Holcim (US) Inc., Civil Action No. 1:21–cv–490 (GTS–DJS). The United States and the State of New York filed this action for injunctive relief and civil penalties brought pursuant to Section 309(b) and (d) of the Clean Water Act (‘‘CWA’’ or the ‘‘Act’’), 33 U.S.C. 1319(b) and (d), and Article 17 of the New York Environmental Conservation Law (‘‘ECL’’), and regulations promulgated thereto, against Holcim (US) Inc. (‘‘Holcim’’ or ‘‘Defendant’’), as owner and as successor-in-interest at Defendant’s Ravena Cement Plant (‘‘Facility’’ or ‘‘Ravena Facility’’) located at 1916 Route 9W in Ravena, New York for illegal discharges of pollutants and other violations of Section 301(a) of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. 1311(a), and for failing to comply with NYSDEC State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit No. NY0005037 (the ‘‘Permit’’), issued pursuant to CWA § 402, 33 U.S.C. 1342. The complaint alleges that, between April 2015 and April 2021, Holcim violated the Clean Water Act through unauthorized discharges of pollutants to tributaries of the Hudson River, and that Holcim’s predecessor-in-interest violated three prior administrative consent orders issued from 2011 to 2015. This action seeks to recover monetary penalties for these violations as well as injunctive relief compelling Holcim to come into compliance with the CWA, the ECL, and their respective implementing regulations. The settlement, set forth in a consent decree lodged with the court, requires Holcim to comply with the terms of the Permit, pay an $850,000 civil penalty ($212,000 of which will be directed to a NYS Environmental Benefit Project improving stormwater management at Coeymans Landing Park in the Town of Coeymans, New York), and make other physical and operational improvements to the Facility.

ACTION: Notice of availability and request for comments. AGENCY: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB), on behalf of the cochairs of the Interagency Working Group on the Social Cost of Greenhouse Gases, including the Council of Economic Advisors (CEA) and the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), request comments on ‘‘Technical Support Document: Social Cost of Carbon, Methane, and Nitrous Oxide SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:55 May 06, 2021 Jkt 253001 Interim Estimates under Executive Order 13990,’’ released on February 26, 2021, available at: https:// www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/ uploads/2021/02/TechnicalSupport Document_SocialCostofCarbonMethane NitrousOxide.pdf. The estimates of the social cost of carbon (SC–CO2), social cost of methane (SC–CH4), and social cost of nitrous oxide (SC–N2O), collectively called the Social Cost of Greenhouse Gases (SC–GHG), are used to estimate the value to society of marginal reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, or conversely, the social costs of increasing such emissions, in the policy making process.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Federal agencies began regularly incorporating SC–CO2 estimates in benefit-cost analyses conducted under Executive Order (E.O.) 12866 in 2008, following a court ruling in which an agency was ordered to consider the value of reducing carbon dioxide emissions in a rulemaking process. In 2009, an original interagency working group (IWG) was established to ensure that agencies were using the best available science and to promote consistency in the estimated values. The IWG published SC–CO2 estimates in 2010. These estimates were updated in 2013. In August 2016, the IWG published a technical support document (TSD) providing SC–CH4 and PO 00000 Frm 00088 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 24669 SC–N2O estimates using methodologies that are consistent with the methodology underlying the SC–CO2 estimates. The Technical Support Document (interim TSD) released on February 26, 2021, provides an interim update of SC– GHG estimates, which are reported in 2020 dollars, but otherwise use identical methods and inputs to those presented in the 2016 version of the TSD and its Addendum, including the same three peer-reviewed integrated assessment models. In addition, the interim TSD discusses scientific and economic advances that have been made since the time of the last updates to the IWG SC– GHG estimates. This notice requests public comment on the interim TSD as well as on how best to incorporate the latest peer-reviewed science and economics literature in order to develop an updated set of SC–GHG estimates. CEA, OMB, and OSTP request that comments be submitted electronically to OMB by [45 days after publication in the Federal Register] through www.regulations.gov. Outline of Notice 1. Background 2. Issues for Comment 1. Background A robust and scientifically founded assessment of the positive and negative impacts that an action can be expected to have on society is a core tenet of the policy-making process. This is particularly important in the area of climate change. In order to meet this charge, the Executive Branch has developed a set of estimates that represent the monetized impact to society associated with an incremental change in greenhouse gas emissions. These estimates have been developed over the course of many years, using the best science and economics available, and with input from the public. The latest iteration of this longstanding policy was launched by the re-constituted Interagency Working Group on the Social Cost of Greenhouse Gases, which was re-established by Executive Oder (E.O.) 13990. The reconstituted IWG is committed to ensuring that the estimates agencies consider when monetizing the value of changes in greenhouse gas emissions resulting from regulations and other relevant agency actions continue to reflect the best available science and methodologies. In order to meet this charge, the IWG issued an interim Technical Support Document on February 26, 2021. It presents interim estimates of the social cost of carbon, methane, and nitrous oxide, as directed E:\FR\FM\07MYN1.SGM 07MYN1
