    Notice is hereby given that on December 3, 2010 a proposed Consent 
Decree in United States v. Combined Development Co. I, LLC, et al., 
Civil Action No. 1:10-cv-853 was lodged with the United States District 
Court for the Southern District of Ohio.
    The consent decree settles claims against the owners and managers 
of 166 housing units in nine separate properties located in or near 
Cincinnati, Ohio. The claims were brought on behalf of the 
Environmental Protection Agency (``U.S. EPA'') and the Department of 
Housing and Urban Development (``HUD'') under the Residential Lead-
Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act, 42 U.S.C. 4851 et seq. (``Lead Hazard 
Reduction Act''). The United States alleged in the complaint that the 
Defendants failed to make one or more of the disclosures or to complete 
one or more of the disclosure activities required by the Lead Hazard 
Reduction Act.
    Under the Consent Decree, the Defendants will certify that they are 
complying with residential lead paint notification requirements. The 
Defendants will submit a plan for window replacement work and will 
replace all windows known to or believed to contain lead-based paint in 
all residential properties owned or managed by Defendants that are not 
certified lead-based paint free. In
