II. Additional Information About the 

Proposed Settlement Agreement 

On May 31, 2019, EPA issued the 

Final Determination in which it (1) 

revoked Genscape’s registration as a 

Quality Assurance Plan (QAP) auditor 

pursuant to 40 CFR 80.1450(g)(11); (2) 

revoked Genscape’s QAP A Plan under 

40 CFR 80.1469(e)(4); and (3) required 

Genscape to replace the remaining 

invalid A–RINs it had verified and that 

were used for compliance purposes 

pursuant to 40 CFR 80.1470(d) and 

80.1474(b)(5)(i). On July 26, 2019, 

Genscape filed a petition for review in 

the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals 

challenging only the portion of the Final 

Determination requiring Genscape to 

replace the invalid RINs. The proposed 

settlement would require dismissal of 

this litigation once EPA issues a 

revision to the Final Determination as 

specified in Attachment A within 30 

days of a fully executed settlement 

agreement. The revision to the Final 

Determination would be limited to 

revisions addressing the number of RINs 

Genscape must replace, the time in 

which they much be replaced and other 

requirements regarding that RIN 

replacement. Genscape would file an 

appropriate pleading to dismiss its 

petition for review with prejudice 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
14854 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 51 / Wednesday, March 16, 2022 / Notices 

within 15 days of EPA issuing the 

revision to the Final Determination. 

If Genscape fully complies with the 

revised Final Determination, it would 

fulfill Genscape’s RIN replacement 

obligations under and bring Genscape 

into compliance with 40 CFR 80.1470 

and 80.1474 regarding the auditing 

activities described in the Final 

Determination and would fully resolve 

all RIN retirement obligations of 

Genscape and its parent companies 

identified in the proposed settlement 

agreement arising from the Final 

Determination. If Genscape fails to 

comply with any requirement in the 

revised Final Determination, EPA would 

reserve the right to initiate proceedings 

to enforce that action. If EPA fails to 

issue the revisions to the Final 

Determination, Genscape would be able 

to pursue its challenge to the original 

Final Determination. 

In accordance with section 113(g) of 

the CAA, for a period of thirty (30) days 

following the date of publication of this 

document, the Agency will accept 

written comments relating to the 

proposed settlement agreement. EPA or 

the Department of Justice may withdraw 

or withhold consent to the proposed 

settlement agreement if the comments 

disclose facts or considerations that 

indicate that such consent is 

inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or 

inconsistent with the requirements of 

the Act.
