In accordance with Department of Justice policy, 28 CFR section

action entitled United States of America v. AlliedSignal Inc., et al.,

Civil Action No. 99-CV-0214 (LEK/GLS) (N.D.N.Y.), was lodged on

Northern District of New York. The proposed consent decree resolves

claims of the United States, on behalf of the U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency, under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,

Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C.

Secs. 9601-9675, against defendants AlliedSignal Inc., Amphenol

Corporation, Alexandra V. Spizziri, and John A. Spizziri, Sr. These

claims are for injunctive relief and recovery of response costs

incurred and to be incurred by the United States with respect to the

AlliedSignal and Amphenol will perform the remedy selected by the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency for cleanup of the Site, and will

reimburse the United States for $166,705.94 in oversight costs plus

accrued interest through the date of payment. Defendants John and

Alexandra Spizziri will provide access and institutional controls with

respect to the portions of the Site which they own. Each of the

defendants is also obligated to reimburse the United States for any
