Notice of Lodging of Settlement
Agreement Under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act
Notice is hereby given that on May 18,
2006, a proposed Settlement Agreement
in In re W.R. Grace & Co., et al., Case
Number Case No. 01–01139 (JFK), was
lodged with the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware.
On or around December 17, 2004, the
United States filed a supplemental proof
of claim in the W.R. Grace & Co.
(‘‘Grace’’) bankruptcy proceeding
VerDate Aug<31>2005
19:10 May 31, 2006
Jkt 208001
seeking costs incurred and to be
incurred at the Wauconda Sand and
Gravel Superfund Site in Wauconda,
Illinois pursuant to Section 107(a) of the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability
Act, 42 U.S.C. 9607(a). Grace is one of
several potentially responsible parties at
the Site. Some, but not all, of the other
potentially responsible parties have
formed the Wauconda Task Group
(‘‘WTG’’) to perform cleanup work at the
Site. The proposed Settlement
Agreement would withdraw the United
States’ supplemental proof of claim
related to the Wauconda Site upon
payment of $1.25 million to the WTG,
at least 55% of which shall only be used
to fund a public water system in
Wauconda, Illinois. Grace’s payment to
WTG would be made pursuant to a
separate Stipulation between Grace and
the WTG (to which the United States is
not a party), and must be separately
approved by the Bankruptcy Court.
The Department of Justice will receive
comments relating to the Settlement
Agreement for a period of fifteen (15)
days from the date of this publication.
Comments should be addressed to the
Assistant Attorney General of the
Environment and Natural Resources
Division, Department of Justice,
Washington, DC 20530, and should refer
to In re W.R. Grace & Co. and D.J. Ref.
Number 90–11–2–07106/5.

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
clarity 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 submission of
responses.

Description: Sections 103(c), (I), and
(j) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health
Act of 1977 authorizes the inspection,
recordkeeping and reporting
requirements implemented in 30 CFR
part 57, Subpart T—Safety Standards for
Methane in Metal and Nonmetal mines.
Methane is a flammable gas found in
underground mining. Methane is a
colorless, odorless, tasteless gas, and it
tends to rise to the roof of a mine
because it is lighter than air. Although
methane itself is nontoxic, its presence
reduces oxygen content by dilution
when mixed with air, and consequently
can act as an asphyxiant when present
in large quantities. Methane mixed with
air is explosive in the range of 5 to 15
percent, provided that 12 percent or
more oxygen is present. The presence of
dust containing volatile matter in the
mine atmosphere may further enhance
the explosion potential of methane in a
mine.
Metal and Nonmetal mine operators
are required to notify MSHA as soon as
possible if any of the following events
occur: (a) There is an outburst that
results in 0.25 percent or more methane
in the mine atmosphere; (b) there is a
blowout that results in 0.25 percent or
more methane in the mine atmosphere;
(c) there is an ignition of methane; (d)
air sample results indicate 0.25 percent
or more methane in the mine
atmosphere of a Subcategory I–B, I–C,
II–B, V–B, or Category VI mine. If
methane reaches 2.0 percent in a
Category IV mine; or methane reaches
0.25 percent in the mine atmosphere of
a Subcategory I–B, II–B, V–B, and VI
mines, MSHA shall be notified
immediately so that it can determine if
further action is necessary.
Additionally, MSHA investigates these
occurrences to determine that the mine
is placed in the proper category.

rock bolts and accessories are an
integral part of ground control systems

that metal and nonmetal and coal mine
operators obtain a certification from the
manufacturer that rock bolts and
accessories are manufactured and tested
in accordance with the 1995 American
Society for Testing and Materials
(ASTM) publication ‘‘Standard
Specification for Roof and Rock Bolts

eliminates the concern that mine

engineering knowledge of the ASTM
standard as manufacturers. The
certifications also are made available to
an Authorized Representative of the
Secretary to attest to the appropriate
testing and manufacture of the rock
bolts and accessories.
