## Summary

This is a consolidated action pursuant to our Consolidated Rules of Practice (40 C.F.R. �22.18(b)(2) and (3)), which provide that a proceeding may be simultaneously commenced and concluded by the issuance of a Consent Agreement and Final Order when the parties agree to settle one or more causes of action before the filing of an Administrative Complaint.  It is our intent to settle this case in this manner.

As result of an inspection conducted at Nice-Pak Products, Inc. on August 27, 2002 and a review of the Toxic Release Inventory Envirofacts Database (TRI Database) it was determined that the Respondent had voluntarily submitted the following late Form R reports to the EPA:
CHEMICAL	YEAR	DUE DATE	POSTMARK DATE	DAYS LATE
certain glycol ethers	2000	July 1, 2001	September 30, 2002	>1Yr
certain glycol ethers	2001	July 1, 2002	September 30, 2002	91

On March 11, 2003, a letter addressing the above late reporting violations was sent to the company in an effort to gain more insight into the circumstances concerning the above violations in an effort to settle the potential proceeding expeditiously.. 

Each failure to submit Form R report in a timely manner constitutes a violation of Section 313 of EPCRA, 42 U.S.C. �11023, and 40 C.F.R �372.30.  The amount of the penalty was initially calculated using the Enforcement Response Policy (ERP) for Section 313 of EPCRA issued by the USEPA Office of Compliance Monitoring, Office of Pesticides and Toxic Substances, on August 1
