                    Notice is hereby given that on October 1, 2007, a proposed Consent Decree (Decree) in                     *United States et al.*                     v.                     *United States Steel Corp. et al.*, Civil Action No. 07-CV-4114-JAR was lodged with the United States District Court for the District of Kansas.                

In this action the United States and the State of Kansas, in their capacities as natural resource trustees, sought recovery from U.S. Steel Corporation and Citibank Global Holdings for natural resource damages to the National Zinc Superfund Site (Site) in Cherryvale, Kansas and the surrounding area. The Complaint alleges that Defendants are liable as successors to owners or operators of a smelter, which was previously located and operated at the Site. The Decree would settle the government's claim for injuries to natural resources at the Site, in return for a total payment of $495,750, including $452,750 for restoration projects and $43,000 for reimbursement of natural resource damage assessment costs incurred by the Federal and State trustees. As specified by the Decree, the joint recovery for restoration work would be deposited in the United States Department of Interior's Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration Fund, and the Federal and State trustees would make joint decisions concerning future restoration expenditures in accordance with a restoration plan that they would prepare.
