collection, and it will take each 

respondent approximately 30 minutes to 

complete their responses on the 

template provided by ATF. 

6. An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: The estimated annual public 

burden associated with this collection is 

488 hours which is equal to 975 (# of 

respondents) * 1(# of responses per 

respondents) * .5 (30 minutes). 

7. An Explanation of the Change in 

Estimates: The total responses and 

burden hours associated with this IC 

were reduced by 50 and 25 respectively, 

due to less respondents since the 

previous renewal in 2015. However, the 

total costs for this IC have increased by 

$27, due to an increase in mailing costs 

from 45 cents in 2015 to 50 cents in 

2018.

BILLING CODE 4410–FY–P 

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Proposed 

Consent Decree Under the Clean Water 

Act 

On June 21, 2018, the Department of 

Justice lodged a proposed consent 

decree with the United States District 

Court for the District of Hawaii in 

United States of America v. TWOL LLC 

et al., Civil Action No. 1:18–cv–00242. 

The complaint in this Clean Water 

Act (‘‘CWA’’) case was filed against the 

defendants concurrently with the 

lodging of the consent decree. The 

complaint alleges that Defendants 

TWOL LLC, Loi Chi Hang, and Nguyen 

Ngoc Tran are each liable for civil 

penalties stemming from violations of 

the CWA, 33 U.S.C. 1321, aboard the 

Honolulu-based commercial fishing 

vessel Pacific Dragon f/k/a Elizabeth. 

The United States’ allegations address 

discharges of oily waste from the 

vessel’s bilge while fishing for tuna off 

the Hawaiian coast and violations of the 

United States Coast Guard’s pollution 

control regulations, including failure to 

provide sufficient capacity to retain oily 

bilge water on board the vessel. The 

complaint seeks civil penalties from 

TWOL LLC, Mr. Hang, and Mr. Tran, 

along with injunctive relief from the 

same defendants and Defendant LNK 

Fishery LLC. TWOL LLC was the owner 

of the Pacific Dragon f/k/a Elizabeth 

when the alleged CWA violations 

occurred, and LNK Fishery LLC is the 

current owner of the vessel. Mr. Hang 

and Mr. Tran are managing members of 

both companies. 

Under the proposed consent decree, 

the defendants will perform corrective 

measures to remedy the violations and 

prevent future violations, including: (1) 

Repairing the vessel to reduce the 

quantity of oily waste generated during 

a fishing voyage; (2) providing 

crewmembers with training on the 

proper handling of oily wastes; (3) 

documenting proper oily waste 

management and disposal after 

returning to port; and (4) submitting 

compliance reports to the Coast Guard 

and to the Department of Justice. 

The consent decree also requires 

TWOL LLC, Mr. Hang, and Mr. Tran to 

each pay a civil penalty. The penalty 

amounts were set after considering each 

defendant’s limited ability to pay a 

higher penalty, as demonstrated through 

documentation submitted to the United 

States and analyzed by a financial 

expert. TWOL LLC must pay a civil 

penalty of $1,000; Mr. Hang must pay a 

civil penalty of $8,000; and Mr. Tran 

must pay a civil penalty of $5,000. 

Under the terms of the CWA, the 

penalties paid for these discharges will 

be deposited in the federal Oil Spill 

Liability Trust Fund managed by the 

National Pollution Funds Center. 

The publication of this notice opens 

a period for public comment on the 

proposed consent decree. Comments

Attorney General, Environment and 

Natural Resources Division, and should
