SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Additional Information About the Proposed Settlement Agreement
Notice is hereby given that a proposed administrative agreement
between the United States Environmental Protection Agency, CBS
Operations Inc., and TCI Pacific Communications has been approved,
subject to public comment, by the Department of Justice pursuant to
Section 122(h)(1) of CERCLA. The administrative agreement was signed by
the Director of the Hazardous Site Cleanup Division, EPA Region III, on
June 15, 2007. The settlement provides for recovery of 100% of the
costs incurred by EPA and the U.S. Department of Justice on behalf of
EPA in connection with OU4 of the Site after January 1, 2002, through

The Environmental Protection Agency will receive written comments
on the proposed administrative settlement for a period of thirty (30)
days from the date of publication of this Notice. EPA or the Department
of Justice may withdraw or withhold consent to the proposed settlement
agreement if the comments disclose facts or considerations that
indicate that such consent is inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or
inconsistent with the requirements of CERCLA. Unless EPA or the
Department of Justice determines, based on any comments which may be
submitted, that consent to the settlement agreement should be
withdrawn, the terms of the agreement will be affirmed.
