DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Proposed Consent Decree
Under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act
Notice is hereby given that on June
12, 2012, the United States, on behalf of
the U.S. Department of Agriculture,
Forest Service, filed a Complaint and on
June 13, 2012, lodged a proposed
Consent Decree in United States v. The
Stearns Co., Ltd., and Stearns
Enterprises, Inc., Case No. 12-cv-191–
JMH (E.D. Ky.), relating to the Lower
Rock Creek Mines Site in McCreary
County, Kentucky (the ‘‘Site’’). The
Complaint seeks reimbursement from
defendants, The Stearns Co., Ltd., and
Stearns Enterprises, Inc., of
environmental response costs incurred
by the Forest Service at the Site and the
entry of a declaratory judgment with
respect to the Forest Service’s future
response costs under Sections 107(a)
and 113(g) of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act of
1980, as amended (‘‘CERCLA’’), 42
U.S.C. 9607(a) and 9613(g).
The proposed Consent Decree
resolves the claims in the Complaint.
Under the proposed Consent Decree, the
defendants agree to the entry of a
judgment in favor of the United States
in the amount of $31.8 million; the
judgment can be satisfied, however,
solely through the transfer of
Defendants’ real property interests
(comprised primarily of mineral rights
in the Site property) to the United States
(reuniting the Forest Service’s fee
interest in the Site property with the
mineral rights) and recoveries, if any,
under Defendants’ insurance policies. In
addition, defendants agree to withdraw
their application, pending with the U.S.
Department of Interior’s Office of
Surface Mining and Enforcement, for a
‘‘compatibility determination’’ under
the Surface Mining Control and
Reclamation Act of 1977 with respect to
defendants’ mineral rights at the Site,
thus avoiding the potential litigation

Overview of This Information
1. Type of information collection: Reinstatement of previously approved data
collection, Survey of General Purpose
Law Enforcement Agencies (SGPLEA),
2012.
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
2. The title of the form/collection:
Survey of General Purpose Law
Enforcement Agencies (SGPLEA), 2012.
3. The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
Department sponsoring the collection:
The form labels are SGPLEA, 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: General purpose law
state and local law enforcement
agencies, including police departments,
sheriffs, and constables at the state,
county and municipal level, including
tribal law enforcement agencies.
Abstract: The Bureau of Justice Statistics
(BJS) proposes to implement a Survey of
General Purpose Law Enforcement
Agencies (SGPLEA). This survey builds
upon the previous eight waves of the
BJS-sponsored surveys in the Law
Enforcement Management and
Administrative Statistics (LEMAS)
Program. The SGPLEA will continue to
generate nationally-representative
estimates of the nature of law
enforcement agencies and personnel by
focusing on a smaller set of core issues
in contemporary policing. With the
revision to the SGPLEA, BJS will
produce law enforcement statistics that
will include a consistent set of core
items and topical supplements that will
vary from wave to wave. In addition to
core issues concerning the number and
type of agencies, the nature and
diversity of law enforcement personnel,
employee wages and benefits, agency
budgets and organizational responses to
contemporary law enforcement issues,
the supplemental components of the
2012 SGPLEA will collect information
on the following categories:
a. Recruitment and Retention of Staff
b. Community Policing
c. Information Systems
d. Officer Safety
e. Uses of Force
5. An Estimate of the Total Number of
Respondents and the Amount of Time
Estimated for an Average Respondent to
Respond: Based on pilot testing with a
draft of the 2012 SGPLEA instrument,
the reduction in the total number of
variables included in SGPLEA form
compared to the 2007 LEMAS forms,
and the increased burden on smaller
law enforcement agencies, BJS estimates
that 3,200 respondents will complete
the SGPLEA survey form with an
average burden per respondent of 3
hours.
