Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Under Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act

    Under 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby given that on October 11, 2002, 
a proposed consent decree in Reinhold Industries, Inc. v. The National 
Park Service, 01 Civ. 1806 (MBM), was lodged with the United States 
District Court for the Southern District of New York.
    In this action, Reinhold Industries, Inc. (``Reinhold'') seeks a 
declaratory judgment that any claims asserted by the United States for 
recovery of costs incurred, or to be incurred, for response actions 
taken at or in connection with the release or threatened release of

bankruptcy. The United States, on behalf of the Secretary of the United 
States Department of Interior's (``DOI'') National Park Service, filed 
a counterclaim pursuant to section 107 of the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as 
amended (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9607, against Reinhold seeking 
reimbursement of response costs incurred in connection with Valley 
Forge.
    Pursuant to the proposed consent decree, Reinhold shall make a 
payment in the amount of $500,000.00 to the DOI in reimbursement of 
response costs.
