Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 
(``CERCLA'')

    Consistent with Section 122(d) of the Comprehensive Environmental 
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended 
(``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9622(d), and 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby 
given that on September 24, 2007, a proposed Partial Consent Decree

United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi.
    In this action, the United States seeks to recover from various

costs incurred and to be incurred by the United States in responding to 
the release and/or threatened release of hazardous substances at and 
from the Industrial Pollution Control Site in Jackson, Hinds County, 
Mississippi. Under the proposed Consent Decree, Defendant Ferguson 
Harbour Incorporated will pay $10,000 to the Hazardous Substances
