                    Notice is hereby given that on May 10, 2010, a proposed Consent Decree (“Decree”) in                     *United States*                     v.                     *The Pep Boys—Manny, Moe & Jack, and Baja, Inc.*, Civil Action No. 10-cv-00745, was lodged with the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.                

In this action the United States, on behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“U.S. EPA”), sought penalties and injunctive relief under the Clean Air Act (“CAA”) against The Pep Boys—Manny, Moe & Jack, and Baja, Inc., for violations of the mobile source provisions of the CAA. The Complaint alleges that between 2004 and March 2009, Defendants imported all-terrain vehicles, motorcycles, and generators from the Peoples' Republic of China in violation of the emissions certification, warranty, and labeling requirements of Title II of the CAA, Sections 204, 205 and 213, 42 U.S.C. 7523, 7524, and 7547, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, pertaining to highway motorcycles, recreational vehicles, and nonroad engines. The Complaint alleges approximately 363,000 violations, involving approximately 241,000 vehicles and engines.

Under the proposed Consent Decree, the Defendants will pay a civil penalty, export (or destroy) certain equipment that was previously seized by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, implement future corporate compliance plans, offer an Extended Emission-Related Warranty and Repair Reimbursement Program free to consumers, and offset the alleged illegal emissions through various programs.
