Notice of Lodging of Consent Decrees 

Under The Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, 

Compensation, and Liability Act 

(CERCLA) 

Notice is hereby given that on 

December 18, 2009, two proposed 

Consent Decrees in the case of U.S. v. 

Mascot Mines, Inc., et al., Civil Action 

No. 08–383–EJL, with Defendants 

Mascot Mines, Inc. and Nabob SilverLead Company and with Defendant 

United Resource Holdings Group, Inc., 

were lodged with the United States 

District Court for the District of Idaho. 

The United States filed a complaint in 

September 2008 alleging that the 

defendants are liable pursuant to 

Section 107(a) of CERCLA for response 

costs incurred and to be incurred by the 

United States in connection with 

Operable Unit Three of the Bunker Hill 

Mining and Metallurgical Complex 

Superfund Site in northern Idaho. The 

proposed Consent Decrees grant each 

settling defendant a covenant not to sue 

for response costs, as well as natural 

resource damages, in connection with 

the Site. The Coeur d’Alene Tribe is a 

co-trustee of injured natural resources at 

the Site and a party to the proposed 

Consent Decrees. The settlements are 

based on an analysis of each settling 

defendant’s limited ability to pay and 

require payments totaling $90,000. The 

settlements also require assignment of 

interest in insurance policies to a trust, 

for the benefit of EPA and the natural 

resource trustees, and payment of two 

percent of net smelter returns generated 

from any future mining activities.

opportunity to comment will be 

provided when this ICR is resubmitted 

to OMB under standard PRA clearance 

procedures and pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.10. 

The OMB is particularly interested in 

comments which: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarify of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses. 

Agency: Employee Benefits Security 

Administration.

households; Business or other for-profit; 

Not-for-profit institutions. 

Total Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 7,056,000.

Description: On February 4, 2009, 

President Obama signed the Children’s 

Health Insurance Program 

Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA, 

Pub. L. 111–3). Under ERISA section 

701(f)(3)(B)(i)(I), PHS Act section 

2701(f)(3)(B)(i)(I), and section 

9801(f)(3)(B)(i)(I) of the Internal 

Revenue Code, as added by CHIPRA, an 

employer that maintains a group health 

plan in a State that provides medical 

assistance under a State Medicaid plan 

under title XIX of the Social Security 

Act (SSA), or child health assistance 

under a State child health plan under 

title XXI of the SSA, in the form of 

premium assistance for the purchase of 

coverage under a group health plan, is 

required to make certain disclosures. 

Specifically, the employer is required to 

notify each employee of potential 

opportunities currently available in the 

State in which the employee resides for 

premium assistance under Medicaid 

and CHIP for health coverage of the 

employee or the employee’s 

dependents. 

ERISA section 701(f)(3)(B)(i)(II) 

requires the Department of Labor to 

provide employers with model language 

for the Employer CHIP Notices to enable 

them to timely comply with this 

requirement. The Model Employer CHIP 

Notice is required to include 

information on how an employee may 

contact the State in which the employee 

resides for additional information 

regarding potential opportunities for 

premium assistance, including how to 

apply for such assistance. 

Section 311(b)(1)(D) of CHIPRA 

provides that the Departments of Labor 

and Health and Human Services shall 

develop the initial Model Employer 

CHIP Notice under ERISA section 

701(f)(3)(B)(i)(II), and the Department of 

Labor shall provide such notices to 

employers, by February 4, 2010. 

Moreover, each employer is required to 

provide the initial annual notices to 

such employer’s employees beginning 

with the first plan year that begins after 

the date on which the initial model 

notices are first issued. The ICR relates 

to the Model Employer Chip Notice. 

Why are we requesting Emergency 

Processing? If the Department were 

required to comply with standard PRA 

clearance procedures, it would not be 

able to publish the model notices on a 

timely basis. 

Dated: January 5, 2010.

Departmental Clearance Officer.
