Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Under the Clean Air Act

    Under 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby given that on December 30, 
2010, a proposed Consent Decree (``Consent Decree'') in the matter of 
United States v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, et al, Civil Action No. 
4:10-cv-02672-CCC, was lodged with the United States District Court for 
the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
    In the complaint in this matter, the United States sought 
injunctive relief and civil penalties against the Pennsylvania 
Department of Corrections and Department of General Services 
(collectively, the ``Commonwealth'') for claims arising under the Clean 
Air Act in connection with the operation of four state correctional 
facilities located in Muncy, Bellefonte (Rockview), Somerset, and 
Huntingdon, PA. Under the Consent Decree, the Commonwealth will control 
particulate matter emissions at the facilities by either shutting down 
coal-fired boilers, installing air emission controls, or converting the 
coal-fired boilers to natural gas-fired boilers. The Commonwealth will 
pay a civil penalty of $300,000 for past violations. The Department of 
Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of
