The Department of Justice has proposed a Consent Decree with Fayat S.A.S. and its subsidiaries after filing a lawsuit alleging violations of the Clean Air Act. These companies are accused of importing and selling nonroad equipment with diesel engines that failed to meet emission standards, alongside other breaches related to labeling and reporting. The terms of the agreement require the defendants to pay a $11 million penalty and undertake measures to mitigate pollution caused by these engines. The public has 30 days from the notice's publication to submit comments on this proposed agreement.
Simple Explanation
The government and a company have agreed that the company will pay $11 million for selling machines that made the air dirty, and the company has to help clean up the mess they made. People can tell the government what they think about this plan for one month after it's announced.
