DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the Clean Air
Act
jspears on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
On September 10, 2019, the
Department of Justice lodged a proposed
Consent Decree with the United States
District Court for the District of Arizona
in the lawsuit entitled United States v.
Nouryon Functional Chemicals LLC f/k/
a Akzo Nobel Functional Chemicals
LLC, Civil Action No. 1:19–cv–00626.
The United States filed this civil
enforcement action under the federal
Clean Air Act. The United States’
complaint seeks injunctive relief and
civil penalties for violations of the
regulations that govern emissions from
the defendant’s sulfuric acid
manufacturing facility in Axis,
Alabama. The proposed consent decree
resolves the claims alleged in the
complaint and requires the defendant to
perform injunctive relief that will
significantly reduce emissions of sulfur
dioxide and sulfuric acid mist, as well
as other air pollutants, at its facility, and
to pay a civil penalty of $300,000.
Additionally, the proposed consent
decree requires the defendant to
perform an environmental mitigation
project that will benefit communities
adversely affected by pollution from its
facility.
The publication of this notice opens
a period for public comment on the
proposed consent decree. Comments
should be addressed to the Assistant
Attorney General, Environment and
Natural Resources Division, and should
refer to United States v. Akzo Nobel
Functional Chemicals LLC, D.J. Ref. No.

address one or more of the following
four points:
—Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Bureau of Justice
Statistics, including whether the
information will have practical utility;

Overview of This Information
Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection:
Revision of a currently approved
collection.
(2) The Title of the Form/Collection:
2020 Police Public Contact Survey.
(3) The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
Department sponsoring the collection:
The form number for the questionnaire
is PPCS–1. The applicable component
within the Department of Justice is the
Bureau of Justice Statistics, in the Office
of Justice Programs.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Respondents will be persons
16 years or older living in households
located throughout the United States
sampled for the National Crime
Victimization Survey (NCVS). The PPCS
will be conducted as a supplement to
the NCVS in all sample households for
a six (6) month period. The PPCS is
typically conducted about every three
years, with the last administration
occurring in 2018. BJS is conducting the
next PPCS one year ahead of schedule,
to include an item on how residents
reacted during police contact that was
not asked in 2018, but was asked in
previous iterations of the survey. The
PPCS is one component of the BJS effort
to fulfill the mandate set forth by the
Violent Crime Control and Law
Enforcement Act of 1994 to collect,
evaluate, and publish data on the use of
excessive force by law enforcement
personnel. The goal of the collection is
to report national statistics that provide

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 179 / Monday, September 16, 2019 / Notices
a better understanding of the types,
frequency, and outcomes of contacts
between the police and the public,
public perceptions of police behavior
during the contact, and the conditions
under which police force may be
threatened or used. BJS plans to publish
this information in reports and reference
it when responding to queries from the
U.S. Congress, Executive Office of the
President, the U.S. Supreme Court, state
officials, international organizations,
researchers, students, the media, and
others interested in criminal justice
statistics.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: An estimate of the total
number of respondents is 108,806.
About 75% of respondents (81,713) will
have no police contact and will
complete the short interview with an
average burden of four minutes. Among
the 25% of respondents (27,093) who
experienced police contact, the time to
ask the detailed questions regarding the
nature of the contact is estimated to take
an average of 8 minutes. Respondents
will be asked to respond to this survey
only once during the six-month period.
The burden estimate is based on data
from the 2018 administration of the
PPCS.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: There are an estimated 9,060
total burden hours associated with this
collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks PRA authority for the
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration Alliance Program
information collection. OSHA’s Alliance
Program is a structure for working with
groups that are committed to worker
safety and health. The program enables
OSHA to enter into a voluntary
cooperative relationship with industry,
labor and other groups to improve
workplace safety and health, prevent
workplace fatalities, injuries and
illnesses, and to reach employers and
workers that OSHA may not otherwise
PO 00000
Frm 00070
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
reach through traditional methods.
OSHA collects information from
organizations that are signatories to an
Alliance agreement through meetings,
informal conversations and data forms.
OSHA will use the collected
information to develop Alliance
agreements, support Alliance activities
and Alliance agreement objectives, and
develop annual and program-wide
reports. Occupational Safety and Health
Act of 1970 section (2)(b)(1) authorizes
this information collection. See 29
U.S.C. 651(2)(b)(1).
This proposed information collection
is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a
collection of information, and the public
is generally not required to respond to
an information collection, unless the
OMB, under the PRA, approves it and
displays a currently valid OMB Control
Number. In addition, notwithstanding
any other provisions of law, no person
shall generally be subject to penalty for
failing to comply with a collection of
information if the collection of
information does not display a valid
Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a)
and 1320.6. For additional information,
see the related notice published in the
Federal Register on June 21, 2018 (83
FR 28868).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within thirty-(30) days of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments
should mention OMB ICR Reference
Number 201902–1218–001. The OMB is
particularly interested in comments
that:
• 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
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.
