 Department of Justice
 On August 17, 2017, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed consent decree with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in the lawsuit entitled 
                    *United States*
                     v. 
                    *Accolade Construction Group Inc.,*
                     Civil Action No. 15 Civ. 5855 (JCF) On July 27, 2015, the United States filed a complaint on behalf of the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) alleging that Accolade Construction Group, Inc. (“Accolade”) violated the Renovation, Repair, and Painting Rule, 40 CFR part 745, subpart E (“RRP Rule”), promulgated under the Toxic Substances Control Act (“TSCA”), 15 U.S.C. 2601 
                    *et seq.,*
                     during renovation work in 2013 and 2014 at six residential buildings in New York City. The complaint sought an injunction compelling compliance by Accolade in the future and an order requiring Accolade to disgorge the proceeds of conduct in violation of TSCA and the RRP Rule. Pursuant to the proposed consent decree, both Accolade and its principal Faisal Ahmed (“Ahmed,” and, collectively, with Accolade, the “Settling Accolade Parties”) agree to injunctive relief that, among other things, requires them, for the term of the consent decree, to (1) provide EPA with notice and a proposed RRP Rule compliance plan prior to doing any renovation work covered by the RRP; (2) provide EPA with notice of each proposed renovation project prior to engaging in that project; (3) comply with the RRP Rule, and (4) maintain necessary records. The Settling Accolade Parties also agree to pay $58,000 in disgorgement, representing profits gained as a result of the conduct alleged in the complaint. The consent decree resolves any claims of the United States against Accolade or Ahmed for the violations of TSCA alleged in the Complaint through the date of lodging. The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on the consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and should refer to
