously with the 
proposed Consent Decree, seeks civil penalties and injunctive relief 
for violations of the Clean Air Act and its implementing regulations 
that govern the importation, sale, offering for sale, or otherwise 
introducing into commerce, of recreational vehicles and small non-road 
spark-ignition engines. The complaint alleges that the defendants 
imported and then offered for sale, sold, or otherwise introduced into 
commerce, 28,265 recreational vehicles and small non-road spark 
ignition engines between 2006 and 2009 that were not properly certified 
as compliant with the Clean Air Act's applicable regulations, and 
failed to provide complete and accurate information in response to an 
EPA request for information. The proposed Consent Decree requires the 
defendants to pay a civil penalty of $775,000, to implement a project 
to mitigate the effects of air pollution emissions arising from the 
sale of the allegedly noncompliant vehicles and engines, and to 
implement a corporate compliance plan including inspections, emissions 
and catalyst testing, and training and reporting requirements for both 
imported and domestically-produced products.
    The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on 
the proposed Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the 
Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, 
and should refer to United States v. Tractor Supply Company, Inc. and 
Tractor Supply Company of Texas, L.P., D.J. Ref. No. 90-5-2-1-10153. 
All comments must be submitted no later than thirty (30) days after the 
publication date of this notice. Comments may be submitted either by
