ACTION: Notice of intent.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Jacksonville District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
intends to prepare a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the
Everglades Restoration Transition Plan (ERTP)--Phase 1. The ERTP will
supersede the 2006 IOP for the Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow which
currently regulates operations for Central & South Florida (C&SF)
project features in the south Dade area. The ERTP Phase 1 aims to
implement operational flexibilities based on multi-species management.
This project is ``phase 1'' in anticipation of subsequent operational
modifications that will be needed to move towards Everglades
restoration. Development of the plan will include evaluation of
relevant new species information and hydrological data. The ERTP Draft
EIS will evaluate the anticipated affects of implementation of
operations to support the recommendations of the U. S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (FWS) Biological Opinion.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Under the Clean Air Act
Under 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby given that on February 22,
2010, a proposed Consent Decree in United States v. Cummins, Inc., case
number 1:10-cv-00275, was lodged with the United States District Court
for the District of Columbia.
The Decree resolves the claims of the United States against
Cummins, Inc. (``Cummins'') for violations of Title II of the Clean Air
Act, 42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq. (the ``Act''). The United States alleged
that Cummins sold, offered for sale, or introduced or delivered for
introduction into commerce new motor vehicle engines not covered by
certificates of conformity, because the engines as actually sold,
offered for sale, or introduced or delivered for introduction into
commerce are materially different from the engines described in
Cummins' applications for certificates of conformity, in that the
engines were not equipped with the required emission control system or
aftertreatment device. Under the proposed Decree, Cummins shall: Pay a
penalty of $2.1 million, of which $1,680,000 shall be paid to the
United States and the remainder to the State of California under a
parallel administrative agreement; institute a voluntary recall of the
affected engines; retire 167.1 tons of NOX and 30.5 tons of
PM, the entire amount of excess pollution attributable to the
violation; and dismiss with prejudice a pending Petition for Review in
the DC Circuit.
The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30)
days from the date of this publication comments relating to the Decree.
Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General,
Environment and Natural Resources Division, and either e-mailed to
pubcomment-ees.enrd@usdoj.gov or mailed to P.O. Box 7611, U.S.
Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20044-7611, and should refer to
the Consent Decree between the United States and Cummins, DOJ Ref. No.
90-5-2-1-09351.
During the public comment period, the Decree may be examined on the
following Department of Justice Web site, http://www.usdoj.gov/enrd/
Consent_Decrees.html. A copy of the Decree may also be obtained by
mail from the Consent Decree Library, P.O. Box 7611, U.S. Department of
Justice, Washington, DC 20044-7611 or by faxing or e-mailing a request
to Tonia Fleetwood (tonia.fleetwood@usdoj.gov), fax no. (202) 514-0097,
phone confirmation number (202) 514-1547. In requesting a copy from the

if by e-mail or fax, forward a check in that amount to the Consent
