DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Proposed 

Consent Decree Under the Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act 

On January 21, 2022, the Department 

of Justice lodged a proposed consent 

decree with the United States District 

Court for the District of Puerto Rico in 

the lawsuit entitled United States of 

America v. To Go Stores, LLC, Civil 

Action No. 3:22–cv–1038. 

The United States filed the complaint 

in this Resource Conservation and 

Recovery Act (RCRA) case concurrently 

with the lodging of the Proposed 

Consent Decree. The Complaint alleges 

that Defendant To Go Stores, LLC is 

civilly liable for violations of 

regulations promulgated under RCRA 

Subchapter IX governing underground 

storage tanks. The complaint alleges that 

To Go Stores failed to comply with 

RCRA regulations, as administered by 

the Puerto Rico Department of Natural 

and Environmental Resources, for 

underground storage tanks at 15 gas 

stations owned and/or operated by To 

Go Stores in Puerto Rico. The alleged 

violations include failure to: Adequately 

monitor for releases; provide adequate 

spill and overfill prevention equipment; 

provide and maintain corrosion 

protection equipment; maintain records; 

secure monitoring wells; report and 

investigate suspected releases; and 

obtain financial assurance. 

Under the Proposed Consent Decree, 

To Go Stores will inspect certain 

facilities; install new tanks at certain 

facilities; and install and operate a 

centralized monitoring system and new 

release detection equipment, including 

automatic tank gauging, at 43 facilities 

in Puerto Rico. To Go Stores will pay a 

civil penalty of $125,000. The Proposed 

Consent Decree will resolve all RCRA 

claims alleged in this action by the 

United States against To Go Stores. 

The publication of this notice opens 

a period for public comment on the 

Proposed Consent Decree. Comments

Attorney General, Environment and 

Natural Resources Division,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Section 103(h) of the Federal Mine 

Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine 

Act), 30 U.S.C. 813(h), authorizes 

MSHA to collect information necessary 

to carry out its duty in protecting the 

safety and health of miners. Further, 

section 103(h) requires that every 

operator of a coal or other mine 

establish and maintain records, make 

reports, and provide required 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
4048 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 17 / Wednesday, January 26, 2022 / Notices 

information to the Secretary of Labor 

(Secretary). Section 101(a) of the Mine 

Act, 30 U.S.C. 811(a), authorizes the 

Secretary to develop, promulgate, and 

revise as may be appropriate, improved 

mandatory health or safety standards for 

the protection of life and prevention of 

injuries in coal or other mines. 

Each operator of a surface coal mine 

is required under 30 CFR 77.1000 to 

establish and follow a ground control 

plan for highwalls, pits, and spoil banks 

that is consistent with prudent 

engineering design and which will 

ensure safe working conditions. The 

mine operator is required by section 

77.1000–1 to file the ground control 

plan with the appropriate District 

Manager. The mining methods 

employed by the operator are selected to 

ensure highwall, pit, and spoil bank 

stability. In the event of a highwall 

failure or material dislodgment, there 

may be very little time to escape 

possible injury; therefore, preventive 

measures must be taken. Each plan is 

based on the type of strata expected to 

be encountered, the height and angle of 

highwalls and spoil banks, and the 

equipment to be used at the mine. The 

plan is used to show how the mine 

operator will maintain safe working 

conditions around the highwalls, pits, 

and spoil banks. Each plan is reviewed 

by MSHA to ensure that highwalls, pits, 

and spoil banks are maintained in a safe 

condition through implementation of 

sound engineering design. 

II. Desired Focus of Comments 

MSHA is soliciting comments 

concerning the proposed information 

collection related to Ground Control for 

Surface Coal Mines and Surface Work 

Areas of Underground Coal Mines. 

MSHA is particularly interested in 

comments that: 

• Evaluate whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Agency, including whether the 

information has practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of MSHA’s 

estimate of the burden related to the 

information collection, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used in the estimate; 

• Suggest methods to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

information collection 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. 

Background documents related to this 

information collection request are 

available at https://regulations.gov and 

at DOL–MSHA located at 201 12th 

Street South, Suite 4E401, Arlington, 

VA 22202–5452. Questions about the 

information collection requirements 

may be directed to the person listed in 

the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION 

section of this notice. 

III. Current Actions 

This information collection request 

concerns provisions for ground control 

for surface coal mines and surface work 

areas of underground coal mines. MSHA

burden hours, and burden costs 

supporting this information collection 

request from the previous information 

collection request.
