Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to Toxic Substances 
Control Act

    Notice is hereby given that on September 18, 2007, a proposed 
consent decree in United States, et al. v. Transformer Services Inc., 
1:07-cv-00296-SM, was lodged with the United States District Court for 
the District of New Hampshire.
    The proposed Consent Decree will settle the United States' claims 
for violations of the Toxic Substances Control Act, 15 U.S.C. 2601, et 
seq., related to Transformer Services Inc.'s, (``TSI'') failure to 
dispose of PCB waste within one year from the date the waste was 
designated for disposal. Pursuant to the proposed Consent Decree, TSI 
will continue compliance with the terms of the January 30, 2001 Consent 
Agreement and Order except that, beginning on the effective date of the 
proposed Consent Decree, TSI agrees to fund the closure trust fund at 
$1500 per month (instead of the current $700 per month). The proposed 
Consent Decree further sets forth an enforceable schedule for TSI to 
finalize a clean-up resulting from a minor release of PCBs at its 
facility.
