ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given of 

contractual actions that have been 

proposed to the Bureau of Reclamation 

(Reclamation) and are new, 

discontinued, or completed since the 

last publication of this notice. This 

notice is one of a variety of means used 

to inform the public about proposed 

contractual actions for capital recovery 

and management of project resources 

and facilities consistent with section 9(f) 

of the Reclamation Project Act of 1939. 

Additional announcements of 

individual contract actions may be 

published in the Federal Register and in 

newspapers of general circulation in the 

areas determined by Reclamation to be 

affected by the proposed action. 

ADDRESSES: The identity of the 

approving officer and other information 

pertaining to a specific contract 

proposal may be obtained by calling or 

writing the appropriate regional office at 

the address and telephone number given

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Consistent 

with section 9(f) of the Reclamation 

Project Act of 1939, and the rules and 

regulations published in 52 FR 11954, 

April 13, 1987 (43 CFR 426.22), 

Reclamation will publish notice of 

proposed or amendatory contract 

actions for any contract for the delivery 

of project water for authorized uses in 

newspapers of general circulation in the 

affected area at least 60 days prior to 

contract execution. Announcements 

may be in the form of news releases, 

legal notices, official letters, 

memorandums, or other forms of 

written material. Meetings, workshops, 

and/or hearings may also be used, as 

appropriate, to provide local publicity. 

The public participation procedures do 

not apply to proposed contracts for the 

sale of surplus or interim irrigation 

water for a term of 1 year or less. Either 

of the contracting parties may invite the 

public to observe contract proceedings. 

All public participation procedures will 

be coordinated with those involved in 

complying with the National 

Environmental Policy Act. Pursuant to 

the ‘‘Final Revised Public Participation 

Procedures’’ for water resource-related 

contract negotiations, published in 47 

FR 7763, February 22, 1982, a tabulation 

is provided of all proposed contractual 

actions in each of the five Reclamation 

regions. When contract negotiations are 

completed, and prior to execution, each 

proposed contract form must be 

approved by the Secretary of the 

Interior, or pursuant to delegated or 

redelegated authority, the Commissioner 

of Reclamation or one of the regional 

directors. In some instances, 

congressional review and approval of a 

report, water rate, or other terms and 

conditions of the contract may be 

involved. 

Public participation in and receipt of 

comments on contract proposals will be 

facilitated by adherence to the following 

procedures: 

1. Only persons authorized to act on 

behalf of the contracting entities may 

negotiate the terms and conditions of a 

specific contract proposal. 

2. Advance notice of meetings or 

hearings will be furnished to those 

parties that have made a timely written 

request for such notice to the 

appropriate regional or project office of 

Reclamation. 

3. Written correspondence regarding 

proposed contracts may be made 

available to the general public pursuant 

to the terms and procedures of the 

Freedom of Information Act, as 

amended. 

4. Written comments on a proposed 

contract or contract action must be 

submitted to the appropriate regional 

officials at the locations and within the 

time limits set forth in the advance 

public notices. 

5. All written comments received and 

testimony presented at any public 

hearings will be reviewed and 

summarized by the appropriate regional 

office for use by the contract approving 

authority. 

6. Copies of specific proposed 

contracts may be obtained from the 

appropriate regional director or his or 

her designated public contact as they 

become available for review and 

comment. 

7. In the event modifications are made 

in the form of a proposed contract, the 

appropriate regional director shall 

determine whether republication of the 

notice and/or extension of the comment 

period is necessary. 

Factors considered in making such a 

determination shall include, but are not 

limited to, (i) the significance of the 

modification, and (ii) the degree of 

public interest which has been 

expressed over the course of the 

negotiations. At a minimum, the 

regional director will furnish revised 

contracts to all parties who requested 

the contract in response to the initial 

public notice.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Proposed 

Consent Decree Under the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act of 1980 

On January 13, 2015, the Department 

of Justice lodged a proposed consent 

decree with the United States District 

Court for the District of New Jersey in 

the lawsuits entitled United States v. 

Pechiney Plastic Packaging, Inc., Civil 

Action No. 09-cv-05692 (PGS–TJB) and 

United States v. Bristol-Myers Squibb 

Co., et al., Civil Action No. 13–cv– 

05798 (PGS–TJB). 

The proposed consent decree is 

between Plaintiff United States of 

America and the following Settling 

Defendants: Pechiney Plastic Packaging, 

Inc. (‘‘PPPI’’), Bristol-Myers Squibb 

Company, Myset Investment Company, 

Citigroup Inc., MRC Holdings, Inc., 

Rexam Beverage Can Company, Albe ́a 

Americas, Inc., and certain real property 

currently owned and operated by Albe ́a 

(referred to here as ‘‘Washington 

Facility’’). Rio Tinto AUM is also a 

signatory to the consent decree and 

bound by certain paragraphs set forth in 

the agreement. 

This consent decree would resolve the 

United States’ claims under CERCLA 

against the Settling Defendants arising 

from the Pohatcong Valley Groundwater 

Contamination Superfund Site located 

in Warren County, New Jersey (‘‘Site’’). 

The Site consists of an area of two 

plumes of groundwater contamination 

(one that is contaminated primarily with 

trichloroethylene (‘‘TCE plume’’) and 

another that is contaminated primarily 

with tetrachloroethylene (‘‘PCE 

plume’’), that join into a combined 

plume) which EPA has divided into 

three Operable Units (‘‘OUs’’). OU1 

addresses groundwater contamination 

in two areas within Washington 

Borough and neighboring townships. 

OU2 addresses groundwater 

contamination down-gradient from 

OU1. OU3 consists of contaminated soil 

source areas in the OU1 area. 

The proposed consent decree 

provides that PPPI will perform the
