Plain-English summary

Pleasant Valley Teardrop Trailers, LLC imported 132 car refrigerators containing HFC-134a, a regulated substance with a global warming potential of 1,430. EPA alleged that the products were imported into the household refrigerator and freezer subsector after the applicable technology-transition limit took effect, violating 40 C.F.R. § 84.54(a)(3). Pleasant Valley agreed to the settlement without adjudication of the alleged violation, accepted a $5,742 civil penalty, and certified corrective action involving export of the products. The EAB ratified the Expedited Settlement Agreement and ordered compliance with its terms.

                    EXPEDITED SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

                                A.     JURISDICTION
  1. This is an expedited administrative penalty assessment proceeding brought for alleged
    violations of the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act of 2020 (“AIM Act”), 42 U.S.C. § 7675, which restricts the import of hydrofluorocarbons (“HFCs”), under Section 113(d) of the Clean Air Act (“CAA”), 42 U.S.C. § 7413(d), which authorizes the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) to bring administrative civil enforcement actions.

  2. This expedited settlement agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into under Section 113(d) of
    the CAA, 42 U.S.C. § 7413(d), and the Consolidated Rules of Practice Governing the Administrative Assessment of Penalties and the Revocation/Termination or Suspension of Permits, 40 C.F.R. Part 22.

  3. Complainant is the United States Environmental Protection Agency. On the EPA’s behalf,
    Acting Director Sparsh S. Khandeshi, Air Enforcement Division, is delegated the authority to settle civil administrative penalty proceedings under Section 113(d) of the CAA.

  4. Respondent is Pleasant Valley Teardrop Trailers, LLC (“Pleasant Valley”) and is a “person”
    as defined below and identified further in Table 1 of the Expedited Settlement Agreement (“ESA”) Attachment 1.

  5. Complainant and Respondent (together, the “Parties”), having agreed that settlement of this
    action is in their mutual interest, consent to the issuance of the attached final order (“Final Order” or “Order”) ratifying this expedited settlement agreement before taking testimony and without adjudication of any issues of law or fact herein, and Respondent agrees to comply with the terms of this Agreement and Final Order. Furthermore, Complainant has determined, and Respondent does not dispute, that settlement of this action is in the public interest. 6. The Environmental Appeals Board is authorized to ratify this Agreement, which memorializes a settlement between Complainant and Respondent. 40 C.F.R. §§ 22.4(a)(1) and 22.18(b).

  6. The ratification of the Final Order, incorporating this Agreement, simultaneously commences
    and concludes this proceeding. 40 C.F.R. § 22.13(b).

                              B.      GOVERNING LAW
    
  7. This proceeding arises under the AIM Act, 42 U.S.C. § 7675, and Section 113 of the CAA,
    42 U.S.C. § 7413, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, which impose limits on HFC production and consumption.

  8. The EPA is authorized to enforce the AIM Act and any regulation promulgated thereunder
    utilizing the federal enforcement authorities established by Section 113 of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. § 7675(k)(1)(C). Section 113 of the CAA authorizes the Administrator of the EPA to assess a civil administrative penalty of not more than $25,000 per day of violation. 42 U.S.C. § 7413(a)(3)(A), (d). Pursuant to the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990, Pub. L. 101-410, as amended, and the Civil Monetary Penalty Inflation Adjustment Rule, the statutory maximum civil administrative penalty has subsequently been raised to $59,114 per day of violation. 40 C.F.R. § 19.4, Table 1.

  9. The EPA regulations at 40 C.F.R. Part 84, Subpart B, implement the AIM Act requirement
    under 42 U.S.C. § 7675(i) to accelerate the transition of technologies in products and systems
    that utilize HFCs to substances with lower global warming potentials (“GWP”). These
    regulations are commonly referred to as the “Technology Transitions Regulations.”

  10. The Technology Transitions Regulations prohibit the manufacture or import of products in
    certain sectors or subsectors using regulated substances unless they meet certain GWP limits.
    40 C.F.R.§ 84.54(a). One such subsector covered under the regulations is household
    refrigerators and freezers. Id. at 84.54(a)(3).

  11. Effective January 1, 2025, no person may manufacture or import products in the household
    refrigerator and freezer subsector using a regulated substance, or a blend containing a
    regulated substance, with a GWP of 150 or greater. 40 C.F.R.§ 84.54(a)(3).

  12. Every product imported using a regulated substance in contravention of 40 C.F.R. § 84.54(a)
    constitutes a separate violation. 40 C.F.R. § 84.54(g).

  13. The definitions, listed at 40 C.F.R. Part 84, Subparts A and B, include:

regardless of whether that landing, bringing, or introduction constitutes an importation
within the meaning of the customs laws of the United States. Offloading used regulated
substances recovered from equipment aboard a marine vessel, aircraft, or other aerospace
vehicle during servicing is not considered an import.” 40 C.F.R. § 84.52 (referring back
to the definition in 40 C.F.R. § 84.3).

d. “Importer” is defined as “any person who imports any product or specified component
using or intended for use with a regulated substance into the United States. Importer
includes the person primarily liable for the payment of any duties on the merchandise or
an authorized agent acting on his or her behalf. The term also includes: (1) The
consignee; (2) The importer of record; (3) The actual owner; or (4) The transferee, if the
right to withdraw merchandise from a bonded warehouse has been transferred.” 40 C.F.R.
§ 84.52.

e. “Product” is defined as “an item or category of items manufactured from raw or recycled
materials which performs a function or task and is functional upon completion of
manufacturing. The term includes, but is not limited to: appliances, foams, fully
formulated polyols, self-contained fire suppression devices, aerosols, pressurized
dispensers, and wipes.” 40 C.F.R. § 84.52.

f. “Sector” is defined as “a broad category of applications including but not limited to:
refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pumps; foams; aerosols; chemical manufacturing;
cleaning solvents; fire suppression and explosion protection; and semiconductor

    be found in Appendix A to 40 C.F.R. Part 84. See 40 C.F.R. § 84.3.
  2. The GWP of a regulated substance is the exchange value for the regulated substance listed in
    subsection (c) of the AIM Act and in Appendix A 40 C.F.R. Part 84. 40 C.F.R. § 84.64(a).
  3. The exchange value of a blend is calculated by summing the exchange value of each
    constituent of the blend multiplied by the nominal mass fraction of the constituent within that
    blend. 40 C.F.R. § 84.64(b).
                                             3

  7. Interest, Charges, and Penalties on Late Payments. Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 7413(d)(5),
    31 U.S.C. § 3717, 31 C.F.R. § 901.9, and 40 C.F.R. § 13.11, if Respondent fails to timely
    pay any portion of the Assessed Penalty per this Agreement, the entire unpaid balance of the
    Assessed Penalty and all accrued interest shall become immediately due and owing, and the
    EPA is authorized to recover the following amounts.

       a. Interest. Interest begins to accrue from the Filing Date. If the Assessed Penalty is
          paid in full within thirty (30) days, interest accrued is waived. If the Assessed
          Penalty is not paid in full within thirty (30) days, interest will continue to accrue
          until any unpaid portion of the Assessed Penalty as well as any interest, penalties,
          and other charges are paid in full. Per 42 U.S.C. § 7524(c)(6), interest will be
          assessed pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 6621(a)(2), that is the IRS standard
          underpayment rate, equal to the Federal short-term rate plus 3 percentage points.
    
       b. Handling Charges. The United States’ enforcement expenses including, but not
          limited to, attorneys’ fees and costs of handling collection.
    
       c. Late Payment Penalty. A ten percent (10%) quarterly non-payment penalty.
    
  8. Late Penalty Actions. In addition to the amounts described in the prior Paragraph, if
    Respondent fails to timely pay any portion of the Assessed Penalty per this Agreement, the
    EPA may take additional actions. Such actions the EPA may take include, but are not limited
    to, the following.

       a. Refer the debt to a credit reporting agency or a collection agency, pursuant to
          40 C.F.R. §§ 13.13 and 13.14.
    
                                             6
    

    b. Collect the debt by administrative offset (i.e., the withholding of money payable
    by the United States government to, or held by the United States government for,
    a person to satisfy the debt the person owes the United States government), which
    includes, but is not limited to, referral to the Internal Revenue Service for offset
    against income tax refunds, pursuant to 40 C.F.R. Part 13, Subparts C and H.

       c. Suspend or revoke Respondent’s licenses or other privileges, or suspend or
          disqualify Respondent from doing business with the EPA or engaging in
          programs the EPA sponsors or funds, pursuant to 40 C.F.R. § 13.17.
    
       d. Request that the Attorney General bring a civil action in the appropriate district
          court to enforce the Final Order and recover the full remaining balance of the
          Assessed Penalty, in addition to interest and the amounts described above,
          pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 7413(d)(5). In any such action, the validity, amount, and
          appropriateness of the Assessed Penalty and Final Order shall not be subject to
          review.
    
  9. Allocation of Payments. Pursuant to 31 C.F.R. § 901.9(f) and 40 C.F.R. § 13.11(d), a partial
    payment of debt will be applied first to outstanding handling charges, second to late penalty
    charges, third to accrued interest, and last to the principal that is the outstanding Assessed
    Penalty amount.

  10. Tax Treatment of Penalties. Pursuant to , penalties, interest, and other
    charges paid pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deductible for purposes of federal taxes.

  11. By signing this Agreement, Respondent certifies that the information it has supplied
    concerning this matter was at the time of submission true, accurate, and complete for each
    such submission, response, and statement. Respondent acknowledges that there are
    significant penalties for submitting false or misleading information, including the possibility
    of fines and imprisonment for knowing submission of such information, under 18 U.S.C.

                                             7
    

    filed and uploaded to a searchable database. Complainant agrees to acceptance of the
    Respondent’s digital or an original signature on this Agreement.

  15. Each party shall bear its own attorney’s fees, costs, and disbursements incurred in this
    proceeding.

             F. EFFECT OF AGREEMENT AND ATTACHED FINAL ORDER
    
  16. In accordance with 40 C.F.R. § 22.18(c), completion of the terms of this Agreement and
    Final Order resolves only Respondent's liability for federal civil penalties for the violations

  17. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties and
    supersedes any prior agreements or understandings among the Parties with respect to the
    subject matter hereof.

  18. The terms, conditions, and compliance requirements of this Agreement may not be modified
    or amended after it is ratified except upon the written agreement of both parties, and approval
    of the Environmental Appeals Board.

  19. Any violation of this Agreement or Order may result in a civil judicial action for an
    injunction, or civil penalties of up to $124,426 per day per violation (with each kilogram a
    separate violation), or both, as provided in Section 113(b)(2) of the Act, 42 U.S.C.
    § 7413(b)(2), as well as criminal sanctions as provided in Section 113(c) of the Act, 42

    provisions of the Act and other federal, state, or local laws or statutes, nor shall it restrict the
    EPA’s authority to seek compliance with any applicable laws or regulations, nor shall it be
    construed to be a ruling on, or determination of, any issue related to any federal, state, or
    local permit.

  21. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit the power of the EPA to undertake any action
    against Respondent or any person in response to conditions that may present an imminent
    and substantial endangerment to the public health, welfare, or the environment.

  22. The EPA reserves the right to revoke this Agreement and settlement penalty if and to the
    extent that the EPA finds, after signing this Agreement, that any information provided by
