Justice lodged a proposed Consent
Decree with the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of
California in the lawsuit entitled United
States v. Sinister Manufacturing
Company, Inc., Civil Action No. 2:23–

The United States filed this lawsuit
under the Clean Air Act (CAA). The
United States’ complaint names Sinister
Manufacturing Company, Inc. (Sinister)
as the defendant. The complaint
requests civil penalties and injunctive
relief for Sinister’s alleged unlawful
manufacture, sale, and offer for sale of
aftermarket automotive devices that
bypass, defeat or render inoperative
emissions controls. Sinister signed the
Consent Decree, under which it agrees
to pay a $500,000 civil penalty based on
its limited financial ability to pay. The
Consent Decree also prohibits Sinister
from making, selling or offering to sell
defeat products, including delete tuners,
and prevents Sinister from transferring
intellectual property that would allow
others to make such products. To ensure
compliance with these requirements,
Sinister will implement an internal
training program and notify its

the Consent Decree.

The
Department’s regulations contain
information collections that constitute
mandatory third-party disclosure
requirements applicable to the majority
of Employee Retirement Income
Security Act (ERISA)-covered pension
and welfare benefit plans. The
Department has determined that these
information collections are necessary in
order to ensure the participants and
beneficiaries in employee benefit plans
covered under ERISA receive adequate
information about the benefits due to
them and their rights under the plans.
For additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
February 8, 2023 (88 FR 8317).
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless the OMB
approves it and displays a currently
valid OMB Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid OMB Control Number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
DOL seeks PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3)
years. OMB authorization for an ICR

receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review.
