DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Corrected Federal Register Notice

On December 14, 2006, the Federal Register notice of the lodging of a Consent Decree under the Clean Air Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act in the matter of United States v. Von Roll America, Inc., Civil Action No. 4:06 CV 2893 (N.D. Ohio). The notice contained a typographical error. It stated that as part of the settlement, the defendant would change out the primary box in its new carbon absorption system whenever Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems data showed ``THCs of 5 ppm of greater on a 60 minute rolling average.'' Instead of ``5 ppm,'' the notice should have said ``50 ppm.'' The complete notice, as corrected, is set out below.

In light of the error, the Department of Justice will receive comments relating to the Consent Decree for an additional fifteen (15) days from the date of this publication beyond the initial thirty (30) days set forth below in the original notice.
