DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Toxic 
Substances Control Act

    On July 19, 2022, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree (the ``Consent Decree'') with the District Court of the 
Southern District of New York in a lawsuit entitled United States of 
America v. CISNE NY Construction, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 22-
338.
    In this action, the United States seeks, as provided under Toxic 
Substances Control Act (``TSCA''), injunctive relief from Edison 
Ruilova and CISNE Contracting, Inc., among others, in connection with 
the defendants' unlawful work practices during renovations governed by 
an implementing regulation of the TSCA--the Renovation, Repair, and 
Painting Rule, 40 CFR part 745 (the ``RRP Rule''). The proposed 
settlement resolves the United States' claims against two of five 
defendants, requires Edison Ruilova and CISNE Contracting, Inc. to pay 
$25,000, and imposes injunctive relief. The injunctive relief required 
of the settling defendants mandates ongoing compliance with the RRP 
Rule, completion of an RRP Checklist at all worksites, and notification 
of EPA in advance of projects that implicate the RRP Rule.
    The publication of this notice opens the public comment on the 
proposed settlement. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and 
should refer to United States of America v. CISNE NY Construction, 
Inc., DJ #90-5-2-1-12386. All comments must be submitted no later than
