    Notice is hereby given that on September 28, 2011, a proposed 
Consent Decree in United States and Allegheny County Health Department 
v. Eastman Chemical Resins, Inc., Civil Action No. 11-1240 was lodged 
with the United States District Court for the Western District of 
Pennsylvania. The proposed Consent Decree, lodged on September 28,
