States Code; 

(C) section 22905(a) of title 49, United 

States Code;

(H) any domestic content 

procurement preference included in an 

appropriations Act; and 

(I) any other domestic content

content procurement preference in 

Federal law. 

(3) Provide details on any applicable 

domestic content procurement

the requirement. 

DOI Summary: Given the above 

responses, the DOI has no further details

DOI Summary: The DOI reviewed 

each of its 287 financial assistance 

programs to identify Federal financial 

assistance programs for infrastructure. 

The analysis found in the link above 

identifies the DOI’s initial assessment of

Programs’’). The types of infrastructure 

projects pursued under these programs 

are identified within question 4(c), 

column K of the analysis. 

(5) Section 70913(c) of IIJA requires 

that the report include a list of 

‘‘Deficient Programs’’ which identifies

content procurement preference 

requirement does not apply in a manner 

consistent with section 70914 of IIJA or 

is subject to a waiver of general 

applicability not limited to the use of 

specific products for use in a specific 

project. Section 70914 requires that all 

the iron, steel, manufactured products, 

and construction materials used in 

projects receiving DOI financial 

assistance for infrastructure be 

produced in the United States unless 

DOI provides a waiver of the 

requirement or application of the 

requirement would be inconsistent with 

the United States’ obligations under 

international agreements. 

DOI Summary: As noted above and 

based on information known at the time 

of this assessment, all included DOI 

Infrastructure Programs constitute 

‘‘Deficient Programs’’ as defined in the 

Build America, Buy America Act.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Proposed 

Consent Decree Under the Clean Water 

Act 

On January 11, 2022, the Department 

of Justice lodged a proposed Consent 

Decree with the United States District 

Court for the Western District of 

Pennsylvania in the lawsuit entitled 

United States and Pennsylvania 

Department of Environmental 

Protection v. West Penn Power 

Company (West Penn), Civil Action No. 

2:22–cv–00051–NR. 

This case relates to alleged violations 

of monthly effluent limitations 

contained in National Pollution 

Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) 

permits issued to West Penn by the 

Pennsylvania Department of 

Environmental Protection (PADEP) and 

related to boron levels in leachate 

discharges from two closed coal ash 

landfills in Western Pennsylvania. The 

Mingo Landfill is associated with the 

retired, coal-fired Mitchell Power Plant 

in Union Township, Washington 

County, and the Springdale Landfill is 

associated with the retired coal-fired 

Springdale Power Plant in Frazer 

Township, Allegheny County. The case 

involves claims for civil penalties and 

injunctive relief under the Clean Water 

Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq., as well as 

a related count under the Pennsylvania 

Clean Streams Law, 35 P. S. §§ 691.1– 

691.801 for the alleged violations at the 

Mingo Landfill. The proposed 

settlement embodied in the lodged 

Consent Decree requires West Penn to 

install a new gravity pipeline from the 

Springdale Landfill to a new outfall 

location in the Allegheny River, and to 

operate a recently installed gravity 

pipeline from the Mingo Landfill to 

Peters Creek. Both new outfalls will 

require West Penn to operate the 

pipelines in compliance with newly 

issued NPDES permits. West Penn is 

also required to pay civil penalties of 

$305,000 to the United States and 

$305,000 to PADEP.

a period for public comment on the 

Consent Decree. Comments should be
