Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Under the Clean Air Act

    Under 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby given that on July 20, 2009 a 
Consent Decree in United States v. Tyler Holding Company, Inc., and 
Delek Refining, Ltd., Civil Action No. 6:09cv319 was lodged with the 
United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Tyler 
Division.
    In a complaint that was filed simultaneously with the Consent 
Decree, the United States sought injunctive relief and penalties 
against Tyler Holding Company, Inc., f/k/a La Gloria Oil and Gas Co. 
(``Tyler Holding''), and Delek Refining, Ltd. (``Delek''), pursuant to 
section 113(b) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7413(b), for alleged 
Clean Air Act violations at a petroleum refinery in Tyler, Texas.
    Under the settlement, Delek will implement air pollution control 
practices to reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide and volatile organic 
compounds (VOCs) from the refinery. Delek will adopt a refinery-wide 
enhanced flaring protocol to investigate the root cause of flaring 
incidents. Delek will also undertake an enhanced fugitive emission 
control program to minimize emissions of VOCs. In addition, Tyler 
Holding will pay a $624,000 civil penalty for settlement of the claims 
in the complaint.
