Proposed Modification of Consent
Decree Under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act
Notice is hereby given that on
February 5, 2010, a stipulation seeking
to modify certain provisions of the
January 27, 2005 Consent Decree
entered in United States v. Chief
Consolidated Mining Company, Civ. No.
2:04CV00891 BSJ, was filed in the
United States District Court for the
District of Utah.

Jkt 220001
In exchange for releasing Chief from
its $60 million confession of judgment,
certain future income recapture
provisions, and an obligation to sell
certain on-Site, non-mining land
required by the 2005 Consent Decree,
the Stipulation Modifying Consent
Decree substitutes a requirement for
Chief to pay to the Environmental
Protection Agency (‘‘EPA’’) $225,000 a
year for each of the five years following
the modification (total payment of
$1,125,000). The Stipulation also
extends until December 31, 2013 certain
provisions of the Consent Decree related
to Chief’s in-kind clean up contributions
and provides a grant from Chief to the
City of Eureka, Utah of an easement.
The easement will facilitate the City’s
role in maintaining the integrity of
EPA’s Site remedy. The proposed
modifications liquidate for equivalent
monetary value certain obligations
under the Consent Decree which Chief
is no longer able to perform due to
changing circumstances and are
consistent with Chief’s ability-to-pay
limitations which were recognized in
the initial settlement.
The Department of Justice will receive
for a period of thirty (30) days from the
date of this publication comments
relating to the Stipulation Modifying
Consent Decree. Comments should be
addressed to the Assistant Attorney
General, Environment and Natural
Resources Division, and either e-mailed

function of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
—Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the
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
VerDate Nov<24>2008
15:23 Mar 25, 2010
Jkt 220001
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
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

(5) An Estimate of the Total Number of Respondents and the Amount

be contingent upon 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

of the 40 counties have the capacity to transfer entire files of SCPS

to produce programs capable of transferring the SCPS data to the data

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).
