DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    On March 24, 2024, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
material modification to a Consent Decree (``Decree'') with the United 
States District Court for the Western District of Washington in the 
lawsuit entitled United States v. Trident Seafoods Corp., et. al, Civil 
Action 2:19-cv-231. See Dkt. No. 8.
    The Consent Decree--entered by the court in May 2019--resolved 
alleged violations of Title X of the Clean Air Act stemming from 
Trident's use of ozone-depleting refrigerants on board fishing vessels 
and at seafood processing facilities in Alaska and in the Pacific 
Northwest. The Decree includes requirements that Trident retrofit or 
retire a number of its larger refrigeration appliances in accordance 
with a ten-year schedule. The proposed material modification extends 
certain deadlines in that schedule by up to two years and requires that 
Trident retrofit or retire the appliances on an additional vessel by 
January 31, 2032.
    The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on 
the proposed material modification. Comments should be addressed to the 
Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, 
and should refer to United States v. Trident Seafoods Corp., et al., 
D.J. Ref. No. 90-5-2-1-11183. All comments must be submitted no later 
than thirty (30) days after the publication date of this notice. 
Comments may be submitted either by email or by mail:
