                    Under 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby given that on September 30, 2004, a proposed Consent Decree in                     *United States*                     v.                     *Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LP*, Civil Action No. H-04-3814 was lodged with the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas.                 

In this action the United States sought injunctive relief and a civil penalty to address violations of Section 112(r) of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 7412(r), (prevention of accidental chemical releases); 40 CFR Part 68, Chemical Accident Prevention Provisions; and 40 CFR Part 60, New Source Performance Standards related to the Pasadena Plastics Complex, a chemical manufacturing facility owned and operated by Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LP (“Chevron Phillips”) in Pasadena, Texas. 

Under the proposed Consent Decree, Chevron Phillips has agreed to pay a $1.8 million civil penalty. In addition, Chevron Phillips will perform two Supplemental Environmental Projects (“SEPs”) at a cost of at least $1.2 million. The first project requires Chevron Phillips to buy and arrange for the installation of a fuel cell to provide electricity for the operation of Moody Gardens, located in the Houston/Galveston non-attainment area. The second project requires Chevron Phillips to supply hazardous material equipment and training to the Pasadena Volunteer Fire Department. The settlement also requires Chevron Phillips to satisfy a number of work practice requirements designed to help reduce the chances of accidental releases of hazardous chemicals from the facility. 

                    The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of this publication comments relating to the Consent Decree.

Ref. No. 90-5-2-1-07840.
