Geological and Geophysical Exploration for Mineral Resources on the Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental Shelf: Final Programmatic Environmental
Assessment (see http://www.boem.gov/ Oil-and-Gas-Energy-Program/GOMR/ 2004–054.aspx).

Cooperating Agency: BOEM invites other Federal agencies and State, Tribal, and local governments to consider becoming cooperating agencies in the preparation of the PEIS. We invite qualified government entities to inquire about cooperating agency status for the PEIS. Following the guidelines from the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), qualified agencies and governments are those with ‘‘jurisdiction by law’’ or ‘‘special expertise.’’ Potential cooperating agencies should consider their authority and capacity to assume the responsibilities of a cooperating agency, and note that an agency’s role in the environmental analysis neither enlarges nor diminishes the final decision making authority of any other agency involved in the NEPA process. Upon request, BOEM will provide potential cooperating agencies with a written summary of ground rules for cooperating agencies, including time schedules and critical action dates, milestones, responsibilities, scope and detail of cooperating agencies’ contributions, and the availability of pre-decisional information. BOEM anticipates this summary will form the basis for a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA). Agencies should also consider the ‘‘Factors for Determining Cooperating Agency Status’’ in Attachment 1 to CEQ’s January 30, 2002, Memorandum for the Heads of Federal Agencies: Cooperating Agencies in Implementing the Procedural Requirements of the NEPA. A copy of this document is available at:http:// ceq.hss.doe.gov/nepa/regs/cooperating/ cooperatingagenciesmemorandum.html and/or http://ceq.hss.doe.gov/nepa/ regs/cooperating/ cooperatingagencymemofactors.html BOEM and NMFS, as co-agencies, will not provide financial assistance to any other cooperating agencies. Even if an organization is not an official cooperating agency, opportunities exist to provide information and comments during the normal public input phases of the NEPA/PEIS process. If further information about cooperating agencies is needed, please contact Mr. Gary Goeke at (504) 736–3233.

**Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Resource**  **Conservation and Recovery Act**

On April 26, 2013, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed consent decree with the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio in the lawsuit entitled United States v. Schott Metal Products, Inc. and The Estate of Samuel Schott, Civil Action No. 5:13-cv-00950.

In the Complaint filed in this action the United States alleged that Defendants failed to comply with a 2006 Administrative Order issued by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (‘‘EPA’’) to sample and monitor soil and groundwater at the Schott Metal Products, Inc. facility in Akron, Ohio, in violation of Section 3013(a) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (‘‘RCRA’’), 42 U.S.C. 6934(a). The proposed consent decree requires Defendants to comply with the 2006 Administrative Order by implementing a ‘‘work plan,’’ and an addendum thereto, recently approved by EPA. The proposed consent decree further requires Defendants to pay a civil penalty of $375,000, for the alleged failure to timely comply with the 2006 Administrative Order.

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 v. Schott Metal Products, Inc. and The Estate of Samuel Schott, D.J. Ref. No. 90–7–1–09982. All comments must be submitted no later than thirty (30) days after the publication date of this notice.
