DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    On September 4, 2025, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
second material modification to the Consent Decree in the matter 
entitled United States v. Trident Seafoods Corp., et. al, Civil Action 
2:19-cv-231, with the United States District Court for the Western 
District of Washington.
    The Consent Decree resolved alleged violations 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 by, among other things, requiring Trident to retrofit or 
retire a number of its larger refrigeration appliances that are more 
prone to significant leaks, in accordance with a ten-year schedule. The 
proposed material modification extends one deadline in the schedule by 
four years and requires that Trident retrofit or retire one large 
refrigeration appliance early and agree to additional compliance 
requirements, including additional inspections and comprehensive leak 
testing on the vessel whose deadlines are being extended.
    The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on 
the proposed modification to the Consent Decree. 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:
