DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Proposed 

Consent Decree Under the Clean Air 

Act 

On December 10, 2024, 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 Commonwealth of 

Pennsylvania v. PennEnergy Resources, 

LLC, Civil Action No. 2:24–cv–01675. 

The lawsuit seeks injunctive relief 

and civil penalties for violations of the 

Clean Air Act and its implementing 

regulations at oil and natural gas 

production facilities owned and 

operated by PennEnergy Resources, LLC 

(‘‘PennEnergy’’) in Butler County, 

Pennsylvania. The violations relate to 

alleged failures to adequately design, 

operate, and maintain storage tank 

vapor control systems, resulting in 

emissions of volatile organic 

compounds (‘‘VOC’’) and other 

pollutants to the atmosphere. 

The proposed Consent Decree covers 

49 PennEnergy facilities in 

Pennsylvania. The proposed decree 

requires PennEnergy to perform 

injunctive relief, including conducting 

engineering evaluations of the vapor 

control systems at each of the controlled 

well pads to ensure that they are 

adequately sized and designed, and 

complete an environmental mitigation 

project. PennEnergy must also pay a 

civil penalty of $2,000,000. Entering 

into and fully complying with the 

proposed Consent Decree would release 

PennEnergy from past civil liability for 

violations of Clean Air Act Title V and 

Clean Air Act regulations applicable to 

new and modified storage vessels and 

related state law at the facilities subject 

to the proposed consent decree. 

The publication of this notice opens

AGENCY: Employment and Training

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Employment and

this notice to announce updates to the 

Adverse Effect Wage Rates (AEWR) for 

the employment of temporary or 

seasonal nonimmigrant foreign workers 

(H–2A workers) to perform agricultural 

labor or services other than the herding 

or production of livestock on the range. 

AEWRs are the minimum wage rates the 

DOL has determined must be offered, 

advertised in recruitment, and paid by 

employers to H–2A workers and 

workers in corresponding employment 

so that the wages and working 

conditions of workers in the United 

States (U.S.) similarly employed will 

not be adversely affected. The AEWRs 

established in this notice are applicable 

to H–2A job opportunities classified: in 

six Standard Occupational 

Classification (SOC) codes comprising 

the field and livestock workers 

(combined) category, and in the field 

and livestock workers (combined) 

occupational category that are located in 

States or regions, or equivalent districts 

or territories, in which the United States 

Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) 

Farm Labor Report (better known as the 

Farm Labor Survey, or FLS) reports 

wages. In this notice, DOL also 

announces an update to the average 

AEWR, which is used to calculate 

adjustments to required bond amounts 

for H–2A Labor Contractors. 

DATES: These rates are effective 

December 16, 2024. However, for 

entities and states subject to the court 

order in Kansas et. al. v. U.S. 

Department of Labor, these rates are 

effective December 30, 2024.
