DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Clean Air
Act
On July 29, 2024, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Middle
District of North Carolina in the lawsuit entitled United States v.
Rudy's Performance Parts, Inc. and Aaron Rudolf, Civil Action No. 1:22-
cv-00495.
The proposed Consent Decree settles the claims in the Complaint
filed on June 29, 2022, which alleges that Defendants violated section
203(a) of the CAA (42 U.S.C. 7522(a) by manufacturing, selling,
offering to sell, and installing aftermarket automotive products that
bypass, defeat, or render inoperative motor vehicle emission controls
and by failing to provide information requested by EPA. The Consent
Decree settles the action by requiring Defendants to pay a $7 million
penalty and comply with various measures detailed in the Consent Decree
that are designed to present CAA violations from re-occurring.

the Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant
