Notice of Lodging of Partial Consent Decree Under the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 
42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq.

    Under 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby given that on September 25, 
2001, a proposed partial consent decree (``consent decree'') in United 
States v. Chrysler Corp., et al., Civil Action No. 5:97CF00894, was 
lodged with the United States District Court for the Northern District 
of Ohio.
    In this action the United States sought recovery, under Sections 
107(a) and 113 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation and Liability Act (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9607(a) and 
9613, of response costs incurred in connection with the Krejci Dump 
Site in Summit County, Ohio (``Site''). The Decree resolves claims 
under Sections 106 and 107 of CERCLA against three entities alleged to 
be liable as a result of having arranged for the disposal of hazardous 
substances at the Site or having transported hazardous substances to 
the Site: Ford Motor Company (``Ford''), General Motors Corporation 
(``GM''), and the United States Department of Defense (``DoD''). Under 
the proposed Decree, Ford will perform the long-term remedial action at 
the Site, with financial support from GM. In addition, the Decree 
requires DoD to reimburse the Department of Interior for $594,000 in 
response costs and $66,000 in natural resource damages relating to the 
Site.
    The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30)

proposed consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General of the Environment and Natural Resources Division,

90-11-3-768 and 90-11-6-183.
    The proposed consent decree may be examined at the Office of the 
United States Attorney, 1800 Bank One Center, 600 Superior Avenue,
