BILLING CODE 4410-15-M DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree under the Lead-Based Paint Hazard Act Notice is hereby given that on October 4, 2000, two proposed consent decrees in

The United States alleged in its complaints that each defendant failed to provide information to tenants concerning lead-based paint hazards. Under the consent decrees, defendants have agreed to perform lead-based paint abatement and to pay HUD administrative penalties. The defendant in the *United States* v. *Wm.

There are three defendants in the *Borger* case. Borger Management Inc., manages more than 2,300 apartment units at more than 30 apartment buildings in the District of Columbia. The other two defendants, Rolling Terrace LLC and Randolph Towers Apartments LLC, each own one of the buildings managed by Borger Management, Inc.
