Foundation and the Observatory. We
have also prepared an EA titled,
‘‘Issuance of an Incidental Harassment
Authorization to Lamont Doherty Earth
Observatory to Take Marine Mammals
by Harassment Incidental to a Marine
Geophysical Survey in the Northwest
Atlantic Ocean, June–August, 2014,’’
and FONSI in accordance with NEPA
and NOAA Administrative Order 216–6.
We provided relevant environmental
information to the public through our
notice of proposed Authorization (79 FR
14779, March 17, 2014) and considered
public comments received prior to
finalizing our EA and deciding whether
or not to issue a Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI). We
concluded that issuance of an Incidental
Harassment Authorization would not
significantly affect the quality of the
human environment and have issued a
FONSI. Because of this finding, it is not
necessary to prepare an environmental
impact statement for the issuance of an
Authorization to the Observatory for
this activity. Our EA and FONSI for this
activity are available upon request (see
ADDRESSES).

CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY
COMMISSION
In the Matter of:
HMI Industries Inc.
CPSC Docket No.: 14–C0003
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
1. In accordance with the Consumer
Product Safety Act (CPSA), 15 U.S.C.
§§ 2051–2089 and 16 C.F.R. § 1118.20,
HMI Industries Inc. (HMI), and the U.S.
Consumer Product Safety Commission
(Commission), through its staff (staff),
hereby enter into this Settlement
Agreement (Agreement). The Agreement
and the incorporated attached Order
(Order) resolve staff’s charges set forth
below.
THE PARTIES
2. The Commission is an independent
federal regulatory agency established
pursuant to, and responsible for, the
enforcement of the CPSA. By executing
this Agreement, staff is acting on behalf
of the Commission, pursuant to 16
C.F.R. § 1118.20(b). The Commission
issues the Order under the provisions of
the CPSA.
3. HMI is a corporation, organized and
existing under the laws of the state of
Delaware with its principal corporate
office located in Strongsville, Ohio. HMI
is a manufacturer of floor cleaners and
indoor air purifiers.
STAFF CHARGES
4. Between September 2004 and
August 2006, HMI manufactured and
distributed approximately 44,000 Filter
Queen Majestic 360 floor cleaners
(Subject Products, or Floor Cleaners).
The Floor Cleaners were sold through
independent distributors nationwide for
approximately $1,800.
5. The Floor cleaners are ‘‘consumer
products,’’ and at all relevant times,
HMI was a ‘‘manufacturer’’ of these
consumer products, which were
‘‘distributed in commerce,’’ as those
terms are defined or used in sections
3(a)(5) and (11), of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C.
§ 2052(a)(5) and (11).
6. The Floor Cleaners are defective
because their wiring can overheat,
causing electrical arcing and melting.
This poses a burn hazard to consumers.
7. HMI received notice of the defect
shortly after distribution began in
September 2004. Between 2005 and
2008, HMI received hundreds of reports
of electrical arcing, sparking, and fire,
including reports of property damage
