BILLING CODE 4410-FY-P DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act On March 11, 2015, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois in the lawsuit entitled *United States* v. *Pharmacia LLC and Solutia Inc.,* Civil Action No. 13-0138. The United States filed this lawsuit under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”).

The United States' complaint names Pharmacia LLC and Solutia Inc. as defendants.

Clair County, Illinois. Both defendants signed the Consent Decree, agreeing to pay a total of $1.7 million in response costs.
