Notice is hereby given that on July 28, 2010, a proposed Consent

Judgment in United States v. Nassau Chromium Plating Co., Inc., No. CV- 09-2706, was lodged with the United States District Court for the

CFR part 63, subpart N.

The Consent Judgment requires the Defendant to pay a civil penalty of $4,000.00, which was calculated after conducting an ability-to-pay analysis. The Consent Judgment also provides for injunctive relief that requires Defendant to maintain compliance with the provisions of

Sections 101-114 of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401-7414, and its implementing regulations, 40 CFR part 63, subpart N, and submit reports to EPA for a three-year period demonstrating such compliance.
