What did Justice Department publish on April 12?

The US Justice Department published a two page notice on April 12, according to the U.S. Government Publishing Office.

The notice is focused on Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Liability Act In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby given that a proposed consent decree amendment in United States v. Eljer Industries, Inc. and Eljer Manufacturing, Inc., Civil Action No. C87-2693Y, was lodged on March 14, 1996 with the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. The proposed consent decree amendment will resolve claims against Eljer for stipulated penalties accruing under the terms of a 1990 consent decree that settled claims for violations of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq., at Eljer's Salem Ohio plant. Under the proposed Consent Decree amendment, Eljer agrees to pay $175,000 in stipulated penalties, and provisions in the 1990 decree relating to liability coverage for closure work at the Salem plant are modified to provide a ``best efforts'' commitment to obtain liability coverage..

The Department is one of the oldest in the US, focused primarily on law enforcement and the federal prison system. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, detailed wasteful expenses such as $16 muffins at conferences and board meetings.

Notices are required documents detailing rules and regulations being proposed by each federal department. This allows the public to see what issues legislators and federal departments are focusing on.

Any person or organization can comment on the proposed rules. Departments and agencies must then address “significant issues raised in comments and discuss any changes made,” the Federal Register says.
