BILLING CODE 4410–14–P 

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Proposed 

Consent Decree Under the Clean Air 

Act 

On April 21, 2022, the Department of 

Justice lodged a proposed Consent 

Decree with the United States District 

Court for the District of Massachusetts, 

in a lawsuit entitled United States v. 

Schnitzer Steel Industries, Inc., Civil 

Action No. 1:22–cv–10604. 

The United States filed this lawsuit 

under Section 113(b) of the Clean Air 

Act (‘‘CAA’’), 42 U.S.C. 7613(b). The 

Complaint seeks civil penalties, 

injunctive relief, and mitigation for 

violations of Title V of the CAA, 42 

U.S.C. 7671–7671q, and its 

implementing regulations at 40 CFR part 

82, subpart F, designed to protect 

stratospheric ozone from the effects of 

refrigerant emissions, at 40 metal 

recycling facilities throughout the 

United States owned and operated by 

Schnitzer. The alleged violations 

include, among other things, (a) failing 

to recover refrigerants from small 

appliances, motor vehicle air 

conditioners (‘‘MVACs’’), and MVAClike appliances (collectively, 

‘‘appliances’’) prior to recycling; (b) 

failing to verify that all refrigerants had 

been properly recovered from 

appliances prior to their delivery to 

Schnitzer’s facilities; and (c) accepting 

signed refrigerant recovery statements or 

contracts from scrap material suppliers 

knowing or having reason to know they 

were false. 

Under the proposed consent decree, 

Schnitzer will pay the United States a 

civil penalty of $1,550,000, plus 

interest, and implement compliance 

measures at all 40 facilities worth over 

$1,700,000. For example, the decree 

requires Schnitzer to, among other 

things, implement an EPA-approved 

refrigerant recovery management 

program (‘‘RRMP’’), including the 

provision of refrigerant recovery 

services, screening procedures for scrap 

appliances and vehicles, and related 

employee training. The decree also 

requires Schnitzer to perform a 

mitigation project involving the 

destruction of all R–12 refrigerant 

recovered from scrap appliances at its 

40 facilities. R–12, which contains 

chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), has a global 

warming potential 10,000 times that of 

carbon dioxide. 

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 

refer to United States v. Schnitzer Steel 

Industries, Inc., D.J. Ref. No. 90–5–2–1–

Generic Clearance for the Collection of 

Qualitative Data to Support National 

Institute of Justice Research and 

Assessment. 

3. The agency form number, if any,

Abstract: The National Institute of 

Justice (NIJ) is requesting a generic 

clearance for the purpose of conducting 

qualitative research and assessment. 

NIJ’s mission is to advance scientific 

research, development, and evaluation 

to enhance the administration of justice 

and public safety. The proposed 

information collection activities will 

enable NIJ to better understand 

emerging crime and justice issues 

pertinent to its research mission, inform 

the development of intramural and 

extramural research projects, and ensure 

relevant information is available for use 

in the planning, management, and 

assessment of NIJ research portfolios. 

NIJ anticipates using a variety of 

techniques including, but not limited to, 

individual in-depth interviews, semistructured small group discussions, 

focus groups, and questionnaires to 

reach these goals. 

NIJ will only submit a collection for 

approval under this generic clearance if 

the collections are voluntary; the 

collections are low burden for 

respondents and are low- or no-cost for 

both the respondents and the Federal 

Government; the collections are 

noncontroversial; personally 

identifiable information is collected 

only to the extent necessary and is not 

retained; information gathered will not 

be used for the purpose of substantially 

informing influential policy decisions; 

and information gathered will yield 

qualitative information. 

Following standard Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

requirements, NIJ will submit an 

individual request to OMB for every 

group of data collection activities 

undertaken under this generic 

clearance. NIJ will provide OMB with a 

copy of the individual instruments or 

questionnaires (if one is used), as well 

as other materials describing the project. 

Currently, NIJ anticipates the need to 

conduct qualitative research that will 

include the collection of information 

from law enforcement agencies, jails, 

prisons, and the state agencies, local 

governments, and nonprofit 

organizations. 

5. An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: It is estimated that 

approximately 2,500 respondents will 

be involved in the anticipated 

qualitative research over the 3-year 

clearance period. Specific estimates for 

the average response time are not 

known for the work covered under a 

generic clearance, however, an estimate 

of overall burden is included in item 6 

below. 

6. An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: The estimated public burden 

for identified and future projects 

covered under this generic clearance 

over the 3-year clearance period is 

approximately 3,000 hours.

Clearance Officer, United States
