DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Proposed 

Consent Decree Under the Clean Water 

Act 

On September 18, 2014, the 

Department of Justice lodged a proposed 

Consent Decree with the United States 

District Court for the Northern District 

of California in the lawsuit entitled 

United States of America v. Sims Group 

USA Corporation d/b/a Sims Metal 

Management, Civil Action No. 3:14– 

CV–4209. 

The United States of America brought 

claims on behalf of the United States 

Environmental Protection Agency under 

Sections 301 and 402 of the Clean Water 

Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251, et seq., against 

Sims Group USA Corporation d/b/a 

Sims Metal Management. 

The United States alleges that the 

violations arose from Sims’ industrial 

activities at the Port of Redwood City in 

Redwood City, California. The United 

States alleges that Sims allowed metal 

and other material to fall from its shiploading conveyor directly into Redwood 

Creek. In addition, the Complaint 

alleges that Sims violated several 

requirements of its General Permit 

authorization for stormwater discharges 

associated with industrial activity. Sims 

encapsulated its ship-loading conveyor 

and came into compliance with the 

CWA in March 2012. It came into 

compliance with the General Permit in 

April 2013. 

The proposed Consent Decree would 

require Sims to pay $189,500 in civil 

penalties for its violations, and to study 

and remediate contaminated sediments 

near the conveyor. 

The publication of this notice opens 

a period for public comment on the 

proposed Consent Decree. Comments 

should be addressed to the Assistant 

Attorney General, Environment and 

Natural Resources Division, and should 

refer to United States of America v. 

Sims Group USA Corporation d/b/a 

Sims Metal Management, D.J. Ref. No.

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks to extend PRA authority for an 

information collection that provides the 

public a means to request for assistance 

from the EBSA. The EBSA assists 

employee benefit plan participants in 

understanding their rights, 

responsibilities, and benefits under 

employee benefit law and intervenes 

informally on participants’ behalf with 

the plan sponsor in order to help them 

obtain health and retirement benefits 

that may have been inappropriately 

denied. Such informal intervention can 

avert the necessity for a formal 

investigation or a civil action. The EBSA 

maintains a toll-free telephone number 

through which inquirers can reach 

Benefits Advisors in ten Regional 

Offices. The EBSA has also made a 

request for assistance form available on 

its Web site for those wishing to obtain 

assistance in this manner. 

This information collection is subject 

to the PRA. A Federal agency generally 

cannot conduct or sponsor a collection 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
57134 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 185 / Wednesday, September 24, 2014 / Notices 

of information, and the public is 

generally not required to respond to an 

information collection, unless it is 

approved by the OMB under the PRA 

and displays a currently valid OMB 

Control Number. In addition, 

notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person shall generally be subject 

to penalty for failing to comply with a 

collection of information that does not 

display a valid Control Number. See 5 

CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL 

obtains OMB approval for this 

information collection under Control 

Number 1210–0146. 

OMB authorization for an ICR cannot 

be for more than three (3) years without 

renewal, and the current approval for 

this collection is scheduled to expire on 

September 30, 2014. The DOL seeks to 

extend PRA authorization for this 

information collection for three (3) more 

years, without any change to existing 

requirements. The DOL notes that 

existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

May 21, 2014 (79 FR 29208). 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

send comments to the OMB, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs at 

the address shown in the ADDRESSES

section within thirty (30) days of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. In order to help ensure 

appropriate consideration, comments 

should mention OMB Control Number 

1210–0146. The OMB is particularly 

interested in comments that: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses.
