This Notice amends and replaces the original notice published on

29, 2015, a proposed Consent Decree in United States v. Wyeth Holdings
LLC, Civil Action No. 3:15-cv-07153-AET, was lodged with the United
States Court for the District of New Jersey. In this action brought
pursuant to Sections 106, 107, and 113(g)(2) of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, 42
U.S.C. Sec. Sec. 9606, 9607 and 9613(g)(2) (``CERCLA''), the United
States seeks injunctive relief requiring Wyeth Holdings LLC (``Settling
Defendant'') to undertake certain environmental response actions at the
American Cyanamid Superfund Site (``Site'') located in Bridgewater, New
Jersey. The United States also seeks to recover costs incurred and to
be incurred by the United States in response to releases or threatened
releases of hazardous substances at or from the Site.
