The Department of Justice has lodged a proposed Consent Decree in the lawsuit United States v. Midwest Can Company for violations under the Clean Air Act. The company will have to conduct additional testing on its portable fuel containers and pay a $1.7 million penalty. A public comment period is now open where people can submit feedback on the decree until 30 days after this notice's publication date. The Consent Decree is accessible online and in print for a fee.
Simple Explanation
The Justice Department is making a company test their fuel cans better and pay a big fine because they broke some clean air rules. People can tell the government what they think about it online or by mail, but it might be tricky for some to do it easily.
