    On March 7, 2019, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Amended Consent Decree (``Amended Decree'') in the United States 
District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, Covington Division 
in the lawsuit entitled the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Plaintiff, United

[[Page 9383]]

Northern Kentucky (``SD 1''), Defendant, Civil Action No. 2:05-CV-199 
(WOB).
    This Amended Decree represents a modification to the initial 
Consent Decree, which was entered by the Court on April 18, 2007. The 
proposed Amended Decree provides for extending the deadlines by which 
the Defendant must eliminate sanitary sewer overflows (``SSOs'') and 
control combined sewer overflows (``CSOs''), and adds performance 
standards and stipulated penalty provisions geared to expedite overflow 
reductions and eliminate such overflows. The District submitted to the 
United States and the Commonwealth a financial capability and 
affordability analysis. After analysis of the data, the Plaintiffs, 
Commonwealth of Kentucky and the United States of America, concluded 
that an extension of the schedule as reflected in the Amended Decree 
was reasonable and appropriate.

the Amended Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the
