of 1980 (``CERCLA'')
Consistent with Section 122(d) of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended
(``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9622(d), and 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby
given that on May 20, 2008, the United States lodged two amendments to

States of America v. Abex Aerospace Division, et al, Civil No. 00-cv-
012471 TJH(JWJx) (USDC C.D. Cal.). The original Consent Decree resolved
the liability of certain defendants for the ``Phase 1a Area'' of the
Site under Sections 106 and 107 of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (``CERCLA''), 42

necessary to address indoor air contamination observed at an indoor
roller skating rink located adjacent to the Omega Chemical Corporation

1999, 64 FR 2950 (``Site''). The Second Amendment adds additional
Settling Work Defendants, and Settling Cash Defendants to those covered
by the original Consent Decree, as amended. The Second Amendment also
incorporates additional volume and related payments of certain original
Settling Cash Defendants, and corrects certain omissions and
typographical errors in the caption. The Department of Justice will
receive for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of this
