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

    On September 29, 2016, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Northern 
District of California in the lawsuit entitled United States v. Chemoil 
Corporation, Civil Action No. 16-5538.
    The United States alleges that in 2011, 2012, and 2013 Chemoil 
violated Section 211(o) of the Clean Air Act (``CAA''), 42 U.S.C. Sec.  
7545(o), and the Renewable Fuel Standard, 40 CFR part 80 (``RFS2''), by 
exporting renewable fuel without retiring at least 72.7 million 
Biomass-Based Diesel (D4) credits (Renewable Identification Numbers or 
``RINs'') which it was required to do in order to meet its Renewable 
Volume Obligation (``RVO''). The United States further alleges that 
Chemoil failed to submit to the Environmental Protection Agency 
required reports related to its export activity. To remedy these 
alleged violations, the proposed Consent Decree requires Chemoil to pay 
a civil penalty of $27 million and retire 65 million D4 RINs in 
addition to the 7.7 million RINs Chemoil retired in March of this year.
    The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on 
the Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, 
Environmental Enforcement Section and should refer to United States v. 
Chemoil Corporation, D.J. Ref. No. 90-5-2-1-11066. All comments must be
