Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act

    In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is 
hereby given that a proposed consent decree in United States v. Gaither 
S. Walser, Executor of the Estate of Nancy Miller, et al., Civil Action 
No. C-89-886-S, was lodged on April 7, 1994, with the United States 
District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina. That action 
was brought against defendants pursuant to the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (``CERCLA'') 
for payment of past costs incurred by the United States at the JMC 
Furniture Site in Lexington, North Carolina. The decree requires two 
settlors to pay $145,000 towards the United States' past costs. The 
United States has incurred costs in excess of $1.2 million in 
connection with a removal action at the JMC Site.
    This settlement is in addition to a consent decree with three prior 
settlors which involved the payment of $446,000, and which was entered 
by the Court on July 26, 1993.

days from the date of this publication, comments relating to the 
proposed consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant
