Under 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby

given that on April 18, 2000, a proposed

Consent Decree in United States v. Scott

County Sportsmen’s Association, Case

No. 30–00–CV–10052 (S.D. Iowa) was

lodged with the United States District

settles claims by the United States,

against Scott County Sportsmen’s

Association (SCSA) under Section 107

of the Comprehensive Environmental

Response, Compensation, and Liability

Act (CERCLA), 42 U.S.C. 9607. The

Complaint of the United States seeks

past and future CERCLA response costs

incurred by EPA in connection with the

Nahant Marsh Superfund Site (the Site)

and for damages for injuries to natural

resources at the Site as determined by

the Department of the Interior (Interior),

the Natural Resource Trustee. Defendant

SCSA owned property on the Site and

used it for target and skeet shooting,

resulting in releases of lead, a hazardous

substance.

The Consent Decree requires SCSA to

record a conservation easement for its

78-acre property at the Site in favor of

the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation

(INHF) for preservation of the land as a

reserve for wildlife and to prevent

residential, commercial and industrial

development of the land. The SCSA is

required to transfer ownership of its

property at the Site to the City of

Davenport, Iowa (the City), and notify

EPA of the transfer. All proceeds from

the sale of the Property will be paid to

the United States. The City agrees to pay

the purchase price of $86,000 to EPA

(which will receive $81,000) and to

Interior (which will receive $5,000)

pursuant to a proposed Agreement and

Covenant Not to Sue, or Prospective

Purchaser Agreement, entered into

between the United States and the City.

Under the terms of the Prospective

Purchaser Agreement, the City will also

place a restrictive covenant on the land

that restricts residential development.

In exchange for its commitments

under the Consent Decree, Defendant

SCSA will receive a covenant not to sue

pursuant to Sections 106 and 107(a) of

CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9606 AND 9607(a),

for response actions and response costs

relating to the Site. Defendant SCSA

will also receive a covenant not to sue

for natural resource damages under

CERCLA.

The Department of Justice will receive

for a period of thirty (30) days from the

date of this publication comments

relating to the Consent Decree.

Comments should be addressed to the

BILLING CODE 4410–15–M

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

[AAG/A Order No. 198–2000]

Privacy Act of 1974; System of

Records

The Department of Justice proposes to

modify the Office of the Inspector

General Investigative Records System,

JUSTICE/OIG–001, last published in the

Federal Register on March 10, 1992 (57

FR 8476). The primary purpose of the

system is to enable the Department’s

Office of the Inspector General to

conduct its responsibilities under the

Inspector General Act of 1978, as

amended by the Inspector General Act

Amendments of 1988, 5 U.S.C. App. 3,

including its responsibility to conduct

and supervise investigations relating to

programs and operations of the

Department. The Department now

proposes to modify the system by

adding one new routine use, revising

two existing routine uses, and making

other minor revisions.

New routine use (i) will permit the

Department to share information about

investigations with complainants and

victims in order to inform them about

the progress and results of

investigations arising from the matters

of which they complained or were the

victim.

In addition, two current routine uses

are being revised. First, routine use (a)

relating to disclosures of records

indicating a violation or potential

violation of law or contract to those

entities responsible for investigating,

prosecuting or enforcing those laws or

contracts is being revised to make it

clear that disclosure extends both to

records that indicate such a violation or

potential violation standing alone and to

records that do so only when viewed in

combination with other documents.

Second, routine use (d) relating to

disclosures made to other entities in

connection with the assignment, hiring,

retention, issuance or revocation of a

security clearance, reporting of an

investigation, letting of a contract, or the

issuance or revocation of a license,

grant, or other benefit to an individual

by those entities is being modified in

two respects: (1) To eliminate the

requirement that information may be

released only upon the request of a

specified entity and (2) to permit

information pertinent to the issuance or

retention of a professional license to be

shared with the relevant professional

licensing organization.

Finally, the Department is making

minor revisions to the ‘System

Location,’ ‘Retirevability,’ ‘System

Manager and Address,’ and ‘Retention

and Disposal’ sections to reflect current

conditions. A typographical error in

routine use (h) as it was originally

published in the Federal Register (57

FR 8477), is also being corrected.

5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) and (11) provide

that the public be given thirty days in

which to comment on these proposed

changes. Any comments must be

submitted in writing to Mary Cahill,

Management Analyst, Management and

Planning Staff, Justice Management

Division, Department of Justice,

Washington, DC 20530 by June 21, 2000.
