                    Under 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby given that on February 22, 2010, a proposed Consent Decree in                     *United States*                     v.                    *Cummins, Inc.,*                     case number 1:10-cv-00275, was lodged with the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.                

                    The Decree resolves the claims of the United States against Cummins, Inc. (“Cummins”) for violations of Title II of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7521*et seq.*                     (the “Act”). The United States alleged that Cummins sold, offered for sale, or introduced or delivered for introduction into commerce new motor vehicle engines not covered by certificates of conformity, because the engines as actually sold, offered for sale, or introduced or delivered for introduction into commerce are materially different from the engines described in Cummins' applications for certificates of conformity, in that the engines were not equipped with the required emission control system or aftertreatment device. Under the proposed Decree, Cummins shall: Pay a penalty of $2.1 million, of which $1,680,000 shall be paid to the United States and the remainder to the State of California under a parallel administrative agreement; institute a voluntary recall of the affected engines; retire 167.1 tons of NOX                     and 30.5 tons of PM, the entire amount of excess pollution attributable to the violation; and dismiss with prejudice a pending Petition for Review in the DC Circuit.                

                    The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of this publication comments relating to the Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and either e-mailed to                     *pubcomment-ees.enrd@usdoj.gov*                     or mailed to P.O. Box 7611, U.S. Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20044-7611, and should refer to the Consent Decree between the United States and Cummins, DOJ Ref. No. 90-5-2-1-09351.
