Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and
Liability Act
On July 1, 2022, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed

for the Western District of Pennsylvania in the lawsuit entitled United
States and the Territory of American Samoa v. Starkist Co. and Starkist
Samoa Co., Civil Action No. 2:17 CV 01190-DSC.
The proposed Modification of Consent Decree pertains to a consent
