Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the Clean Water
Act
On September 18, 2014, the
Department of Justice lodged a proposed
Consent Decree with the United States
District Court for the Northern District
of California in the lawsuit entitled
United States of America v. Sims Group
USA Corporation d/b/a Sims Metal
Management, Civil Action No. 3:14–
CV–4209.
The United States of America brought
claims on behalf of the United States
Environmental Protection Agency under
Sections 301 and 402 of the Clean Water
Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251, et seq., against
Sims Group USA Corporation d/b/a
Sims Metal Management.
The United States alleges that the
violations arose from Sims’ industrial
activities at the Port of Redwood City in
Redwood City, California. The United
States alleges that Sims allowed metal
and other material to fall from its shiploading conveyor directly into Redwood
Creek. In addition, the Complaint
alleges that Sims violated several
requirements of its General Permit
authorization for stormwater discharges
associated with industrial activity. Sims
encapsulated its ship-loading conveyor
and came into compliance with the
CWA in March 2012. It came into
compliance with the General Permit in
April 2013.
The proposed Consent Decree would
require Sims to pay $189,500 in civil
penalties for its violations, and to study
and remediate contaminated sediments
near the conveyor.

a period for public comment on the
proposed Consent Decree. Comments

ACTION:
57133
This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for an
information collection that provides the
public a means to request for assistance
from the EBSA. The EBSA assists
employee benefit plan participants in
understanding their rights,
responsibilities, and benefits under
employee benefit law and intervenes
informally on participants’ behalf with
the plan sponsor in order to help them
obtain health and retirement benefits
that may have been inappropriately
denied. Such informal intervention can
avert the necessity for a formal
investigation or a civil action. The EBSA
maintains a toll-free telephone number
through which inquirers can reach
Benefits Advisors in ten Regional
Offices. The EBSA has also made a
request for assistance form available on
its Web site for those wishing to obtain
assistance in this manner.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
