Notice of Lodging of a Bankruptcy Settlement Agreement Pursuant 
to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and 
Liability Act

    Notice is hereby given that a proposed Stipulation Between 
Reorganized Debtor and the Environmental Protection Agency Regarding 
Settlement of Dispute Related to Any and All Claims of the 
Environmental Protection Agency (hereinafter ``Bankruptcy Settlement 
Agreement'') in In re Velie Circuits, Inc., Chap. 11, Case No. SA 96-
11768 LR, was lodged on or about October 9, 2001, with the United 
States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, Santa 
Ana Division. The proposed Bankruptcy Settlement Agreement would 
resolve the United States' claims under section 107 of the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act 
of 1980, 42 U.S.C. 9607, as amended, against the debtor related to 
response costs incurred by the Environmental Protection Agency in 
connection with the release of hazardous substances at the Omega 
Chemical Superfund Site (``Site'') in Whittier, California. In its 
proof of claim, the United States alleged that the debtor is liable as 
a person who, by contract, agreement, or otherwise, arranged for the 
disposal of hazardous substances at the Site. Under the proposed 
Bankruptcy Settlement Agreement, the debtor will grant the United 
States an allowed general unsecured claim in the bankruptcy in the 
amount of $80,000. The United States will be made current relative to 
past distributions made to general unsecured claimants, and will 
thereafter share, pro-rate in all future distributions made to general 
unsecured payments.

days from the date of this publication, comments relating to the
