BILLING CODE 4410–09–P 

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Proposed 

Consent Decree Under the Clean Water 

Act, Clean Air Act, Emergency 

Planning and Community Right-ToKnow Act, and Resource Conservation 

and Recovery Act 

On December 22, 2017, the 

Department of Justice filed an amended 

complaint and lodged a revised 

proposed consent decree with the 

United States District Court for the 

Western District of Pennsylvania in the 

lawsuit entitled United States and 

Territory of American Samoa v. StarKist 

Co. and Starkist Samoa Co., Civil 

Action No. 2:17–cv–01190–DSC. The 

amended complaint and revised 

proposed consent decree supersede the 

complaint and proposed consent decree 

filed by the Department of Justice in this 

action on September 12, 2017 and 

noticed for public comment in 82 FR 

43,573 (Sept. 18, 2017). 

In addition to the allegations in the 

original complaint, the amended 

complaint, which is filed by the United 

States and the Territory of American 

Samoa, alleges three new violations of 

the Clean Water Act (‘‘CWA’’) related to 

unpermitted discharges from Starkist’s 

facility to Pago Pago Harbor. First, the 

amended complaint alleges that Starkist 

discharged stormwater associated with 

industrial activity without a permit 

between June 2, 2015 and the present. 

Second, the amended complaint alleges 

that Starkist discharged a milky-white 

substance that contained pollutants 

from its facility through a stormwater 

outfall on 5 occasions between July 13, 

2017 and October 30, 2017. Finally, the 

amended complaint alleges that Starkist 

discharged pollutants from a sewage lift 

station overflow pipe at its facility into 

the harbor on September 20, 2017. For 

each of these violations, the amended 

complaint seeks injunctive relief and 

civil penalties. 

The amended complaint also adds a 

claim for relief by the Territory for 

violations of the American Samoa 

Environmental Quality Act and its 

implementing regulations based on the 

same facts underlying the United States’ 

claims for relief. In particular, the 

amended complaint alleges that 

Starkist’s unauthorized discharges and 

its discharges that exceeded effluent 

limitations in its NPDES permit violated 

the requirement in the American Samoa 

Environmental Quality Commission 

Rules that such discharges comply with 

NPDES rules and regulations. In 

addition, the amended complaint 

alleges that each of Starkist’s violations 

of Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act 

related to the handling of ammonia, 

butane, and chlorine at the facility 

violated the American Samoa 

Environmental Quality Commission 

Rules requirement to comply with the 

federal Clean Air Act. For each of these 

violations, the Territory seeks civil 

penalties. 

The revised proposed consent decree 

requires the defendants to perform 

injunctive relief, and pay an increased 

civil penalty of $6,500,000 (an increase 

of $200,000) to resolve the additional 

CWA violations alleged in the amended 

complaint, as well as the original 

alleged violations. Starkist must pay 

$3,900,000 to the United States and 

$2,600,000 to the Territory. 

The revised proposed consent decree 

requires the defendants to perform the 

injunctive relief included in the 

previously-lodged consent decree, as 

well as to address the additional CWA 

violations. It requires Starkist to obtain 

authorization to discharge stormwater 

from the facility, to implement best 

management practices, and prepare a 

plan to reduce, minimize, and eliminate 

pollutants in stormwater discharges 

from the facility. The decree also 

requires Starkist to identify and 

eliminate any connections between the 

facility’s industrial processes and its 

stormwater collection system. Finally, 

the revised proposed Consent Decree 

formalizes the role of the Territory in 

the implementation of the revised 

Consent Decree. The revised consent 

decree also replaces the process flow 

diagram in Appendix C to include an 

updated diagram. 

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

Temporary Employment of Aliens in 

Agriculture in the United States:

Occupations in 2018; Correction 

AGENCY: Employment and Training 

Administration, Department of Labor. 

ACTION: Notice: Correction. 

SUMMARY: The Employment and 

Training Administration (ETA) of the 

Department of Labor (Department) 

published a notice in the Federal 

Register on December 22, 2017, 

announcing the 2018 Adverse Effect 

Wage Rate (AEWR) for the employment 

of temporary or seasonal nonimmigrant 

foreign workers (H–2A workers) to 

perform herding or production of 

livestock on the range. That notice 

contained two different figures as the 

2018 AEWR, one correct ($1,584.22/ 

month) and the other incorrect. This 

notice corrects the incorrect figure. 

DATES: January 1, 2018.

Correction 

In the Federal Register of Friday, 

December 22, 2017, in FR Doc. 17– 

27530, on page 60768, in the third 

column, correct the first paragraph to 

read: 

Thus, the national monthly AEWR rate for 

all range occupations in the H–2A program 

in 2018 is calculated by multiplying the full 

AEWR for calendar year 2017 by the 2018 

ECI adjustment ($1544.07 × 1.026 = 

$1,584.22). Accordingly, any employer 

certified or seeking certification for range 

workers must pay each worker a wage that 

is at least the highest of the monthly AEWR 

of $1,584.22, the agreed-upon collective 

bargaining wage, or the applicable minimum 

wage imposed by Federal or State legislation 

or judicial action, at the time work is 

performed on or after the effective date of 

this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks to extend PRA authority for the 

Certification and Qualification to 

Examine, Test, Operate Hoists, and to 

Perform Other Duties information 

collection. More specifically, this ICR 

pertains to the certification of certain 

persons to perform specific 

examinations and tests. This ICR also 

seeks to extend PRA approval for 

procedures under which a coalmine 

operator is required to maintain a list of 

certified and qualified persons, and to 

develop an approved training plan for 

hosting engineers or host operators. A 

respondent uses the Safety and Health 

Activity Certification or Hoisting 

Engineer Qualification Request, Form 

MSHA–5000–41, in order to comply 

with the subject information collection 

requirements. Federal Mine Safety & 

Health Act of 1977 section 103(h) 

authorizes this information collection. 

See 30 U.S.C. 813(h). 

This information collection is subject 

to the PRA. A Federal agency generally 

cannot conduct or sponsor a collection 

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
