Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Under the Clean Air Act

    Notice is hereby given that on July 19, 2010, a proposed Consent 
Decree (the ``Decree'') in United States v. Vanguard Car Rental USA, 
LLC, et al., Civil Action No. 1:10-cv-11199, was lodged with the United 
States District Court for the District of Massachusetts.
    In a complaint, filed simultaneously with the Decree, the United 
States alleges that Vanguard Car Rental USA, LLC, Enterprises Rent-a-
Car of Boston, LLC, and Camrac, LLC (collectively ``Vanguard'') 
violated the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq., at its rental car 
facilities at Bradley Field International Airport in Connecticut and at 
the Logan

International Airport in Massachusetts. At those facilities, the United 
States alleges that Vanguard allowed its diesel shuttle buses to idle 
in excess of five minutes, as prescribed by 310 CMR 7.11(b), a 
regulation included in the Massachusetts State Implementation Plan, or 
to idle in excess of three minutes, as prescribed by RCSA Sec.  19-508-
18(a)(5), a regulation included in the Connecticut State Implementation 
Plan.
    Pursuant to the Decree, Vanguard will implement a number of 
compliance measures, including: requiring a supervisor to walk through 
the facilities twice a day to identify and rectify illegal idling; the 
implementation of a driver training program that highlights Vanguard's 
anti-idling policy; the posting of ``No Idling'' signs at the 
facilities; and the certification by Vanguard that all its shuttle 
buses equipped with automatic engine shut-offs are working and set so 
that the vehicle engine will not idle longer than permitted under the 
applicable Massachusetts or Connecticut idling standard. Vanguard will 
also pay a $475,000 civil monetary penalty to the United States 
pursuant to the Decree.
    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
