Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act
On March 12, 2021, the Department of
Justice and the State of California on
behalf of the California Department of
Toxic Substances Control (‘‘DTSC’’)
lodged a proposed Consent Decree with
the United States District Court for the
Central District of California pertaining
to environmental contamination at the
Historic Stormwater Pathway South
Operable Unit (‘‘Southern Pathway
OU,’’ also known as ‘‘OU6’’) of the
Montrose Chemical Corp. Superfund
Site in Los Angeles County, California.
This proposed Consent Decree was
lodged in the case United States of
America and State of California vs.
Montrose Chemical Corp. of California
et al., Civil Action No. 2:90–cv–03122
DOC (C.D. Cal.); it resolves certain of the
claims in that case.
The proposed Consent Decree, titled
in full ‘‘Partial Consent Decree
(Montrose Superfund Site—Historic
Stormwater Pathway South Operable
Unit)’’, resolves certain claims or
potential claims under Sections 106 and
107 of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act, 42
U.S.C. 9606, 9607, as well as certain
potential state law claims, in connection
with environmental contamination at
the Southern Pathway OU. The
proposed Consent Decree does not
resolve the settling defendants’ overall
liability for environmental
contamination at the Southern Pathway
OU, but resolves their liability for the
OU6 Remedial Investigation and
Feasibility Study and certain past and
future response costs described below.
The settling defendants are TFCF
America, Inc.; Bayer CropScience Inc.;
Montrose Chemical Corporation of
California; and Stauffer Management
Company LLC. The Consent Decree
requires the settling defendants to
perform the Remedial Investigation and
Feasibility Study of contamination at
the Southern Pathway OU, and to make
a payment of $3,750,000.00 toward the
United States’ unreimbursed Southern

Pathway OU past costs and certain
sitewide ‘‘OU–00’’ costs, and a payment
of $250,000.00 towards DTSC’s
Southern Pathway OU past costs. The
proposed Consent Decree also requires
the settling defendants to pay the
United States’ and DTSC’s future
response costs for overseeing the work
the settling defendants will be
performing pursuant to the Consent
Decree.
The publication of this notice opens
a period for public comment on the
Consent Decree. Comments should be
addressed to the Assistant Attorney
General, Environment and Natural
Resources Division, and should refer to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DavisBacon and related Acts (DBRA) require
the application of Davis-Bacon labor
standards to federal and federally
assisted construction. The Copeland Act
(40 U.S.C. 3145) requires the Secretary
of Labor to prescribe reasonable
regulations for contractors and
subcontractors engaged in construction
work subject to Davis-Bacon labor
standards. While the federal contracting
or assistance-administering agencies

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 51 / Thursday, March 18, 2021 / Notices
have a primary responsibility for
enforcement of Davis-Bacon labor
standards, Reorganization Plan Number
14 of 1950 assigns to the Secretary of
Labor responsibility for developing
government-wide policies,
interpretations and procedures to be
observed by the contracting and
assisting agencies, in order to assure
coordination of administration and
consistency of DBRA enforcement. The
Copeland Act provision cited above
specifically requires the regulations to
‘‘include a provision that each
contractor and subcontractor each week
must furnish a statement on the wages
paid each employee during the prior
week.’’ This requirement is
implemented by 29 CFR 3.3 and 3.4 and
the standard Davis-Bacon contract
clauses set forth at 29 CFR 5.5.
Regulations 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(ii)(A)
requires contractors to submit weekly a
copy of all payrolls to the federal agency
contracting for or financing the
construction project. If the agency is not
a party to the contract, the contractor
will submit the payrolls to the
applicant, sponsor, or owner, as the case
may be, for transmission to the
contracting agency. This same section
requires that the payrolls submitted
shall set out accurately and completely
the information required to be
maintained under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i),
except that full social security numbers
and home addresses shall not be
included on weekly transmittals, and
instead, the payrolls shall only need to
include an individually identifying
number for each employee (e.g., the last
four digits of the employee’s social
security number). The required weekly
payroll information may be submitted in
any form desired. Optional Form WH–
347 is available for this purpose from
the Wage and Hour Division website at
https://www.dol.gov/sites/dolgov/files/
WHD/legacy/files/wh347.pdf. The
regulations at 29 CFR 3.3(b) require each
contractor to furnish weekly a signed
‘‘Statement of Compliance’’
accompanying the payroll indicating the
payrolls are correct and complete and
that each laborer or mechanic has been
paid not less than the proper DavisBacon Act prevailing wage rate for the
work performed. The weekly
submission of a properly executed
certification, with the prescribed
language set forth on page 2 of Optional
Form WH–347, satisfies the requirement
for submission of the required
‘‘Statement of Compliance’’. Id. at
§§ 3.3(b), 3.4(b), and 5.5(a)(3)(ii)(B).
Regulations 29 CFR 3.4(b) and
5.5(a)(3)(i) require contractors to

maintain these records for three years
after completion of the work.
For additional substantive
information about this ICR, see the
related notice published in the Federal
Register on August 25, 2020 (85 FR
52365).
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless the OMB
approves it and displays a currently
valid OMB Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid OMB Control Number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
DOL seeks PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3)
years. OMB authorization for an ICR
cannot be for more than three (3) years
without renewal. The DOL notes that
information collection requirements
submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review.

Abstract: The Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act
(Dodd-Frank Act) (Pub. L. 111–203, 124
Stat. 1376) amended Financial
Institution Reform, Recovery, and
Enforcement Act (FIRREA) § 308 to
require the NCUA, Office of the
Comptroller of Currency, and the
Federal Reserve Board to establish a

establishing a MDI preservation program
to comply with FIRREA § 308 goals. The
IRPS identifies the procedure for a

determine and document its ability to
designate itself as a MDI, resulting in
the ability to participate in the Program.

Estimated Total Annual Responses:
91.
