DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree 

Notice is hereby given that on August 

26, 2010, an electronic version of a 

proposed Consent Decree was lodged in 

the United States District Court for the 

Southern District of Georgia in United 

States v. Tronox Pigments (Savannah), 

Inc., No. 408–259. The Consent Decree 

settles the United States’ claims against 

Tronox Pigments (Savannah), Inc. 

(‘‘Tronox Pigments’’) for civil penalties 

and injunctive relief based on violations 

of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401 et 

seq. (‘‘CAA’’) and implementing 

regulations, as well as a permit issued 

to Tronox Pigments by the State of 

Georgia pursuant to a State 

Implementation Plan (‘‘Georgia SIP’’) 

approved by EPA pursuant to the CAA 

and a permit issued to Tronox Pigments 

under Title V of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 

7661–7661f (‘‘CAA’’) and Georgia’s Title 

V regulations; violations of the Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act 

(‘‘RCRA’’), 42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq. and 

implementing regulations; violations of 

the Clean Water Act (‘‘CWA’’), 33 U.S.C. 

1251 et seq. and implementing 

regulations; and a violation of Section 

103(a) of the Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, 

Compensation, and Liability Act of 

1980, as amended, (‘‘CERCLA’’), 42 

U.S.C. 9603(a) and implementing 

regulations. 

Under the terms of the proposed 

Consent Decree, Tronox Pigments will, 

among other things, apply for an 

amended Title V permit to include the 

air emissions limits contained in the 

consent decree upon any resumption of 

titanium dioxide production at the 

Savannah facility. The consent decree 

requires Tronox to continue performing 

a RCRA investigation and cleanup 

under State supervision, including 

addressing the new areas of 

noncompliance identified by EPA. For 

CWA compliance, Tronox Pigments will 

complete the excavation of the ditch 

system. Tronox Pigments and its 

affiliates have filed for bankruptcy 

protection under Chapter 11 of the 

Bankruptcy Code, and under the 

consent decree a civil penalty of $4.2 

million will be treated as an allowed 

claim. The consent decree resolves the 

litigation filed in the Southern District 

of Georgia. 

The Department of Justice will receive 

for a period of thirty (30) days from the 

date of this publication comments 

relating to the proposed Consent Decree. 

Comments should be addressed to the

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Bureau of Labor Statistics 

Proposed Collection, Comment 

Request 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing collections of 

information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This 

program helps to ensure that requested 

data can be provided in the desired 

format, reporting burden (time and 

financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed. The Bureau of Labor 

Statistics (BLS) is soliciting comments 

concerning the revision of the ‘‘The 

Consumer Expenditure Surveys: The 

Quarterly Interview and the Diary.’’ A 

copy of the proposed information 

collection request (ICR) can be obtained 

by contacting the individual listed 

below in the ADDRESSES section of this 

notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 

ADDRESSES section of this notice on or 

before November 22, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Nora 

Kincaid, BLS Clearance Officer, 

Division of Management Systems, 

Bureau of Labor Statistics, Room 4080, 

2 Massachusetts Avenue, NE., 

Washington, DC 20212. Written 

comments also may be transmitted by 

fax to 202–691–5111 (this is not a toll 

free number).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Consumer Expenditure (CE) 

Surveys collect data on consumer 

expenditures, demographic information, 

and related data needed by the 

Consumer Price Index (CPI) and other 

public and private data users. The 

continuing surveys provide a constant 

measurement of changes in consumer 

expenditure patterns for economic 

analysis and to obtain data for future 

CPI revisions. The CE Surveys have 

been ongoing since 1979. 

The data from the CE Surveys are 

used (1) for CPI revisions, (2) to provide 

a continuous flow of data on income 

and expenditure patterns for use in 

economic analysis and policy 

formulation, and (3) to provide a 

flexible consumer survey vehicle that is 

available for use by other Federal 

Government agencies. Public and 

private users of price statistics, 

including Congress and the economic 

policymaking agencies of the Executive 

branch, rely on data collected in the CPI 

in their day-to-day activities. Hence, 

data users and policymakers widely 

accept the need to improve the process 

used for revising the CPI. If the CE 

Surveys were not conducted on a 

continuing basis, current information 

necessary for more timely, as well as 

more accurate, updating of the CPI 

would not be available. In addition, data 

would not be available to respond to the 

continuing demand from the public and 

private sectors for current information 

on consumer spending. 

In the Quarterly Interview Survey, 

each consumer unit (CU) in the sample 

is interviewed every three months over
