Notice of the Effect of Hurricane 

Katrina on the Minerals Management 

Service Internet Public Commenting 

System, Alternate Methods of 

Providing Comments 

AGENCY: Minerals Management Service 

(MMS), Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of alternate methods of 

commenting in the aftermath of 

Hurricane Katrina. 

SUMMARY: This notice informs the public 

that Hurricane Katrina disrupted the 

Minerals Management Service’s 

Internet-based public commenting 

system, which is hosted on computers 

in New Orleans, Louisiana. It advises 

the public of alternate methods they 

may use to comment on documents. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bill

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Hurricane Katrina caused extensive 

and severe damage in the area of New 

Orleans, Louisiana. In the aftermath of 

the hurricane, damage to levees in New 

Orleans, Louisiana allowed water to 

flood the city and cause further damage. 

Public Connect, the Internet-based 

public commenting system for the 

Minerals Management Service, is hosted 

on computers in the agency’s offices 

located in New Orleans, Louisiana. The 

storm and aftermath disrupted this 

system. MMS employees are assessing 

the damage, but it is not known yet how 

long it will take to restore this system. 

MMS currently has an open comment 

period for the following document 

published in the Federal Register. 

On August 24, 2005, we published in 

the Federal Register a Request for 

Comments on the Preparation of a New 

5-Year Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) 

Oil and Gas Leasing Program for 2007–

2012; and on the Intent to Prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for the Proposed 5-Year Program (70 FR 

49669). This notice provided that the 

public could submit comments by mail 

or through the Internet. Because Public 

Connect is not available in the aftermath 

of Hurricane Katrina, all comments 

must be mailed to: Renee Orr, 5-Year 

Program Manager, Minerals 

Management Service (MS–4010), Room 

3120, 381 Elden Street, Herndon, 

Virginia 20170. 

MMS was able to receive comments 

that were submitted to Public Connect 

before Hurricane Katrina hit New 

Orleans, Louisiana on Monday, August 

29. If you submitted a comment through 

Public Connect on or after Friday, 

August 26, you should re-submit the 

comment by mail to the address above 

to assure that we receive the comment.

BILLING CODE 7020–02–P 

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree 

Under the Clean Water Act and Clean 

Air Act 

Under 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby 

given that on Sept4ember 20, 2005, a 

proposed Consent Decree in two 

consolidated cases—United States v. 

Motiva Enterprises LLC, Civil action No. 

02–1292–SLR, and The Department of 

Natural Resources and Environmental 

Control, an agency of the State of 

Delaware v. Motiva Enterprises LLC, 

Civil Action No. 02–1293–SLR—was 

lodged with the United States District 

Court for the District of Delaware. 

The United States’ and the 

Department of Natural Resources and 

Environmental Control’s (‘‘DNREC’s’’) 

actions sought injunctive relief and civil 

penalties to address violations of the 

Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, and 

several state statutes that occurred in 

connection with a July 17, 2001 

explosion at the Delaware City Refinery, 

then owned and operated by Motiva 

Enterprises LLC (‘‘Motiva’’). Under the 

Consent Decree, Motiva will pay a $12 

million civil penalty: $6.25 million will 

be paid to the U.S. and $5.75 million to 

DNREC. 

Motiva will also carry out six 

environmental projects at a cost of 

approximately $3.96 million. First 

Motiva will spend approximately $2.0 

million to purchase three hybrid dieselelectric buses for the Delaware Transit 

Corporation and provide maintenance 

funds for the buses. Second, the 

Company that purchased the refinery 

from Motiva in 2004, The Premcor 

Refining Group Inc. (‘‘Premcor’’), will 

grant a conservation easement over 285 

acres of refinery land that will protect 

the area in perpetuity. Motiva will then 

spend at least $447,500 planting trees 

and controlling invasive species and 

taking other steps to return the area to 

its natural state. Third, Motiva will 

spend approximately $550,000 to 

reintroduce native species of shellfish 

into parts of the Delaware River they 

formerly inhabited. Fourth, Motiva will 

purchase $165,000-worth of emergency 

equipment for the local fire department. 

Fifth, Motiva will pay approximately 

$550,000 to construct a weathermonitoring station near the refinery for 

DNREC and pay a portion of the 

station’s operating coasts. Sixth and 

finally, Motiva will spend $250,000 to 

install and operate for approximately 

five years a river-monitoring station 

near Pea Patch Island. 

In addition. Premcor, now a 

subsidiary of Valero Energy 

Corporation, will implement a number 

of accident-prevention measures. For 

example, at the refinery’s alkylation 

unit, Premcor will take steps to ensure 

that equipment that reduces the 

quantity of explosive hydrocarbons in 

spent sulfuric acid is operating 

whenever the alkylation unit is 

operating. Procedures for issuing hot 

work permits and for responding to 

holes and leaks in tanks will be 

tightened. The refinery will manage 

spent sulfuric acid as if spent sulfuric 

acid were a regulated substance under 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 185 / Monday, September 26, 2005 / Notices 56189 

EPA’s accident prevention regulations, 

40 CFR part 68. 

The United Stated Department of 

Justice will receive for a period of thirty 

(30) days from the date of this 

publication comments relating to the 

Consent Decree. Comments should be 

addressed to the Assistant Attorney 

General, Environment and Natural 

Resources Division, PO Box 7611, U.S. 

Department of Justice, Washington, DC 

20044–7611, and should refer to United 

States v. Motiva Enterprises LLC, D.J. 

Ref. No. 90–5–1–1–07551.

open.html. A copy of the Consent 

Decree may also be obtained by mail

I. Abstract 

The NASA Contractor Financial 

Management Reporting System is the 

basic financial medium for contractor 

reporting of estimated and incurred 

costs, providing essential data for 

projecting costs and hours to ensure that 

contractor performance is realistically 

planned and supported by dollar and 

labor resources. The data provided by 

these reports is an integral part of the 

Agency’s accrual accounting and costbased budgeting systems required under 

31 U.S.C. 3512.
