EPA v. MONTGOMERY CHEMICALS, LLC

Case summary

Pursuant to Sections 22.13(b), 22.18(b)(2), and 22.18.(b)(3) of the Consolidated Rules, the Regional Judicial Officer, on December 20, 2018, signed the Final Order accepting the Consent Agreement (collectively ACAFO@) negotiated in settlement of a violation of Section 8(a) of TSCA and the regulations promulgated thereunder set forth at 40 C.F.R. Part 711 (?Chemical Data Reporting Requirements? or ?CDR?) by Montgomery Chemicals, LLC. (?Respondent?). Section 8(a) of TSCA information is used by EPA to evaluate the potential risks associated with the manufacture and use of a chemical. Therefore, failure to report the manufacture of chemicals may have far-reaching implications on the EPA?s risk assessments, regulatory priority setting, and regulation development processes. In this case, Respondent failed to report the manufacture of four reportable chemical substances during the 2011 calendar year in accordance with the terms of 40 C.F.R. Part 711 and in violation of Section 15(3) of TSCA. Under the terms of the CAFO, Respondent will pay a civil penalty in the amount of $5,000. This Consent Agreement and Final Order initiates and concludes this matter. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania did not object to this settlement agreement.
