Consistent with 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby given that on January 12, 2007, a proposed Agreed Order wtih Foamex L.P., one of the debtors in the Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding In re: Foamex International, Inc, et al., Chap. 11, Bankr. No. 05-12685(KG) (Jointly Administered) (Bankr. D. Del.), has been lodged with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.

                    On March 17, 2006, the United States of America, on behalf of its Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) filed a Proof of Claim in the above referenced bankruptcy proceedings. The Proof of Claim asserted claims under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. 9601*et seq.,*                     related to the Omega Chemical Corporation Superfund Site in California and for civil penalties related to alleged violations observed during a multimedia inspection of one of Foamex's facilities, located in Corry, Pennsylvania.                

The Agreed Order resolves EPA's penalty claims with respect to Foamex's  Corry facility in exchange for an anticipated payment of $128,560. In addition, Foamex will increase the capacity of the secondary containment for the tank truck unloading area at its Corry facility so that it is sufficient to contain 2,000 gallons. The proposed Agreed Order also provides that EPA's CERCLA claim for the Omega Site will “pass-through” the bankruptcy unaffected, to be dealt with in the reorganized Debtor's ordinary course of business.

                    The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of this publication comments relating to the Agreed Order. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and either e-mailed to                     *pubcomment-ees.enrd@usdoj.gov*                     or mailed to P.O.

No. 90-11-3-08759/1).                

                    The Agreed Order may be examined at U.S. EPA Region 3, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103-2029 (contact Daniel Isales, Esq. (404) 562-9670).
