DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree and Environmental
Settlement Agreement Under the Clean
Air Act
On May 4, 2020, the United States
Department of Justice lodged a proposed
Consent Decree and Environmental
Settlement Agreement (‘‘Settlement
Agreement’’) in In re PES Holdings, LLC,
et al., Civil Action No. 19–11626 (Bankr.
D. Del.), with the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware.
The United States, on behalf of the
United States Environmental Protection
Agency (‘‘EPA’’), filed this Settlement
Agreement with PES Holdings, LLC and
its Debtor Affiliates (collectively the
‘‘Debtors’’), including Debtor
Philadelphia Energy Solutions Refining
and Marketing LLC (‘‘PESRM’’), to
resolve a dispute about the obligations
and liabilities of PESRM and related
parties under the Clean Air Act’s
(‘‘CAA’’) Renewable Fuel Standard
(‘‘RFS’’) program, which requires
refiners to blend renewable fuels into
gasoline or diesel fuel or obtain
Renewable Identification Numbers
(‘‘RINs’’) to meet Renewable Volume
Obligations (‘‘RVOs’’) and a 2018
Consent Decree and Environmental
Settlement Agreement in In re PES
Holdings, LLC, et. al., Case No. 18–
10122 (KG) (‘‘2018 Consent Decree’’).
Under the Settlement Agreement,
Debtors have agreed to purchase and
retire up to 161,830,963 Quality
Assurance Plan (‘‘QAP’’) verified Q–
RINs to resolve Debtors’ RINs liability
under the 2018 Consent Decree and the
CAA’s RFS program. A Q–RIN is a type
of RIN that a registered independent
third-party auditor verified using an
approved QAP, and in accordance with
the audit process laid out in 40 CFR
80.1472. See 40 CFR 80.1401. The
Debtors’ Chapter 11 Plan (‘‘Plan’’)
establishes a Liquidating Trust, which
will, among other things, purchase and
retire Q–RINs within 90 days of the
Effective Date of the Settlement
Agreement or the Plan, whichever
occurs later, subject to an actual price
paid cap of $10 million as provided in
VerDate Sep<11>2014

the Settlement Agreement. If PESRM,
any Debtor, or the Liquidating Trust,
receives an Excise Tax Refund from the
United States, the Liquidating Trust will
purchase and retire any remaining RIN
balance within 90 days of receiving the
refund; this is subject to the limitation
that the Liquidating Trust’s RIN
retirement obligation ends when the
Liquidating Trust has (a) retired the full
amount of 161,830,963 Q–RINs, (b)
purchased and retired $22 million
worth of Q–RINs, or (c) purchased and
retired $10 million worth of Q–RINs
plus the number of Q–RINs worth the
Excise Tax Refund from the United
States if the refund is less than $12
million.
The publication of this notice opens
a period for public comment on the
Settlement Agreement. Comments
should be addressed to the Section
Chief, Environment and Natural
Resources Division, Environmental
Enforcement Section, and should refer

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Notice of a Change in Status of the
Extended Benefit (EB) Program for
Rhode Island
Employment and Training
Administration, Labor.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
Notice.
This notice announces a
change in benefit payment status under
the EB program for Rhode Island.
The following change has occurred
since the publication of the last notice
regarding Rhode Island’s EB status:
Rhode Island’s 13-week insured
unemployment rate (IUR) for the week
ending April 11, 2020 was 5.49 percent,
which exceeds 120 percent of the
corresponding rate in the prior two
years. This IUR caused Rhode Island to
be triggered ‘‘on’’ to an EB period that
began April 26, 2020. The State will
remain in an EB period for a minimum
of 13 weeks.
SUMMARY:
U.S.
Department of Labor, Employment and
Training Administration, Office of
Unemployment Insurance, Room S–

https://oui.doleta.gov/unemploy/claims_
arch.asp.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information for Claimants
The duration of benefits payable in
the EB program and the terms and
conditions on which they are payable
are governed by the Federal-State
Extended Unemployment Compensation
Act of 1970, as amended, and the
operating instructions issued to the
states by the U.S. Department of Labor.
In the case of a state beginning an EB
period, the State Workforce Agency will
furnish a written notice of potential
entitlement to each individual who has
exhausted all rights to regular benefits
and is potentially eligible for EB (20
CFR 615.13(c)(1)).
Persons who believe they may be
entitled to EB, or who wish to inquire
about their rights under the program,
should contact their State Workforce
Agency.

Notice on Reallotment of Workforce
Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA)
Title I Formula Allotted Funds for
Dislocated Worker Activities for
Program Year (PY) 2019
Employment and Training
Administration (ETA), Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Workforce Innovation
Opportunity Act, requires the Secretary
of Labor (Secretary) to conduct
reallotment of certain WIOA formula
allotted funds based on ETA 9130
financial reports submitted by states as
of the end of the prior PY. This notice
publishes the dislocated worker PY
2019 funds for recapture by state and
the amount to be reallotted to eligible
states.
SUMMARY:
DATES:
These funds are effective May 8,
2020.
Ms.
Kimberly Vitelli, Acting Administrator,
U.S. Department of Labor, Office of
Workforce Investment, Employment and
Training Administration, Room C–4510,
200 Constitution Avenue NW,
Washington, DC. Telephone (202) 693–
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
In the
Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 Appropriations
Act, Congress appropriated WIOA PY
2019 funds in two portions: (1) Funds
available for obligation July 1, 2019 (i.e.,
PY 2019 ‘‘base’’ funds), and (2) funds
available for obligation October 1, 2019
(i.e., FY 2020 ‘‘advance’’ funds).
Together, these two portions make up
the complete PY 2019 WIOA funding.
Training and Employment Guidance
Letter (TEGL) No. 16–18 announced
WIOA allotments based on this
appropriation and TEGL No. 16–17
alerted states to the recapture and
reallotment of funds’ provisions based
on obligations of PY 2018 funding, as
required under WIOA Section 132(c).
This section and 127(c) of WIOA
requires the Secretary of Labor
(Secretary) to conduct reallotment of
excess unobligated WIOA Adult, Youth,
and Dislocated Worker formula funds
based on ETA 9130 financial reports
submitted by states at the end of the
prior program year (i.e., PY 2018).
WIOA regulations at 20 CFR 683.135
describe the procedures the Secretary
uses for recapture and reallotment of
funds. ETA will not recapture any PY
2019 funds for the Adult and Youth
programs because there are no states
where PY 2018 unobligated funds
exceed the statutory requirements of 20
percent of state allotted funds. However,
for the Dislocated Worker program,
Puerto Rico had unobligated PY 2018
funds in excess of 20 percent of its
allotment. Therefore, ETA will
recapture a total of $2,677,483 of PY
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
2019 funding from Puerto Rico and
reallot those funds to the remaining
eligible states, as required by WIOA
Section 132(c).
ETA will issue a Notice of Award to
the states to reflect the recapture and
reallotment of these funds. The
adjustment of funds will be made to the
FY 2020 advance portion of the PY 2019
allotments, which ETA issued in
October 2019. The attached tables
display the net changes to PY 2019
formula allotments.
WIOA and its implementing
regulations do not provide specific
requirements by which states must
distribute realloted funds, so states have
flexibility to determine the methodology
used. For any state subject to recapture
of funds, WIOA Section 132(c)(5)
requires the Governor to prescribe
equitable procedures for reacquiring
funds from the state and local areas.
As mentioned, the recapture/
reallotment adjustments will be made to
the FY 2020 advance portion of the PY
2019 allotment. Therefore, for reporting
purposes, states must reflect the
recapture/reallotment amount (decrease
or increase) in the ‘‘Total Federal Funds
Authorized’’ line of any affected FY
2020 ETA 9130 financial reports (State
Dislocated Worker Activities, Statewide
Rapid Response, Local Dislocated
Worker Activities) in a manner
consistent with the method of
distribution of these amounts to state
and local areas used by the state. The
state must include an explanation of the
adjustment in the remarks section of the
adjusted reports.
