Notice of Lodging of Proposed Stipulation of Settlement and Order 
Under the Clean Air Act

    On January 18, 2017, a proposed Stipulation of Settlement and Order 
was lodged with the United States District Court for the Southern 
District of Texas in the lawsuit entitled United States v. Tauber Oil 
Company, Civil Action No. 4:17-cv-00153.
    The United States filed this lawsuit against Tauber Oil Company 
(``Tauber'') alleging violations of Section 211(b) of the Clean Air 
Act, 42 U.S.C. 7545(b), and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The 
Complaint contends that Tauber sold approximately 1.9 million gallons 
of a product called ``Mixed Alcohol'' for use as a fuel additive 
without complying with the Clean Air Act's registration and 
``substantially similar'' requirements. The proposed Stipulation of 
Settlement and Order requires Tauber to pay a civil penalty of 
$700,000.
