Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980

    Notice is hereby given that on January 31, 2007, a proposed Consent 
Decree in United States of America v. Estate of David W. St. Germain, 
Jr. and Zeneca Inc., Civil Action No. 07-10181 was lodged with the 
United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts.
    In this action the United States sought recovery of response costs 
incurred in connection with the cleanup of hazardous substances 
released at the St. Germain Drum Site, the Oak Street Drum Site, and 
the Route 44 Disposal Area Site (collectively, the ``Sites''), located 
in Taunton, Bristol County, Massachusetts, pursuant to Section 107 of 
the Comprehensive Environmental, Response, Compensation, and Liability 
Act, 42 U.S.C. 9607 (``CERCLA''). The Consent Decree provides that the 
Estate of David W. St. Germain, Jr. shall pay EPA all net proceeds from 
the sale of the St. Germain Site, up to the amount of EPA's 
Unreimbursed Response Costs, as defined in the Consent Decree. It is 
currently estimated that the net proceeds from the sale of the St. 
Germain Site will be approximately $400,000. The Consent Decree also 
provides that Zeneca will pay EPA a total of $2,562,260.49, plus
