investigating, and prosecuting instances
of elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation
and violence against individuals with
disabilities, including domestic violence
and sexual assault, against older or
disabled individuals. Grantees fund
projects that focus on providing training
for criminal justice professionals to
enhance their ability to address elder
abuse, neglect and exploitation in their
communities and enhanced services to
address these crimes.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond/reply: It is estimated that it will
take the approximately 18 respondents
(Elder Abuse Program grantees)
approximately one hour to complete a
semi-annual progress report. The semiannual progress report is divided into
sections that pertain to the different
types of activities in which grantees
may engage. An Elder Abuse Program
grantee will only be required to
complete the sections of the form that
pertain to its own specific activities.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The total annual hour burden
to complete the data collection forms is
36 hours, that is 18 grantees completing
a form twice a year with an estimated
completion time for the form being one
hour.

manufacturing facilities owned and
operated by Columbian Chemicals (now
‘‘Birla’’). The Consent Decree requires
Defendant to reduce harmful SO2, NOX,
and PM emissions through the
installation and operation of pollution
controls at its North Bend, Louisiana
and Hickok, Kansas facilities. Defendant
also agreed to spend $375,000 to fund
environmental mitigation projects that
will further reduce emissions and
benefit communities adversely affected
by the pollution from the facilities, and
pay a civil penalty of $650,000.
The proposed First Amendment to
Consent Decree would, if entered by the
Court, make modifications to the
Consent Decree to address and resolve
claims by Defendant that force majeure
events caused delays in meeting certain
compliance deadlines at Defendant’s
Borger, Texas facility. The modifications
extend certain deadlines in the Consent
Decree, while maintaining Defendant’s
ultimate obligation to install and
operate pollution controls at its
facilities.
