DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the Toxic
Substances Control Act
consent decree with the United States
District Court for the Southern District
of New York in the lawsuit entitled
United States, et al. v. Lilmor
Management LLC, et al., Civil Action
No. 24 Civ. 9520.
In this action, the United States seeks
injunctive relief pursuant to the Toxic
Substances Control Act (‘‘TSCA’’) and
the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard
Reduction Act of 1992 (‘‘RLBPHRA’’)

(‘‘Lilmor’’), Morris Lieberman, and 49
limited liability companies for failure to
make required disclosures to
prospective tenants about lead-based
paint in their apartments as required by
the Lead Disclosure Rule (24 CFR part
35, subpart A, and 40 CFR part 745,
subpart F). As to Lilmor and Lieberman,
the United States also seeks injunctive
relief under TSCA for failing to comply
with safe work practices and related
requirements during renovations as
required by the Renovation, Repair, and
Painting Rule, 40 CFR part 745. The
United States seeks further relief on a
theory of public nuisance. The State of
New York has joined in the suit to assert
claims under state law.
The consent decree requires the
Defendants to pay a $3.25 million
administrative penalty to the United
States under TSCA and the RLBPHRA
and to perform injunctive relief set forth
in the consent decree, including the
abatement of lead-based paint and the
remediation of substandard living
conditions. In settlement of its claims,
New York State has agreed to payment
of $325,000 to a New York City agency
and creation of a restitution fund of
$2.925 million. The settlement also
provides for the hiring of a third-party
housing expert to oversee settlement
implementation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
103(h) of the Federal Mine Safety and
Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act), 30 U.S.C.
813, authorizes MSHA to collect
information necessary to carry out its
duty in protecting the safety and health
of miners. Title 30 CFR 57.22401 sets
forth the safety requirements for using a
retort to extract oil from shale in
underground metal and nonmetal I–A
and I–B mines (those that operate in a
combustible ore and either liberate
methane or have the potential to liberate
methane based on the history of the
mine or the geological area in which the
mine is located). At present, this applies
only to underground oil shale mines.
The standard requires that prior to
ignition of underground retorts; mine
operators must submit a written ignition
operation plan to the appropriate Mine
Safety and Health Administration
(MSHA) District Manager which
contains site-specific safeguards and
safety procedures for the underground
areas of the mine which are affected by
the retorts. For additional substantive
information about this ICR, see the
related notice published in the Federal
Register on August 15, 2024 (89 FR
66453).
Comments are invited on: (1) whether
