T. 9 S., R. 97 W., Sections 18, 19, and 30;
T. 9 S., R. 98 W., Sections 13 to 36, inclusive;
T. 10 S., R. 98 W., Sections 1 to 3, inclusive;
T. 9 S., R. 99 W., Sections 25 and 36.

This temporary closure is necessary
due to the severe intensity of the Pine
Ridge Fire. The fire destroyed much of
the natural vegetation that held soils in
place. A temporary closure of public
land to vehicle and foot traffic within
the burned area is necessary to stabilize
soils, prevent erosion and protect public
health and safety. The BLM spread a
quick germinating, hybrid annual seed
and plans to disperse native species
seeds in the affected area. The dispersed
seeds need to be left undisturbed to
create root structure and stabilize soils.
Soil erosion prevention, re-seeding
operations and damage surveys are
required for successful stabilization and
rehabilitation of the burn area. Public
use of the burned area will hamper
these efforts and delay rehabilitation.
The BLM will post closure signs at
main entry points to the temporary
closure area. The closure notice will be
posted in the Grand Junction Field
Office along with maps of the affected
area and other documents associated
with this closure including the

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Extension to Public
Comment Period for Supplemental
Consent Decree Lodged Under the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act
On October 10, 2012, the Department
of Justice lodged a proposed
Supplemental Consent Decree with the
United States District Court for the
District of Massachusetts in the lawsuit
entitled, United States and
Massachusetts v. AVX Corporation,
Civil Action No. 83–3882–Y, resolving
AVX Corporation’s liability under the
unknown conditions/new information
and cost-related reopeners in the 1992
Consent Decree between United States
and the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts and AVX in connection
with the New Bedford Harbor
Superfund Site. 77 FR 63871. Under the
terms of the Supplemental Consent
Decree, AVX will pay an additional
$366.25 million with interest (in
addition to the $59 million, plus
interest, that AVX paid for response
costs in the 1992 Consent Decree) in
three payments spanning two years and
will provide financial assurance to
secure the required payments. The
governments will release their claims
for all response costs and injunctive
relief without new ‘‘reopeners’’ under
Sections 106 and 107 of CERCLA,
among other alleged claims. The
governments retain their rights to
additional relief for natural resource
damages pursuant to a reservation of
rights in the 1992 Consent Decree.
The prior notice indicated that the
Department of Justice would receive
comments concerning the settlement for
a period of thirty (30) days from the date
of publication of the notice on October
17, 2012. Having received a request for
an extension of the initial comment
period and given the public interest in
this settlement, the United States is
extending the comment period for an
additional thirty (30) days. The United
States Environmental Protection Agency
has also adjourned the effective date of
the Unilateral Administrative Order,
issued by EPA Region 1 to AVX on
