Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the Clean Air
Act
On April, 22, 2015, the Department of
Justice lodged a proposed Consent
Decree with the United States District
Court for the District of Colorado in the
lawsuit entitled United States and State
of Colorado v. Noble Energy, Inc., Civil
Action No. 1:15–cv–00841.
The case concerns alleged violations
of the Clean Air Act and provisions of
Colorado’s federally approved State
Implementation Plan relating to
emissions of volatile organic
compounds (‘‘VOC’’) from condensate
storage tanks that are, or were until
recently, part of Noble’s oil and natural
gas production operations in the
Denver-Julesburg Basin in Boulder,
Broomfield, and Weld counties,
Colorado, a non-attainment area for
ground level ozone known as the ‘‘8hour Ozone Control Area.’’ At issue are
leaks of vapors from tanks storing
hydrocarbon liquids known as
‘‘pressurized liquids’’ or ‘‘condensate’’
which are separated from natural gas
near the wellhead. The settlement
covers 3,472 tank batteries (referred to
in the Consent Decree as ‘‘Tank
Systems’’) which comprise all of Noble’s
condensate storage tanks in the
nonattainment area equipped with
Vapor Control Systems pursuant to
Colorado Air Quality Control Regulation
Number 7 to achieve required systemwide emission reductions. Under the
terms of the Consent Decree Noble is
VerDate Sep<11>2014
14:41 Apr 24, 2015
Jkt 235001
required to determine the potential peak
flow of vapors from each Tank System,
conduct an engineering evaluation of
the capacity of each Vapor Control
System, undertake corrective actions as
needed, and verify the adequacy of the
corrective actions at all of the locations
covered by the Decree. Noble will
complete two Supplemental
Environmental Projects (‘‘SEPs’’) at a
cost of no less than $2 million. The first
SEP, titled ‘‘Pressurized Hydrocarbon
Liquids and Analysis SEP,’’ will involve
a scientific study of the reliability, and
ways to improve the reliability, of
methods used to sample and analyze
pressurized liquids/condensate at a cost
of at least $1 million. A report of the
study will be prepared and posted on
Noble’s Web site. The second SEP, titled
‘‘Wood Burning Appliance Changeout
SEP,’’ will involve replacing or
retrofitting inefficient, higher polluting
wood-burning or coal appliances in the
non-attainment area at a cost of at least
$1 million. Noble will also spend at
least $4.5 million to complete five
environmental mitigation projects.
Noble will pay a $4.95 million civil
penalty to the United States and
Colorado.
The publication of this notice opens
a period for public comment on the
Consent Decree. Comments should be
addressed to the Assistant Attorney
General, Environment and Natural
Resources Division, and should refer to

four points:
—Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions 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

Overview of this information
collection:
1. Type of Information Collection:
New Voluntary Collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection:
Evaluation of the justice AmeriCorp
Legal Services for Unaccompanied
Children Program.
3. The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
Department sponsoring the collection:
The applicable component within the
Department of Justice is the Office of
Legal Access Programs, Executive Office
for Immigration Review.
4. Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: This information collection is
part of the Evaluation of the justice
AmericCorp (jAC) Leal Services for
Unaccompanied Children Program
(‘‘Program’’), and is funded by the
Executive Office for Immigration
Review (EOIR), U.S. Department of
Justice (DOJ), in cooperation with the
Corporation for National and
Community Services (CNCS). The
Program is intended to provide legal
services to children under the age of 16
who: (1) Are not in the custody of the
Office of Refugee Resettlement or the
Department of Homeland Security, i.e.
have been released to sponsors (who are
sometimes parents or guardians) in the
community; (2) have received a Notice
to Appear in removal proceedings
before EOIR; and, (3) have not had their
cases consolidated with removal
proceedings with a parent or legal
guardian. The Program anticipates being
able to provide services to 3,000
children in the first year, and 5,000
children annually every year thereafter.

The information collection will be
administered by the Vera Center on
Immigration and Justice to provide
performance measurement and
evaluation services that will contribute
to the efficiency and effectiveness of the
Program, to address implementation
challenges, to inform and improve
program design, to modify program
operations and direction, and to
contribute to greater accountability and
transparency. The Program will use four
data collection methods: (1)
Performance measurement data entered
by jAC member organizations in a
secure web-based server for the purpose
of semi-annual reporting to DOJ; (2)
qualitative interviews of jAC program
managers and selected DOJ employees
(e.g. immigration judges and court
administrators) conducted by telephone
and in person during site visits for the
purpose of implementation evaluation;
(3) qualitative interviews with a small
sample of unaccompanied children,
who are provided with legal
representation by the jAC program to
document their understanding of
immigration proceedings as a result of
participation in the program; and (4) a
brief, non-identifiable survey of jAC
members (staff attorneys) at the end of
their terms of service to determine their
satisfaction with participation in the
program.
5. An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: An estimated 100 jAC
members will take part in the survey
annually. Based on similar surveys used
by Vera to evaluate other programs, an
average of 30 minutes per respondent is
needed to complete the survey. The
estimated range of burden for jAC
members is expected to be between 15
minutes to 45 minutes for completion.
An estimated 50 children will take part
in the interview annually. The interview
for assessing the child’s understanding
of immigration proceedings is estimated
to take 1 hour per respondent to
complete. The estimated range of
burden for children interviewed is
expected to be between 30 minutes and
1.5 hours for completion. The factors
considered when creating the burden
estimate were the young age of the
children (between the ages of 12 and 16)
and the fact that the interview would be
conducted in-person. An estimated 200
jAC program stakeholders will take part
in the interview annually. Based on
similar interviews used by Vera to
evaluate other programs, an average of
75 minutes per respondent is needed to
complete the interview. The estimated
range of burden for jAC program

stakeholders is expected to be between
45 minutes to 1.5 hours for completion.
6. An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The estimated public burden
associated with this collection is 350
hours. It is estimated that 100 jAC
members will take 30 minutes to
complete the survey; 50 children will
take 1 hour to complete the interview;
and 200 jAC stakeholders 75 minutes to
complete the interview. The burden
hours for collecting respondent data
sum to 350 hours ((100 jAC members ×
30 minutes = 50 hours) + (50 children
× 1 hour = 50 hours) + (200 jAC
stakeholders × 75 minutes = 250 hours)).

information collection request to the
Office of Management and Budget

factor contributing to the need for this

indicates that the average time needed
to fill out an SF–86 is 150 minutes. This
average is largely based on young
military applicants who have limited
work and travel experiences. When
dealing with high ranking business
leaders they will be older, have more
life and work experiences, taking more
time to locate more details and

45 minutes for completion. An estimated 50 children will take part in
the interview annually. The interview for assessing the child's
understanding of immigration proceedings is estimated to take 1 hour
per respondent to complete. The estimated range of burden for children
interviewed is expected to be between 30 minutes and 1.5 hours for
completion. The factors considered when creating the burden estimate
were the young age of the children (between the ages of 12 and 16) and
the fact that the interview would be conducted in-person. An estimated
200 jAC program stakeholders will take part in the interview annually.
Based on similar interviews used by Vera to evaluate other programs, an
average of 75 minutes per respondent is needed to complete the

with the collection: The estimated public burden associated with this
collection is 350 hours. It is estimated that 100 jAC members will take
30 minutes to complete the survey; 50 children will take 1 hour to
complete the interview; and 200 jAC stakeholders 75 minutes to complete
the interview. The burden hours for collecting respondent data sum to
350 hours ((100 jAC members x 30 minutes = 50 hours) + (50 children x 1
hour = 50 hours) + (200 jAC stakeholders x 75 minutes = 250 hours)).
