DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree 

Under the Clean Air Act 

Notice is hereby given that on 

December 21, 2006, a proposed Consent 

Decree was lodged with the United 

States District Court for the District of 

Columbia in the case of United States v. 

DaimlerChrysler AG and Mercedes-Benz 

USA, LLC, Civil Action No. 

1:06CV02172. 

In this action, the United States filed 

a complaint alleging that 

DaimlerChrysler AG and Mercedes-Benz 

USA, LLC (‘‘Defendants’’) failed to 

timely file emission-defect information 

reports (‘‘EDIRs’’) with the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency, as 

required by 40 CFR 85.1903, with 

respect to the following emissionrelated defects in Mercedes-Benz 

vehicles: (1) Defects in mass the airflow 

sensor on certain 1998–2000 vehicles, 

(2) defects in the underfloor catalytic 

converter on 1998–2003 models with 

M112 and M113 engines, (3) defects in 

the fuel filler cap on certain 1998–2003 

vehicles, (4) defects in the underhood 

catalysts on certain 1999–2001 M-class 

vehicles, (5) defects in the air pump of 

certain 2002–2006 vehicles, (6) defects 

in the fuel tank pressure sensor on 

certain 2001 vehicles, (7) defects in the 

ignition cable of certain 2001–2002 

vehicles, and (8) defects in the ignition 

module of certain 2001 vehicles. The 

complaint seeks civil penalties and 

injunctive relief pursuant to the Clean 

Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq. (the 

‘‘Act’’). 

The proposed Consent Decree settles 

the United States’ claims for injunctive 

relief and civil penalties under the Act 

with respect to the violations alleged in 

the complaint, as well as with respect to 

any failure of the Defendants to timely 

file EDIRs with respect to (1) defects in 

the underhood and underfloor catalytic 

converters on 2000 S–Class and C1–

Class Mercedes-Benz vehicles and (2) 

defects in the inner funnel of the 

catalyst for certain 2004–2005 

Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The proposed 

Consent Decree requires the Defendants 

to pay $1.2 million in civil penalties to 

the United States and to implement a 

Supplemental Emission-Related Defect 

Monitoring, Investigation, and 

Reporting Protocol.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 50–440; License No. NPF–58] 

FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating 

Company, FirstEnergy Nuclear 

Generation Corp. (Perry Nuclear Power 

Plant, Unit No. 1); Order Approving 

Application Regarding Proposed 

Corporate Restructuring 

I 

FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating 

Company (FENOC) and FirstEnergy 

Nuclear Generation Corp. (FENGenCo), 

along with the Ohio Edison Company, 

are the holders of Facility Operating 

License NPF–58, which authorizes the 

possession, use, and operation of Perry 

Nuclear Power Plant, Unit No. 1 (Perry). 

The facility is located in Lake County, 

Ohio. 

II 

By letter dated June 6, 2006, as 

supplemented by letters dated June 9 

and August 15, 2006, FENOC, the 

licensed operator of Perry, acting on 

behalf of FENGenCo and FirstEnergy 

Solutions Corp. (FE Solutions), 

submitted an application to the U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC 

or Commission) requesting, pursuant to 

Section 50.80 of Title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR), approval 

of the indirect transfer of control of 

FENGenCo’s license to own 87.42 

percent of Perry. FE Solutions and 

FENGenCo are both currently wholly 

owned direct subsidiaries of FirstEnergy 

Corp. (FirstEnergy). This action is being 

sought as a result of a planned corporate 

restructuring which would make 

FENGenCo: (1) A wholly owned direct 

subsidiary of FE Solutions; and (2) a 

wholly owned second-tier subsidiary of 

FirstEnergy. The Ohio Edison Company, 

which holds a leased interest in Perry 

and is licensed to possess such interest, 

is not involved in the planned corporate 

restructuring. The proposed corporate 

restructuring involves no changes to the 

facility license. Accordingly, no license 

amendments are requested in the 

application. 

A ‘‘Notice of Consideration of 

Approval of Application Regarding 

Proposed Corporate Restructuring, and 

Opportunity for a Hearing,’’ was 

published in the Federal Register on 

July 12, 2006 (71 FR 39370–39371). No 

comments or hearing requests were 

received. 

Under 10 CFR 50.80, no license, or 

any right thereunder, shall be 

transferred, directly or indirectly, 

through transfer of control of the 

license, unless the Commission shall 

give its consent in writing. Upon review 

of the information in the application 

submitted by FENOC and other 

information before the Commission, the 

NRC staff has determined that the 

subject corporate restructuring will not 

affect the qualifications of FENGenCo to 

hold the license to the same extent now 

held by FENGenCo, and that the 

indirect transfer of the license as held 

by FENGenCo effected by the corporate 

restructuring is otherwise consistent 

with applicable provisions of law, 

regulations, and orders issued by the 

Commission pursuant thereto, subject to 

the condition discussed herein. 

The findings set forth above are 

supported by a safety evaluation dated 

December 28, 2006. 

III 

Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 

161b, 161i, and 184 of the Atomic 

Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the 

Act), 42 U.S.C. §§ 2201(b), 2201(i), and 

2234; and 10 CFR 50.80, It is hereby 

ordered that the application regarding
