Minerals Management Service
(MMS), Interior.
ACTION: Notice of alternate methods of
commenting in the aftermath of
Hurricane Katrina.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This notice informs the public
that Hurricane Katrina disrupted the
Minerals Management Service’s
Internet-based public commenting
system, which is hosted on computers
in New Orleans, Louisiana. It advises
the public of alternate methods they
may use to comment on documents.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bill

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Hurricane Katrina caused extensive
and severe damage in the area of New
Orleans, Louisiana. In the aftermath of
the hurricane, damage to levees in New
Orleans, Louisiana allowed water to
flood the city and cause further damage.
Public Connect, the Internet-based
public commenting system for the
Minerals Management Service, is hosted
on computers in the agency’s offices
located in New Orleans, Louisiana. The
storm and aftermath disrupted this
system. MMS employees are assessing
the damage, but it is not known yet how
long it will take to restore this system.
MMS currently has an open comment
period for the following document
published in the Federal Register.
On August 24, 2005, we published in
the Federal Register a Request for
Comments on the Preparation of a New
5-Year Outer Continental Shelf (OCS)
Oil and Gas Leasing Program for 2007–
2012; and on the Intent to Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the Proposed 5-Year Program (70 FR
49669). This notice provided that the
public could submit comments by mail
or through the Internet. Because Public
Connect is not available in the aftermath
of Hurricane Katrina, all comments
must be mailed to: Renee Orr, 5-Year

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree
Under the Clean Water Act and Clean
Air Act
Under 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby
given that on Sept4ember 20, 2005, a
proposed Consent Decree in two
consolidated cases—United States v.
Motiva Enterprises LLC, Civil action No.
02–1292–SLR, and The Department of
Natural Resources and Environmental
Control, an agency of the State of
PO 00000

Delaware v. Motiva Enterprises LLC,
Civil Action No. 02–1293–SLR—was
lodged with the United States District
Court for the District of Delaware.
The United States’ and the
Department of Natural Resources and
Environmental Control’s (‘‘DNREC’s’’)
actions sought injunctive relief and civil
penalties to address violations of the
Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, and
several state statutes that occurred in
connection with a July 17, 2001
explosion at the Delaware City Refinery,
then owned and operated by Motiva
Enterprises LLC (‘‘Motiva’’). Under the
Consent Decree, Motiva will pay a $12
million civil penalty: $6.25 million will
be paid to the U.S. and $5.75 million to
DNREC.
Motiva will also carry out six
environmental projects at a cost of
approximately $3.96 million. First
Motiva will spend approximately $2.0
million to purchase three hybrid dieselelectric buses for the Delaware Transit
Corporation and provide maintenance
funds for the buses. Second, the
Company that purchased the refinery
from Motiva in 2004, The Premcor
Refining Group Inc. (‘‘Premcor’’), will
grant a conservation easement over 285
acres of refinery land that will protect
the area in perpetuity. Motiva will then
spend at least $447,500 planting trees
and controlling invasive species and
taking other steps to return the area to
its natural state. Third, Motiva will
spend approximately $550,000 to
reintroduce native species of shellfish
into parts of the Delaware River they
formerly inhabited. Fourth, Motiva will
purchase $165,000-worth of emergency
equipment for the local fire department.
Fifth, Motiva will pay approximately
$550,000 to construct a weathermonitoring station near the refinery for
DNREC and pay a portion of the
station’s operating coasts. Sixth and
finally, Motiva will spend $250,000 to
install and operate for approximately
five years a river-monitoring station
near Pea Patch Island.
In addition. Premcor, now a
subsidiary of Valero Energy
Corporation, will implement a number
of accident-prevention measures. For
example, at the refinery’s alkylation
unit, Premcor will take steps to ensure
that equipment that reduces the
quantity of explosive hydrocarbons in
spent sulfuric acid is operating
whenever the alkylation unit is
operating. Procedures for issuing hot
work permits and for responding to
holes and leaks in tanks will be
tightened. The refinery will manage
spent sulfuric acid as if spent sulfuric
acid were a regulated substance under
