                    Notice is hereby given of a proposed Second Agreement Regarding Alleged Non-Compliance with Consent Decree (“Agreement”) in the case of                     *United States*                     v.                     *Cummins Engine Company, Inc.,*                     Civil Action No. 98_02546, in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.                

                    The Agreement resolves matters involving Cummins' alleged failure to comply with a 1999 Consent Decrees settling claims under Title II of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7521*et seq.*                     (the “Act”), regarding the alleged use of illegal emission-control “defeat devices” on Cummins' 1998 and prior heavy-duty diesel engines (“HDDEs”). The United States contends that Cummins violated several provisions of the Consent Decree's Section IX (Additional Injunctive Relief/Offset Projects). Specifically, the United States contends that Cummins: Used in its Averaging, Banking and Trading (“AB&T”) program credits from 192 model year 2003 and 130 model year 2004 compressed natural gas engines that were subsidized as part of a Consent Decree Offset Project, leading to the improper generation of 243.5 megagrams (Mg) of NoX                     + NMHC and 13.9 Mg of PM urban bus credits; and failed to timely complete work on, or to timely submit an adequate completion report for, several work plans for offset projects approved by EPA under the Consent Decree.                

The Agreement provides that these violations will be resolved by Cummins' retiring of all the credits improperly generated plus a premium and Cummins' payment of a pe3nalty of $2,170,000 to the United States.

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