    Notice is hereby given that on June 29, 2009, a proposed Consent 
Decree in United States of America v. Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc., et al., 
Civil Action No. 09-CV-2902, was lodged with the United States District 
Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
    In this action the United States sought to recover from the 
defendants response costs incurred by the United States Environmental 
Protection Agency (``EPA'') in responding to releases or threatened 
releases of hazardous substances at or from the Heleva Landfill Site, 
located in North Whitehall Township, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania (the 
``Site''). The Consent Decree memorializes the settlement that requires 
the settling parties, Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc. as successor in interest 
to AT&T Inc., Olin Corporation, and Pfizer Inc., to reimburse EPA's 
past and future response costs related to the Site.
    The Consent Decree requires the settling parties to pay to the EPA 
Hazardous Substance Superfund the principal sum of $603,047.49 plus 
interest, in two installments. The first payment of $433,553.75 is due 
within forty-five (45) days of entry of the Consent Decree. The second 
payment of $169,493.74, plus interest, is due within two hundred and 
seventy (270) days of entry of the Consent Decree. The Consent Decree 
also requires that the settling parties pay future response costs 
incurred by EPA.
