DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Proposed 

Consent Decree Under the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act 

On January 15, 2021, the Department 

of Justice and the State of California on 

behalf of the California Department of 

Toxic Substances Control (‘‘DTSC’’) 

lodged a proposed Consent Decree with 

the United States District Court for the 

Central District of California pertaining 

to environmental contamination at the 

Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid 

Operable Unit (‘‘DNAPL OU’’) of the 

Montrose Chemical Corp. Superfund 

Site in Los Angeles County, California. 

This proposed Consent Decree was 

lodged in the case United States of 

America and State of California vs. 

Montrose Chemical Corp. of California 

et al., Civil Action No. 2:90–cv–03122 

DOC (C.D. Cal.); it resolves certain of the 

claims in that case. 

The proposed Consent Decree, titled 

in full ‘‘Partial Consent Decree 

(Montrose Superfund Site—Dense NonAqueous Phase Liquid (DNAPL) 

Operable Unit)’’, resolves certain claims 

or potential claims under Sections 106 

and 107 of the Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, 

Compensation, and Liability Act, 42 

U.S.C. 9606, 9607, as well as certain 

potential state law claims, in connection 

with environmental contamination at 

the DNAPL OU. The settling defendants 

are TFCF America, Inc.; Bayer 

CropScience Inc.; Montrose Chemical 

Corporation of California; and Stauffer 

Management Company LLC. The 

Consent Decree requires the settling 

defendants to perform the remedy at the 

DNAPL OU, which consists primarily of 

in-situ thermal treatment (electrical 

resistance heating) and soil vapor 

extraction with an associated land use 

covenant, and to make a payment of 

$340,000.00 toward the United States’ 

unreimbursed DNAPL OU past costs 

and a payment of $61,798.11 towards 

DTSC’s DNAPL OU past costs. The 

proposed Consent Decree also requires 

the settling defendants to pay the 

United States’ and DTSC’s future 

response costs for overseeing the work 

the settling defendants will be 

performing at the DNAPL OU. 

The publication of this notice opens 

a period for public comment on the 

Consent Decree. Comments should be

General, Environment and Natural

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Public Comment Procedures 

We are publishing notice of records 

schedules in which agencies propose to 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 14 / Monday, January 25, 2021 / Notices 6921 

dispose of records they no longer need 

to conduct agency business. We invite 

public comments on these records 

schedules, as required by 44 U.S.C. 

3303a(a), and list the schedules at the 

end of this notice by agency and 

subdivision requesting disposition 

authority. 

In addition, this notice lists the 

organizational unit(s) accumulating the 

records or states that the schedule has 

agency-wide applicability. It also 

provides the control number assigned to 

each schedule, which you will need if 

you submit comments on that schedule. 

We have uploaded the records 

schedules and accompanying appraisal 

memoranda to the regulations.gov 

docket for this notice as ‘‘other’’ 

documents. Each records schedule 

contains a full description of the records 

at the file unit level as well as their 

proposed disposition. The appraisal 

memorandum for the schedule includes 

information about the records. 

We will post comments, including 

any personal information and 

attachments, to the public docket 

unchanged. Because comments are 

public, you are responsible for ensuring 

that you do not include any confidential 

or other information that you or a third 

party may not wish to be publicly 

posted. If you want to submit a 

comment with confidential information 

or cannot otherwise use the 

regulations.gov portal, you may contact 

request.schedule@nara.gov for 

instructions on submitting your 

comment. 

We will consider all comments 

submitted by the posted deadline and 

consult as needed with the Federal 

agency seeking the disposition 

authority. After considering comments, 

we will post on regulations.gov a 

‘‘Consolidated Reply’’ summarizing the 

comments, responding to them, and 

noting any changes we have made to the 

proposed records schedule. We will 

then send the schedule for final 

approval by the Archivist of the United 

States. You may elect at regulations.gov 

to receive updates on the docket, 

including an alert when we post the 

Consolidated Reply, whether or not you 

submit a comment. If you have a 

question, you can submit it as a 

comment, and can also submit any 

concerns or comments you would have 

to a possible response to the question. 

We will address these items in 

consolidated replies along with any 

other comments submitted on that 

schedule. 

We will post schedules on our 

website in the Records Control Schedule 

(RCS) Repository, at https://

www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/rcs, 

after the Archivist approves them. The 

RCS contains all schedules approved 

since 1973. 

Background 

Each year, Federal agencies create 

billions of records. To control this 

accumulation, agency records managers 

prepare schedules proposing retention 

periods for records and submit these 

schedules for NARA’s approval. Once 

approved by NARA, records schedules 

provide mandatory instructions on what 

happens to records when no longer 

needed for current Government 

business. The records schedules 

authorize agencies to preserve records of 

continuing value in the National 

Archives or to destroy, after a specified 

period, records lacking continuing 

administrative, legal, research, or other 

value. Some schedules are 

comprehensive and cover all the records 

of an agency or one of its major 

subdivisions. Most schedules, however, 

cover records of only one office or 

program or a few series of records. Many 

of these update previously approved 

schedules, and some include records 

proposed as permanent. 

Agencies may not destroy Federal 

records without the approval of the 

Archivist of the United States. The 

Archivist grants this approval only after 

thorough consideration of the records’ 

administrative use by the agency of 

origin, the rights of the Government and 

of private people directly affected by the 

Government’s activities, and whether or 

not the records have historical or other 

value. Public review and comment on 

these records schedules is part of the 

Archivist’s consideration process.
