DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act
On January 20, 2021, the Department
of Justice lodged a proposed consent
decree with the United States District
Court for the District of Utah in the
lawsuit entitled United States of
America v. Magnesium Corporation of
America, et al., Civil Action No.
2:01CV0040–DBB.
If approved by the court, the consent
decree would resolve the claims of the
United States against US Magnesium
LLC (‘‘USM’’), the Renco Group, Inc.
(‘‘Group’’), the Ira Leon Rennert
Revocable Trusts (‘‘Trusts’’), and Mr. Ira
Leon Rennert (‘‘Rennert’’), collectively
‘‘Defendants,’’ for injunctive relief and
civil penalties for alleged violations of
the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (‘‘RCRA’’) at USM’s
magnesium production facility in
Rowley, Utah. The consent decree
would require USM to: (1) Make
extensive process modifications at the
facility, including construction of a
filtration plant to treat all wastewaters,
that will reduce the environmental
impacts from its production operations
and ensure greater protection for its
workers; (2) establish appropriate
financial assurance for closure or
corrective action of certain waste
management areas in the operating areas
of the facility; (3) pay a civil penalty of
$250,000; and (4) perform the CERCLA
Response Action, which includes
construction of a barrier wall around
1,700 acres of the operating portions of
the facility to prevent leaks or breaches
of hazardous materials to the Great Salt
Lake, and the payment of EPA costs
incurred in connection with the
CERCLA Response Action.
In return for the Settling Defendants’
compliance with these requirements,
the consent decree would resolve past
RCRA violations at the Rowley facility
that the United States’ complaint
alleges. Provided that the Settling
Defendants remain in compliance with
the consent decree’s requirements,
including payment of EPA CERCLA
Response Action costs, the United
States would covenant not to sue the

Abstract
Proposed Project: The purpose of the
NSF Graduate Research Fellowship
Program is to help ensure the vitality
and diversity of the scientific and
engineering workforce of the United
States. The program recognizes and
supports outstanding graduate students
who are pursuing research-based
master’s and doctoral degrees in
science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics (STEM) and in STEM
education. The GRFP provides three
years of support, to be used during a
five-year fellowship period, for the
graduate education of individuals who
have demonstrated their potential for
significant research achievements in
STEM and STEM education.
The Graduate Research Fellowship
Program uses several sources of
information in assessing and
documenting program performance and
impact. These sources include reports
from program evaluation, the GRFP
Committee of Visitors, and data
compiled from the applications. In
addition, GRFP Fellows submit annual
activity reports to NSF.
The GRFP Completion report is
proposed as a continuing component of
the annual reporting requirement for the
program. This report, submitted by the
GRFP Institution, certifies the
completion status of Fellows at the
institution (e.g., in progress, completed,
graduated, transferred, or withdrawn).
The existing Completion Report, Grants
Roster Report, and the Program Expense
Report comprise the GRFP Annual
Reporting requirements from the
Grantee GRFP institution. Through
submission of the Completion Report to
NSF GRFP institutions certify the
current status of all GRFP Fellows at the
institution as either: In Progress,
Graduated, Transferred, or Withdrawn.
For Graduate Fellows with Graduated
status, the graduation date is a required
reporting element. Collection of this
information allows the program to
obtain information on the current status
of Fellows, the number and/or
percentage of Graduate Fellowship
recipients who complete a science or
engineering graduate degree, and an
estimate of time to degree completion.
The report must be certified and
submitted by the institution’s
designated Coordinating Official (CO)
annually.
Use of the Information: The
completion report data provides NSF
with accurate Fellow information
regarding completion of the Fellows’
