Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Under the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA)

    Under section 122(d)(2) of the Comprehensive Environmental 
Response, Compensation and Liability Act (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 
9622(D)(2), AND 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby given that on January 11, 
2002, a proposed Consent Decree in United States v. Franc Motors, et 
al., Civil Action No. 3:02CV71(AWT), was lodged with the United States 
District Court for the District of Connecticut.
    In this action, the United States sought recovery of over $1.6 
million of costs incurred by the United States Environmental Protection 
Agency in conducting a removal action at the National Oil Service 
Superfund Site in West Haven, Connecticut. The United States filed its 
complaint pursuant to section 107(a) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9607(a), 
seeking recovery of over $1.6 million. The complaint named 8 defendants 
which arranged for the disposal of waste oil at the Site. The proposed 
Consent Decree resolves the United States' cost recovery claims against 
all of those defendants. Under the proposed Decree, the settling 
defendants collectively agree to pay $305,127.14 in partial 
reimbursement of the United States' response costs.
    The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30) 
days from the date of this publication comments relating to the 
proposed decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney 
General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, PO Box 7611, U.S.
