## Summary

On January 5, 2021, EPA entered into an Expedited Settlement Agreement (ESA) with WR Allen, Inc. of Orland, Maine, resolving a violation of Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act. This ESA is part of a nationally approved compliance and enforcement pilot under the CAA 112(r) General Duty Clause, which is designed to ensure that small ammonia refrigeration facilities (< 10,000 pounds) have completed process hazard reviews of their systems. The ESA requires payment of a $5,000 penalty and certification that the company hired an expert to complete a Process Hazard Review, coordinated with local emergency responders, filed any missing Tier II forms, and provided EPA with a short statement about plans it has to improve safety at the facility as a result of conducting the Process Hazard Review.
