Notice of Proposed Second Agreement
Regarding Alleged Non-Compliance
with Consent Decree in United States
v. Cummins Engine Company, Inc.
Notice is hereby given of a proposed
Second Agreement Regarding Alleged
Non-Compliance with Consent Decree
(‘‘Agreement’’) in the case of United
States v. Cummins Engine Company,
Inc., Civil Action No. 98l02546, in the
United States District Court for the
District of Columbia.
The Agreement resolves matters
involving Cummins’ alleged failure to
comply with a 1999 Consent Decrees
settling claims under Title II of the
Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq.
(the ‘‘Act’’), regarding the alleged use of
illegal emission-control ‘‘defeat
devices’’ on Cummins’ 1998 and prior
heavy-duty diesel engines (‘‘HDDEs’’).
The United States contends that
Cummins violated several provisions of
the Consent Decree’s Section IX
(Additional Injunctive Relief/Offset
Projects). Specifically, the United States
contends that Cummins: Used in its
Averaging, Banking and Trading
(‘‘AB&T’’) program credits from 192
model year 2003 and 130 model year
2004 compressed natural gas engines
that were subsidized as part of a
Consent Decree Offset Project, leading to
the improper generation of 243.5
megagrams (Mg) of NoX + NMHC and
13.9 Mg of PM urban bus credits; and
failed to timely complete work on, or to
timely submit an adequate completion
report for, several work plans for offset
projects approved by EPA under the
Consent Decree.
The Agreement provides that these
violations will be resolved by Cummins’
retiring of all the credits improperly
generated plus a premium and
Cummins’ payment of a pe3nalty of
$2,170,000 to the United States.
The Department of Justice will receive
for a period of thirty (30) days from the
date of this publication comments

Type of Request: Intent to seek
approval to establish an information
collection for three years.
Proposed Project: The Division of
Human Resource Development (EHR/
HRD) of the National Science
Foundation (NSF) has requested impact
information on the Model Institutions
for Excellence (MIE) Program. Jointly
funded by NSF and the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA), the MIE Program funded eight
minority-service undergraduate
institutions to promote
underrepresented minority participation
in the fields of science, technology,
engineering and mathematics (STEM).
Now NSF seeks follow-up information
on program graduates to determine
whether or not they have continued
their education in STEM graduate
programs and/or STEM employment,
and how the MIE program influenced
their decisions with respect to graduate
school and employment. NSF proposes
a one-time on-line survey of the 931
MIE students who received bachelor’s
degrees in a STEM field from one of the
MIE colleges between 2002 through
2005.
Estimate of Burden: The Foundation
estimates that, on average, 30 minutes
per respondent will be required to
complete the survey, for a total of 465.5
hours for all respondents. Respondents
from the eight institutions that received
NSF MIE support will complete this
survey once.
Respondents: STEM graduates from
MIE programs.
Estimated Number of Responses: 931.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 465.5 hours.
Dated: November 7, 2006.
