Flint Hills Resources Ingleside, LLC, Civil Action No. 2:24–cv–00079. The complaint alleges that the defendant, Flint Hills Resources, Ingleside, LLC, is civilly liable for violation of section 311 of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1321, and for natural resource damages under section 1002 of the Oil Pollution Act, 33 U.S.C. 2702. The State of Texas is a co-plaintiff for the natural resource damages claims. The complaint addresses the discharge of about 14,000 gallons of crude oil that spilled into Corpus Christi Bay from a ruptured pipe on a dock at the defendant’s crude oil storage terminal in Ingleside, Texas, on the night of December 24, 2022. The complaint further alleges that the oil impacted water quality, beach, and marsh areas and harmed a variety of fish and wildlife, including birds and sea turtles. To resolve the claims, the company will pay a total of $989,212.80. Under the proposed consent decree, the company will pay the United States $400,000 in civil penalties for the Clean Water Act oil discharge violation. This claim is brought by the United States on behalf of the United States Coast Guard. The penalties paid for this claim will be deposited in the federal Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund managed by the National Pollution Funds Center. The Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund is used to pay for federal response activities and to compensate for damages when there is a discharge or substantial threat of discharge of oil or hazardous substances to waters of the United States or adjoining shorelines. VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:47 Apr 11, 2024 Jkt 262001 The company will also pay the United States and the State of Texas, on behalf of the federal and State natural resource trustees, $589,212.80 as natural resource damages under the Oil Pollution Act. The federal trustees are the Department of the Interior, through the Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Department of Commerce’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The State trustees are the Texas General Land Office, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Pursuant to the Oil Pollution Act, each trustee acts on behalf of the public to seek damages for the injury to, destruction of, or loss of natural resources resulting from the discharge of oil into the environment. Under the consent decree, the defendant’s payment provides for $427,000 of the total to be used by the trustees to design, implement, and oversee natural resource restoration projects to compensate for the injuries resulting from the oil discharge. The rest of the funds will be used to repay the trustees for each agency’s work to assess the injuries to natural resources. The United States and the State are coordinating injury assessment and restoration efforts. 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 of America and State of Texas v.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Seleda Perryman, Directorate of Standards and Guidance, OSHA, U.S. Department of Labor; telephone (202) 693–2222. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background The Department of Labor, as part of the continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information collection requirements in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that information is in the desired format, reporting burden (time and costs) is minimal, the collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA’s estimate of the information collection burden is accurate. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or appropriate PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 for enforcement of the OSH Act or for developing information regarding the causes and prevention of occupational injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires that OSHA obtain such information with minimum burden upon employers, especially those operating small businesses, and to reduce to the maximum extent feasible unnecessary duplication of effort in obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657). The following sections describe who uses the information collected under each requirement, as well as how they use it. The purpose of these requirements is to reduce employees’ risk of death or serious injury by ensuring that forging machines used by them are in safe operating condition, and that employees are able to clearly and properly identify manually operated valves and switches. Inspection of Forging Machines, Guards, and Point-of-Operation Protection Devices (Paragraphs (a)(2)(i) and (a)(2)(ii)) Paragraph (a)(2)(i) requires employers to establish periodic and regular maintenance safety checks, and to develop and maintain a certification record of each inspection. The certification record must include the date of inspection, the signature of the person who performed the inspection, and the serial number (or other identifier) of the forging machine inspected. Under paragraph (a)(2)(ii), employers are to schedule regular and frequent inspections of guards and point-of-operation protection devices and prepare a certification record of each inspection that contains the date of the inspection, and the serial number (or other identifier) of the equipment inspected. These inspection certification records provide assurance to employers, employees, and OSHA compliance officers that forging machines, guards, and point-of-operation protection devices have been inspected, and will operate properly and safely, to prevent impact injury and death to employees during forging operations. These records also provide the most efficient means for the compliance officers to determine that an employer is complying with the Standard. Identification of Manually Controlled Valves and Switches (Paragraphs (c), (h)(3), (i)(1) and (i)(2)) These paragraphs require proper and clear identification of manually operated valves and switches on presses, up setter, bolt heading equipment, and rivet-making machines, respectively.
