                    Notice is hereby given that on October 2, 2007, a proposed Consent Decree in                     *United States and State of Oklahoma*                     v.                     *3M Company,*                     Case No. 5:07-cv-1079, was lodged with the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma.                 

                    The proposed Consent Decree resolves claims alleged by the United States, on behalf of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA''), and the United States Department of the Interior (``DOI''), against the 3M Company, under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9601*et seq.*                     The claims were alleged in a Complaint filed with the Court on September 25, 2007 which sought to recover response costs incurred and to be incurred and natural resource damages at the Double Eagle Superfund Site in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The Consent Decree also resolves similar claims alleged in the Complaint by the State of Oklahoma. The proposed Consent Decree provides that the 3M Company, which sent approximately 3000 gallons of hazardous substances to the Site for disposal, will pay the United States and the State of Oklahoma $50,000 in                           ( print page 58123)                        response costs and natural resource damages. The Consent Decree represents a settlement with the 3M Company as a                     *de minimis*                     party pursuant to section 122 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9622.
