75330 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 211 / Thursday, November 2, 2023 / Notices 

Registrant’s registration, the burden 

shifts to the registrant to show why it 

can be entrusted with the responsibility 

carried by a registration. Garret Howard 

Smith, M.D., 83 FR 18882, 18910 (2018). 

When a registrant has committed acts 

inconsistent with the public interest, it 

must both accept responsibility and 

demonstrate that it has undertaken 

corrective measures. Holiday CVS, 

L.L.C., dba CVS Pharmacy Nos 219 and 

5195, 77 FR 62316, 62339 (2012) 

(internal quotations omitted). Trust is 

necessarily a fact-dependent 

determination based on individual 

circumstances; therefore, the Agency 

looks at factors such as the acceptance 

of responsibility, the credibility of that 

acceptance as it relates to the 

probability of repeat violations or 

behavior, the nature of the misconduct 

that forms the basis for sanction, and the 

Agency’s interest in deterring similar 

acts. See, e.g., Robert Wayne Locklear, 

M.D., 86 FR 33738, 33746 (2021). 

Here, Registrant did not request a 

hearing, submit a corrective action plan, 

respond to the OSC/ISO, or otherwise 

avail itself of the opportunity to refute 

the Government’s case. As such, 

Registrant has made no representations 

as to its future compliance with the CSA 

nor made any demonstration that it can 

be entrusted with registration. 

Moreover, the evidence presented by the 

Government clearly shows that 

Registrant violated the CSA, further 

indicating that Registrant cannot be 

entrusted. Accordingly, the Agency will 

order the revocation of Registrant’s 

registration. 

Order 

Pursuant to 28 CFR 0.100(b) and the 

authority vested in me by 21 U.S.C. 

824(a), I hereby revoke DEA Certificate 

of Registration No. FB4121327 issued to 

Blue Mint Pharmacy. Further, pursuant 

to 28 CFR 0.100(b) and the authority 

vested in me by 21 U.S.C. 823(g)(1), I 

hereby deny any pending applications 

of Blue Mint Pharmacy, to renew or 

modify this registration, as well as any 

other pending application of Blue Mint 

Pharmacy, for additional registration in 

Texas. This Order is effective December 

4, 2023.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Proposed First 

Modification To Consent Decree Under 

the Clean Water Act 

On October 25, 2023, the Department 

of Justice lodged a proposed first 

modification to the consent decree 

(‘‘First Modification’’) with the United 

States District Court for the District of 

Massachusetts in the lawsuit entitled 

United States and Commonwealth of 

Massachusetts v. City of Revere, 

Massachusetts, Civil Action No. 1:10– 

cv–11460 (D. Mass.). 

The United States filed this lawsuit in 

2010 under the Clean Water Act (‘‘Act’’). 

The complaint sought injunctive relief 

and civil penalties for violations of the 

Act in connection with the City of 

Revere’s operation of its sewage 

collection system and municipal 

separate storm sewer system (‘‘MS4’’). 

The allegations in the Complaint were 

resolved in a consent decree entered on 

November 17, 2010 (‘‘Consent Decree’’) 

in which the City of Revere agreed, 

among other things, to develop and 

implement a Comprehensive 

Wastewater Management Plan and 

Comprehensive Stormwater 

Management Plan (‘‘CWMP/CSMP’’) to 

ensure identification and 

implementation of capital projects 

necessary to eliminate sanitary sewer 

overflows (‘‘SSOs’’) and bring its MS4 

into compliance with National Pollutant 

Elimination System (‘‘NPDES’’) permit 

requirements. 

The proposed First Modification 

replaces the Consent Decree CWMP/ 

CSMP provisions with new provisions 

that require the City of Revere to update 

portions of its CWMP/CSMP by 

December 31, 2026. This update must 

include a summary of work completed 

pursuant to the Consent Decree, 

assessment of the City of Revere sewer 

system current service level and 

associated review of capacity-related 

SSOs, development and assessment of 

alternatives to achieve the goal of the 

Consent Decree to prevent collection 

system surcharges or capacity-related 

SSOs events, and a recommended plan 

and implementation schedule 

identifying projects to attain the target 

level of sewer system service of a tenyear design storm. The new provisions 

also extend the deadline for completion 

of all work proposed under Revere’s 

CWMP/CSMP to December 31, 2038. 

The publication of this notice opens 

a period for public comment on the First 

Modification. Comments should be 

addressed to the Assistant Attorney 

General, Environment and Natural 

Resources Division, and should refer to 

United States and Commonwealth of 

Massachusetts v. City of Revere, 

Massachusetts, Civil Action No. 1:10–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Producer Price Index (PPI) is a 

Principal Federal Economic Indicator 

consisting of a family of indexes that 

measures the average change over time 

in the selling prices received by 

domestic producers of goods and 

services. PPIs measure price change 

from the perspective of the seller. This 

contrasts with other measures, such as 

the Consumer Price Index (CPI), that 

measure price change from the 

purchaser’s perspective. About 10,000 

PPIs for individual products and groups 

of products are released each month. 

The PPI data are widely used by the 

business community as well as by 

government and academia. In particular, 

the data are used as an economic 

indicator playing a crucial role in 

market analysis, as a deflator of other 

economic series, the basis for the 

calculation of price adjustments for 

contracts and purchase agreements, and 

as an input to economic research. These 

uses highlight the necessity of the PPI 

in order to understand the economy. 

PPI data meets a wide range of 

government needs by providing a 

description of the magnitude and 

composition of price changes within the 

economy. Government agencies view 

these indexes as sensitive indicators of 

the economic environment and closely 

follow each monthly release of statistics. 

PPI data are vital in helping the 

President and Congress set fiscal 

spending targets. The Federal Reserve 

Board Open Market Committee monitors 

producer prices to help determine 

monetary policy. Federal policy makers 

at the Department of the Treasury and 

the Council of Economic Advisors 

utilize these statistics to help interpret 

the economic environment and make 

decisions based upon these 

interpretations. Many dollardenominated measurements of 

economic performance, such as the 

Gross Domestic Product (GDP), require 

accurate price data for the conversion of 

nominal dollars into real dollars. 

National income accounting figures 

must also be inflation free in order to 

remain relevant to fiscal and monetary 

policy makers setting objectives. Price 

adjustment clauses in government 

purchasing contracts commonly use one 

or more PPIs. According to a 

conservative estimate, hundreds-ofbillions of dollars’ worth of contracts 

and purchase agreements employ PPIs 

as part of price adjustment clauses. 

Failure to calculate these price data 

would prolong the time frame needed 

for accurate recognition of and 

appropriate adaptation to economic 

events. 

The private sector also makes 

extensive use of PPI data. Researchers 

commonly use producer prices to probe 

and measure the interaction of market 

forces. Private firms use PPIs for 

contract escalation and price 

adjustment. The Internal Revenue 

Service (IRS) recommends using PPI 

data for certain kinds of tax related 

inventory accounting, such as Last-InFirst-Out (LIFO). Private businesses 

extensively use PPIs for planning and 

operations. Firms often compare the 

prices they pay and receive with 

changes in appropriate PPIs. 

Economic researchers and forecasters 

also put PPIs to regular use. They use 

PPI data to better understand market 

forces. Research topics requiring 

producer price data include studying 

elasticities, potential lead and lag 

structures within price changes, and the 

identification of prices that cause major 

influence throughout the economy. 

Policy-makers, businesses, and 

researchers all require complete 

descriptions of price change trends if 

they are to perform effectively. 

The expansive coverage of PPIs makes 

them very valuable to the users 

described above as well as many others. 

II. Current Action 

Office of Management and Budget 

clearance is being sought for the 

extension of the PPI survey. 

The PPI collection is not a one-time 

project with an end date. The purpose 

of the PPI collection is to accumulate
