DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Corrected Notice of Lodging of

Consent Decree Pursuant to the Clean

Water Act (‘‘CWA’’) and the

Comprehensive Environmental

Response, Compensation and Liability

Act (‘‘CERCLA’’)

On April 7, 2000, a Notice of Lodging

was published in the Federal Register

stating that a Consent Decree had been

lodged in United States v. Gulf States

Steel, Inc., in the United States District

Court for the Northern District of

Alabama on March 28, 2000 (CV–97–

BU–2755–M). See 65 FR 18351 (April 7,

2000).

This Notice of Lodging contained a

typographical error. Specifically, the

original Notice of Lodging stated that

Gulf States Steel had agreed to

undertake certain Supplemental

Environmental Projects (SEPs) in the

amount of at least $206 million as part

of its Consent Decree resolving its Clean

Water Act liability. The actual SEP

amount contained in the Consent Decree

with the United States is 42.6 million.

Due to the typographical error in the

original publication, the Department of

Justice will extend the comment period

for an additional ten (10) days. Thus,

the Department of Justice will receive,

for a period of forty (40) days from the

date of the original Federal Register

publication, comments relating to the

proposed Consent Decree. Comments

should be addressed to the Assistant

Attorney General for the Environment

and Natural Resources Division, U.S.
