Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Under the Clean Air Act

    Notice is hereby given that on April 19, 2007, a proposed Consent 
Decree in United States v. Shan Industries, LLC, Civil Action No. 2:07-
1839 (JLL) was lodged with the United States District Court for the 
District of New Jersey.
    In this action the United States sought civil penalties and 
injunctive relief relating to alleged violations of the Clean Air Act, 
42 U.S.C. 7401, et seq., and the National Emissions Standards for 
Chromium Emissions from Hard and Decorative Chromium Electroplating and 
Chromium Anodizing Tanks, 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart N, and the National 
Emissions Standards for Halogenated Solvent Cleaning, 40 CFR Part 63, 
Subpart T, arising out of Shan Industries, LLC's ownership and 
operation of its Accurate Forming facility, located in Hamburg, New 
Jersey. Shan uses tricholoroethylene and hexavalent chromium to 
degrease and electroplate ``deep drawn'' metal parts used in such 
products as writing implements and automotive fuel filters. The Consent 
Decree resolves the claims alleged in the Complaint that Shan violated 
the Act and the pertinent regulations in its operations, and failed to 
comply with certain design, testing, operating, monitoring and
