DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    On January 31, 2019, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
amendment to the Consent Decree lodged on May 30, 2017, with the United 
States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Abilene 
Division, in the lawsuit entitled United States v. Alon USA, LP, Case 
No. 1:17-cv-00087.
    The proposed amendment alters the previously lodged Decree, which 
resolves U.S. claims under the Clean Air Act (CAA), against Alon USA, 
LP, concerning its petroleum refinery located in Big Spring, Texas. The 
amendment would: Adjust dates for completion of SO2 and 
NOX control devices in order to address issues that included 
technical and feasibility considerations related to those controls 
raised by Alon; account for transfer of ownership of identified tanks 
and loading racks related to the Big Spring refinery; account for 
changes in anticipated turnaround schedule for the refinery; and 
identify elements of the Decree the performance of which is either 
restitution or required in order to come into compliance with the law.
    The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on 
the proposed amendment. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and 
should refer to United States v. Alon USA, LP, D.J. Ref. No. 90-5-2-1-
09157. All
