DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Proposed Settlement Agreement Under the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act

    On March 12, 2014, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Settlement Agreement with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the 
Southern District of New York in the bankruptcy proceeding entitled In 
re Eastman Kodak Company, et al., No. 12-10202 (ALG).
    Under the Settlement Agreement, Eastman Kodak Company (``Kodak'') 
and its affiliated debtors and reorganized debtors have agreed to allow 
the United States Environmental Protection Agency's claims under the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act 
(``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9601-75, for unreimbursed past and future 
response costs in connection with the Mercury Refining Superfund Site 
in Colonie and Guilderland, New York, in the amount of $1,644,445, and 
in connection with the Fair Lawn Well Field Superfund Site in the 
amount of $2,116,682. The Settlement Agreement also addresses the 
application and allocation of a portion of a federal income tax refund 
owed by the United States to Kodak as a setoff against a portion of 
these allowed amounts.
    The Settlement Agreement contains a covenant not to sue Kodak from 
the United States under Sections 106 and 107 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9609
