63942 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 207 / Monday, October 27, 2014 / Notices 

The plaintiffs seek compensation for 

damage to natural resources in and 

about the former Molycorp Mining Site. 

The Site includes a molybdenum mine 

and mill, tailings ponds, and a slurry 

pipeline—all located near Questa, New 

Mexico. The plaintiffs allege that 

defendant is liable for injury to natural 

resources resulting from releases of 

hazardous substances at that Site. Under 

the Consent Decree that embodies the 

settlement proposed here, defendant 

will transfer certain property that will 

mitigate some of injury suffered and 

will pay the federal and state natural 

resource trustees about $4 million to be 

used to restore, replace, or acquire 

resources—all in compliance with the 

terms of the Consent Decree and other 

applicable law. Defendant also will pay 

specified past assessment costs incurred 

by the trustees. In return, defendant will 

receive from plaintiffs specified 

covenants not to sue for natural resource 

damages resulting from releases from 

the Site, subject to reservations 

specified in the proposed Decree. 

By a prior notice published in the 

Federal Register, the Department 

invited public comment on this 

proposed Decree. Among the comments 

received were a number that requested 

a longer time for public comment. 

Accordingly, after considering the 

circumstances, by publication of this

On October 21, 2014, the Department

District of New York in the bankruptcy 

case of Getty Petroleum Marketing Inc., 

and its affiliates (collectively, ‘‘Getty’’), 

In re Getty Petroleum Marketing Inc., et 

al., Case No. 11–15606 (SCC). The 

Settlement Agreement relates to the 

Newtown Creek Superfund Site, located 

in Queens County and Kings County, 

New York (the ‘‘Newtown Creek Site’’). 

The parties to the proposed 

Settlement Agreement are the United 

States and the Liquidating Trust 

established in the bankruptcy. The 

Settlement Agreement provides for a 

$14,844,800 allowed general unsecured 

claim for the United States on behalf of 

EPA and a $1,155,200 allowed general 

unsecured claim for the United States 

on behalf of the U.S. Department of the 

Interior and the National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration of the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (collectively, 

the ‘‘NRD Trustees’’). 

The Settlement Agreement resolves 

EPA’s claims against debtors Getty 

Petroleum Marketing Inc. (‘‘GPMI’’) and

9601–75 (‘‘CERCLA’’), and the Oil 

Pollution Act, 33 U.S.C. 2702(a) 

(‘‘OPA’’), in connection with the 

Newtown Creek Site. The proposed 

Settlement Agreement also resolves the 

NRD Trustees’ claims against GPMI and 

Getty Terminals under CERCLA and 

OPA for natural resource damages and 

costs of assessment in connection with 

the Newtown Creek Site. As part of the 

Settlement Agreement, GPMI, Getty 

Terminals, and the Liquidating Trust on 

behalf of GPMI and Getty Terminals will 

receive from the United States on behalf 

of EPA and the NRD Trustees a 

covenant not to file a civil action or take 

administrative action pursuant to 

sections 106 and 107 of CERCLA, 42 

U.S.C. 9606, 9607, and section 1002(a)
