Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act

    Under 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby given that on September 28, 
2005, a proposed consent decree in United States v. Key Investment 
Company et al., Civil Action No. 98-5162, was lodged with the United 
States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
    In this action the United States is seeking response costs pursuant 
to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability 
Act (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq., in connection with the North 
Penn Area Six Superfund Site (``Site''), which consists of a 
contaminated groundwater plume and a number of separate parcels of

County, Pennsylvania. The proposed consent decree will resolve the 
United States' claims against Westside Industries L.P., Westside 
Industries Group LLC, Peter Borgman, Byron Lavan, and Peter Lowenthal 
(``Settling Defendants'') in connection with the Site. Under the terms 
of the proposed consent decree, Settling Defendants will make a cash
