DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    On October 6, 2016, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the District 
of Columbia in the lawsuit entitled United States v. Detroit Diesel 
Corporation, Civil Action No. 1:16-cv-01982.
    The government's complaint alleges that Detroit Diesel violated the 
Clean Air Act by introducing into commerce 7,786 heavy-duty diesel 
engines for use in trucks and buses in model year 2010 without a valid 
EPA-issued certificate of conformity demonstrating conformance with 
Clean Air Act standards to control nitrogen oxide (NOX) 
emissions. The complaint also alleges that the engines did not conform 
to emission standards applicable to model year 2010 engines.
    The Consent Decree requires Detroit Diesel to spend $14.5 million 
on mitigation projects to reduce NOX emissions and other 
pollutants, including replacing high-polluting diesel school buses and 
locomotive engines with models that meet current emissions standards. 
Detroit Diesel will also pay a civil penalty of $14 million.
    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, and 
should refer to United States v. Detroit Diesel Corporation, D.J. Ref. 
No. 90-5-2-1-10557. 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:
