Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 211 / Thursday, November 2, 2023 / Notices
Registrant’s registration, the burden
shifts to the registrant to show why it
can be entrusted with the responsibility
carried by a registration. Garret Howard
Smith, M.D., 83 FR 18882, 18910 (2018).
When a registrant has committed acts
inconsistent with the public interest, it
must both accept responsibility and
demonstrate that it has undertaken
corrective measures. Holiday CVS,
L.L.C., dba CVS Pharmacy Nos 219 and
5195, 77 FR 62316, 62339 (2012)
(internal quotations omitted). Trust is
necessarily a fact-dependent
determination based on individual
circumstances; therefore, the Agency
looks at factors such as the acceptance
of responsibility, the credibility of that
acceptance as it relates to the
probability of repeat violations or
behavior, the nature of the misconduct
that forms the basis for sanction, and the
Agency’s interest in deterring similar
acts. See, e.g., Robert Wayne Locklear,
M.D., 86 FR 33738, 33746 (2021).
Here, Registrant did not request a
hearing, submit a corrective action plan,
respond to the OSC/ISO, or otherwise
avail itself of the opportunity to refute
the Government’s case. As such,
Registrant has made no representations
as to its future compliance with the CSA
nor made any demonstration that it can
be entrusted with registration.
Moreover, the evidence presented by the
Government clearly shows that
Registrant violated the CSA, further
indicating that Registrant cannot be
entrusted. Accordingly, the Agency will
order the revocation of Registrant’s
registration.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed First
Modification To Consent Decree Under
the Clean Water Act
On October 25, 2023, the Department
of Justice lodged a proposed first
modification to the consent decree
(‘‘First Modification’’) with the United
States District Court for the District of
Massachusetts in the lawsuit entitled
United States and Commonwealth of
Massachusetts v. City of Revere,
Massachusetts, Civil Action No. 1:10–
cv–11460 (D. Mass.).
The United States filed this lawsuit in
2010 under the Clean Water Act (‘‘Act’’).
The complaint sought injunctive relief
and civil penalties for violations of the
Act in connection with the City of
Revere’s operation of its sewage
collection system and municipal
separate storm sewer system (‘‘MS4’’).
The allegations in the Complaint were
resolved in a consent decree entered on
November 17, 2010 (‘‘Consent Decree’’)
in which the City of Revere agreed,
among other things, to develop and
implement a Comprehensive
Wastewater Management Plan and
Comprehensive Stormwater
Management Plan (‘‘CWMP/CSMP’’) to
ensure identification and
implementation of capital projects
necessary to eliminate sanitary sewer
overflows (‘‘SSOs’’) and bring its MS4
into compliance with National Pollutant
Elimination System (‘‘NPDES’’) permit
requirements.
The proposed First Modification
replaces the Consent Decree CWMP/
CSMP provisions with new provisions
that require the City of Revere to update
portions of its CWMP/CSMP by
December 31, 2026. This update must
include a summary of work completed
pursuant to the Consent Decree,
assessment of the City of Revere sewer
system current service level and
associated review of capacity-related
SSOs, development and assessment of
alternatives to achieve the goal of the
Consent Decree to prevent collection
system surcharges or capacity-related
PO 00000

SSOs events, and a recommended plan
and implementation schedule
identifying projects to attain the target
level of sewer system service of a tenyear design storm. The new provisions
also extend the deadline for completion
of all work proposed under Revere’s
CWMP/CSMP to December 31, 2038.
The publication of this notice opens
a period for public comment on the First
Modification. Comments should be
addressed to the Assistant Attorney
General, Environment and Natural
Resources Division, and should refer to
United States and Commonwealth of
Massachusetts v. City of Revere,
Massachusetts, Civil Action No. 1:10–
cv–11460, D.J. Ref. No. 90–5–1–1–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Producer Price Index (PPI) is a
Principal Federal Economic Indicator
consisting of a family of indexes that
measures the average change over time
in the selling prices received by
domestic producers of goods and
services. PPIs measure price change
from the perspective of the seller. This
contrasts with other measures, such as
the Consumer Price Index (CPI), that
measure price change from the
purchaser’s perspective. About 10,000
PPIs for individual products and groups
of products are released each month.
The PPI data are widely used by the
business community as well as by
government and academia. In particular,
the data are used as an economic
indicator playing a crucial role in
market analysis, as a deflator of other
economic series, the basis for the
calculation of price adjustments for
contracts and purchase agreements, and
as an input to economic research. These
uses highlight the necessity of the PPI
in order to understand the economy.
PPI data meets a wide range of
government needs by providing a
description of the magnitude and
composition of price changes within the
economy. Government agencies view
these indexes as sensitive indicators of
the economic environment and closely
follow each monthly release of statistics.
PPI data are vital in helping the
President and Congress set fiscal
spending targets. The Federal Reserve
PO 00000
Frm 00069
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

Board Open Market Committee monitors
producer prices to help determine
monetary policy. Federal policy makers
at the Department of the Treasury and
the Council of Economic Advisors
utilize these statistics to help interpret
the economic environment and make
decisions based upon these
interpretations. Many dollardenominated measurements of
economic performance, such as the
Gross Domestic Product (GDP), require
accurate price data for the conversion of
nominal dollars into real dollars.
National income accounting figures
must also be inflation free in order to
remain relevant to fiscal and monetary
policy makers setting objectives. Price
adjustment clauses in government
purchasing contracts commonly use one
or more PPIs. According to a
conservative estimate, hundreds-ofbillions of dollars’ worth of contracts
and purchase agreements employ PPIs
as part of price adjustment clauses.
Failure to calculate these price data
would prolong the time frame needed
for accurate recognition of and
appropriate adaptation to economic
events.
The private sector also makes
extensive use of PPI data. Researchers
commonly use producer prices to probe
and measure the interaction of market
forces. Private firms use PPIs for
contract escalation and price
adjustment. The Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) recommends using PPI
data for certain kinds of tax related
inventory accounting, such as Last-InFirst-Out (LIFO). Private businesses
extensively use PPIs for planning and
operations. Firms often compare the
prices they pay and receive with
changes in appropriate PPIs.
Economic researchers and forecasters
also put PPIs to regular use. They use
PPI data to better understand market
forces. Research topics requiring
producer price data include studying
elasticities, potential lead and lag
structures within price changes, and the
identification of prices that cause major
influence throughout the economy.
Policy-makers, businesses, and
researchers all require complete
descriptions of price change trends if
they are to perform effectively.
The expansive coverage of PPIs makes
them very valuable to the users
described above as well as many others.
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the
extension of the PPI survey.
The PPI collection is not a one-time
project with an end date. The purpose
of the PPI collection is to accumulate
