Chevy Chase Cars, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 05–1222, was lodged with the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. This Supplemental Consent Decree relates to two other matters before the same Court: United States v. Allegheny Ludlum Corp., et al., C.A. No. 97–1863 and United States v. Aetna, Inc., et al. C.A. No. 05–15. All three matters are Superfund cost recovery actions commenced by the United States against potentially responsible parties relating to the Breslube Penn Superfund Site in Coraopolis, Moon Township, Pennsylvania. In the Chevy Chase Car, Inc., et al. action, the United States seeks the recovery of response costs incurred in connection with the Breslube Penn Superfund Site. The complaint alleges that each of the named defendants arranged for the treatment and/or disposal of wastes containing hazardous substances at the Site, within the meaning of 42 U.S.C. 9607(a)(3). The complaint names 22 defendants, each of which have signed the proposed Supplemental Consent Decree to the E:\FR\FM\15SEN1.SGM 15SEN1 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 178 / Thursday, September 15, 2005 / Notices First Round De Minimis Consent Decree. Under the Supplemental Consent Decree, each of the named defendants would pay a proportionate share of all past and future response costs incurred and to be incurred at the Site, plus a premium. In return for these payments, each defendant would receive a covenant not to sue by the United States, subject to certain reservations of rights, and contribution protection from suit by other potentially responsible parties. However, because two of the settlors/named defendants chose a lower settlement premium with a ‘‘reopener,’’ their liability can be reopened in the event that Site future response costs exceed $26 million. The other twenty settlors/named defendants selected a higher settlement premium, with no ‘‘reopener’’ provision. The total recovery under this Consent Decree should be approximately $270,000. The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of this publication comments relating to this Supplemental Consent Decree.

Notice of Lodging of Supplemental Consent Decree to First Round 
De Minimis Consent Decree Under the Comprehensive Environmental 
Response, Compensation and Liability Act

    Notice is hereby given that on August 31, 2005, a proposed 
Supplemental Consent Decree to the First Round De Minimis Consent 
Decree in United States v. Chevy Chase Cars, Inc., et al., Civil Action 
No. 05-1222, was lodged with the United States District Court for the 
Western District of Pennsylvania. This Supplemental Consent Decree 
relates to two other matters before the same Court: United States v. 
Allegheny Ludlum Corp., et al., C.A. No. 97-1863 and United States v. 
Aetna, Inc., et al. C.A. No. 05-15. All three matters are Superfund 
cost recovery actions commenced by the United States against 
potentially responsible parties relating to the Breslube Penn Superfund 
Site in Coraopolis, Moon Township, Pennsylvania.
    In the Chevy Chase Car, Inc., et al. action, the United States 
seeks the recovery of response costs incurred in connection with the 
Breslube Penn Superfund Site. The complaint alleges that each of the 
named defendants arranged for the treatment and/or disposal of wastes 
containing hazardous substances at the Site, within the meaning of 42 
U.S.C. 9607(a)(3). The complaint names 22 defendants, each of which 
have signed the proposed Supplemental Consent Decree to the

[[Page 54571]]

First Round De Minimis Consent Decree. Under the Supplemental Consent 
Decree, each of the named defendants would pay a proportionate share of 
all past and future response costs incurred and to be incurred at the 
Site, plus a premium. In return for these payments, each defendant 
would receive a covenant not to sue by the United States, subject to 
certain reservations of rights, and contribution protection from suit 
by other potentially responsible parties. However, because two of the 
settlors/named defendants chose a lower settlement premium with a 
``reopener,'' their liability can be reopened in the event that Site 
future response costs exceed $26 million. The other twenty settlors/
named defendants selected a higher settlement premium, with no 
``reopener'' provision. The total recovery under this Consent Decree 
should be approximately $270,000.

days from the date of this publication comments relating to this
