    In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is 
hereby given that a proposed consent decree in United States v. Pretty 
Products, Inc., et al, Civil Action No. C2-91-074 (S.D. Ohio), was 
lodged on October 28, 1994 with the United States District Court for 
the Southern District of Ohio. The decree resolves claims against

to the Hazardous Substance Superfund, as reimbursement for response 
costs previously incurred by the United States in connection with the 
Site, the sum of $1,750,000, with interest from July 1, 1994. In 
addition, Defendants will pay costs incurred by the United States in 
overseeing remedial action work that is being undertaken by other 
Potentially Responsible Parties (``PRPs'') at the Site, to the extent 
that such oversight costs are not reimbursable under a separate 
settlement between the United States and those other PRPs.
