Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the Clean Air
Act and Clean Water Act
On August 2, 2023, the Department of
Justice lodged a proposed consent
decree with the United States District
Court for the Northern District of New
York in the lawsuit entitled United
States and State of New York v.
FrieslandCampina Ingredients North
America, Inc., Civil Action No. 3:23–cv–
00937–TJM–ML.
The United States and the State of
New York filed this civil enforcement
action for injunctive relief and civil
penalties pursuant to section 113 of the
Clean Air Act (‘‘CAA’’), 42 U.S.C. 7413,
section 309 of the Clean Water Act
(‘‘CWA’’), 33 U.S.C. 1319, and article 19
of the New York Environmental
Conservation Law (‘‘ECL’’), and
regulations promulgated thereto, against
FrieslandCampina Ingredients North
America, Inc. (‘‘Friesland’’ or
‘‘Defendant’’), as owner and operator of
a hydrolyzed protein powder facility
(‘‘Facility’’) located at 40196 State
Highway 10, Delhi, New York.
The complaint alleges that Friesland
violated the CAA by failing to: obtain a
modification of its title V CAA permit
before its Facility became a major source
of volatile organic compound (‘‘VOC’’)
emissions; perform a Reasonably
Available Control Technology (‘‘RACT’’)
demonstration and implement RACT
before commencing operation of a major
source of VOC emissions; obtain a
permit before constructing a new,
modified, or existing air contamination
source at the Facility; and report and
maintain annual reports of its VOC
(toluene) emissions. The complaint also
alleges that Friesland violated the CWA
by: failing to comply with the New York
State Department of Environmental
Conservation (‘‘NYSDEC’’) State
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(‘‘SPDES’’) Permit No. NY262838;
discharging non-contact cooling water
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:00 Aug 07, 2023
Jkt 259001
to the Delaware River at temperatures
that exceeded the Facility’s permit limit
of 70 degrees Fahrenheit; introducing
total suspended solids into the Village
of Delhi’s publicly owned treatment
works in quantities that caused pass
through and/or interference with the
treatment works; and failing to comply
with its New York SPDES Multi-Sector
General Permit for Stormwater
Discharges Associated with Industrial
Activity (GP–0–17–004—No.
NYR00F872) No Exposure Certification.
The settlement, set forth in a consent
decree lodged with the court, would
resolve violations of the CAA, CWA,
and the ECL, and would require
Friesland to reduce harmful toluene
emissions through the installation and
operation of pollution controls and
comply with its permits. Friesland
would also pay a civil penalty of
$2,880,000 ($1,440,000 of which will be
directed to New York State, exclusively
to fund projects to prevent, abate,
restore, mitigate, or control any
identifiable instance of prior or ongoing
water, land, or air pollution, as
authorized by New York State Finance
Law section 4(11) and New York
Executive Law section 63(16)), and
implement a Supplemental
Environmental Project (‘‘SEP’’) at the
Facility to reduce the adverse impacts of
its thermal discharges and overall
environmental risk to the Delaware
River, by installing a closed-loop
cooling tower system to replace its oncethrough, non-contact cooling water
process that discharges excess heat into
the adjacent watershed. The SEP would
reduce groundwater withdrawals
needed for Friesland’s operations and
the volume of discharges of heated
water to the Delaware River, which
would enhance trout habitat.
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 and State of New
York v. FrieslandCampina Ingredients

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written
comments and suggestions from the
public and affected agencies concerning
the proposed collection of information
are encouraged. Your comments should
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;
—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;
—Evaluate whether and if so how the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected can be
enhanced; 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.
Abstract: The purpose of the
solicitation template is to provide a
framework to develop program-specific
announcements soliciting applications
for funding. A program solicitation
outlines the specifics of the funding
program; describes requirements for
eligibility; instructs an applicant on the
necessary components of an application
under a specific program (e.g., project
activities, project abstract, project
timeline, proposed budget, etc.);
outlines program evaluation and
performance measures; explains
selection criteria and the review
process; and provides registration dates,
deadlines, and instructions on how to
apply within the designated application
systems. The approved solicitation
template collection also includes the
OJP Budget Detail Worksheet; the
Coordinated Tribal Assistance
Solicitation (CTAS) Tribal Community
and Justice Profile, Budget Detail
Worksheet, and Demographic Form; and
the Financial Management and System
of Internal Controls Questionnaire
(FCQ).
The solicitation template collection
was previously streamlined to move
static instructions and guidance that do
not frequently change from year to year
to a Grant Application Resource Guide
web page. The result is a more concise,
user-friendly solicitation document that
draws closer attention to the programspecific details and requirements in
order to lessen confusion for the
applicant. Additionally, it enables the
agency to revise static guidance on the
web page as necessary, reducing the
need to re-issue program solicitations
already released to the public.
Overview of This Information
Collection
1. Type of Information Collection:
Revision of a previously approved
collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection:
OJP Solicitation Template.
3. The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
Department sponsoring the collection:
No form number available. Office of
Justice Programs, Department of Justice.
4. Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as the
obligation to respond: Affected Public:
State, Local and Tribal Governments
(state agencies, tribal governments, local
governments, colleges and universities,
non-profit organizations, for-profit
organizations, and faith-based
organizations). The obligation to

benefit.
5. An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: It is estimated that information
will be collected annually from
approximately 10,000 applicants.
Annual cost to the respondents is based
on the number of hours involved in
preparing and submitting a complete
application package. Mandatory
requirements for an application under
the OJP and CTAS Standard Solicitation
Template include a program narrative;
budget details and narrative, via the OJP
standard BDW; Applicant Disclosure of
Duplication in Cost Items; Applicant
Disclosure and Justification—DOJ High
Risk Grantees; and the FCQ. With the
exception of the Tribal Narrative Profile
and added Demographic form, the
mandatory requirements for an
application under the CTAS Solicitation
Template are the same as those for OJP.

mandatory depending on the type of
program to include, but not limited to:
documentation related to
Administration priority areas of
consideration (e.g., Advancing Racial
Equity and Support for Underserved
Communities Through the Federal
Government), project abstract, indirect
cost rate agreement, tribal authorizing
resolution, timelines, logic models,
memoranda of understanding, letters of
support, resumes, and research and
evaluation independence and integrity.
The estimated public reporting burden
for this collection of information is now
32 hours per application. The 32-hour
estimate is based on the amount of time
to prepare a research and evaluation
proposal, one of the most time intensive
types of application solicited by OJP.
