DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging Proposed Consent
Decree
Pursuant to Section 122(d)(2) of
CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9622(d)(2), notice is
hereby given that on January 8, 2010, a
proposed Consent Decree in U.S. v. The
City and County of Denver, Civil Action
No. 1:97–cv–1611, was lodged with the
United States District Court for the
District of Colorado.
The proposed Consent Decree
concerns a complaint filed by the
United States against the City and
County of Denver, Colorado, in which
the United States sought a declaratory
judgment that a ‘‘disposal fee’’
established by ordinance by the City
and County of Denver (‘‘Denver’’) was
void and unenforceable against the
United States and other persons
performing remedial actions at operable
units of the Denver Radium Superfund
Site (‘‘Site’’) and a permanent injunction
prohibiting Denver from enforcing the
disposal fee against those entities.
Denver counterclaimed against the
United States pursuant to Section 107 of
CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9607, seeking its
claimed response costs relating to the
Site.
Under the proposed Consent Decree,
the United States will pay Denver the
sum of $550,000 in settlement of
Denver’s counterclaims against the
United States. In addition, among other
provisions of the proposed Consent
Decree, Denver releases the United
States, its contractors, and potentially
responsible parties acting under the
direction of the United States, from any
obligation to pay fees pursuant to
Denver’s ordinance; Denver agrees to
implement certain institutional controls
regarding the Site; and that under
certain conditions, Denver is granted a
covenant not to sue for future CERCLA
liability at sites to which it sends wastes
removed from the Site.
The Department of Justice will accept
written comments relating to this
proposed Consent Decree for thirty (30)
days from the date of publication of this
Notice. Please address comments to

Section, Environment and Natural
Resources Section, U.S. Department of

proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
—Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
—Minimize the burden of the collection
of information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms
of information technology, e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of
responses.
Overview of This Information
(1) Type of information collection:
Reinstatement, with change, of a
previously approved collection for
which OMB approval has expired, State
Court Processing Statistics, 2009.
(2) The title of the form/collection:
State Court Processing Statistics, 2009.
(3) The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
Department sponsoring the collection:
The form labels are SCPS—2009,
SATCS—2009, Bureau of Justice
Statistics, Office of Justice Programs,
U.S. Department of Justice.
(4) Affected Public Who Will be Asked
or Required to Respond, as well as a
Brief Abstract: State Trial Courts and
Pretrial Agencies. Abstract: The State
Court Processing Statistics (SCPS)
project covers felony case processing in
a sample of the nation’s 75 most
populous counties on a recurring basis.
In the SCPS data collection program,
felony defendants are tracked for up to
1 year with data collected on a variety
of felony case processing characteristics.
These include the types of arrest charges
filed against felony defendants,
conditions of pretrial release, and
pretrial misconduct which includes the
court appearance record, violations of
release conditions, and re-arrests
committed while on pretrial release.
The adjudication outcomes
encompassing the dismissal, diversion,
guilty plea, and trial conviction rates for
felony defendants are also recorded. For
those defendants convicted, sentencing
data are collected. The SCPS 2009
project also involves collecting
aggregate information on the electronic
data storage and transfer capacities of
courts located in a sample of the
nation’s 900 most populous counties.
(5) An Estimate of the Total Number
of Respondents and the Amount of Time
Estimated for an Average Respondent to
Respond: It is estimated that
information will be collected on a total
of 15,000 felony defendants from 40
responding counties. The estimated
burden hours will be contingent upon
VerDate Nov<24>2008

the counties electronic storage and
transfer capabilities. Data collection will
occur in a more timely and expeditious
manner among counties with the
capacities to electronically transfer all
their case processing, pretrial, and
criminal history information to the data
collection agent. It is estimated that
about 10 of the 40 counties have the
capacity to transfer entire files of SCPS
cases and that it should take these
counties about 15 hours per county to
produce programs capable of
transferring the SCPS data to the data
collection agent. For the remaining 30
counties that lack the capacity to engage
in electronic transfers, data collection
will involve manually coding the SCPS
survey forms for an online or paper
based submission. Prior SCPS data
collection endeavors show an estimated
one hour to manually code each SCPS
case for online or paper based
submission. In addition to collecting
case processing information, courts
located in 200 jurisdictions will be
asked to complete a spreadsheet
surveying their overall levels of case
and pretrial automation. Pretests of the
instrument found that the average time
to complete the spreadsheet was about
2 hours per trial court.
(6) An Estimate of the Total Public
Burden (in hours) Associated with the
Collection: The estimated public burden
associated for the SCPS data collection
is 11,800 hours. In the 30 counties in
which SCPS cases are manually coded
for paper or online based submission, an
estimated 11,250 data collection forms
(375 forms per county) will be coded
and it should take an estimated one
hour to code each data collection form.
Hence, the estimated public burden
associated with the manual based
collection of SCPS data forms should be
about 11,250 hours. In the 10 counties
in which SCPS cases can be transferred
through computerized case management
systems, it should take an estimated 150
hours (15 hours per county) to generate
the programs capable of transferring
information for these SCPS cases.
Lastly, about 400 hours will be required
to complete the spreadsheets surveying
the overall levels of case and pretrial
automation for courts located in 200
counties (200 counties multiplied by 2
hours per spreadsheet). Therefore, the
total burden time for the SCPS 2009
project should be about 11,800 hours
(11,250 hours for manual based data
collection + 150 hours for computerized
transfer of automated SCPS data + 400
hours for the survey of court automation
capacities).
