    In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is 
hereby given that on March 18, 1996, a proposed Consent Decree in 
United States v. H.S. Finishing Products Corporation, CV-94-5603 (JS),

States' claims that the defendant had violated provisions of the Clean

compound emissions into the atmosphere from surface coating processes
