Debtors Federal Resources Corporation (``FRC'') and Camp Bird Colorado, 
Inc. (``CBCI'') as well as their former principal Bentley Blum. The 
proposed settlement will (1) Establish the amounts of the United States 
claims at the four Sites at issue in the bankruptcies; (2) Provide an 
allowed preferred claim at the Camp Bird Site; (3) Establish United 
States' recoveries from FRC's insurance policies; (4) Grant a CNTS from 
the United States to Mr. Blum, and (5) Resolve all claims the Debtors 
have for and against Mr. Blum. The claims arise from the Debtors' 
liabilities under Section 107(a) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9607(a), for 
costs incurred and to be incurred relating to four Superfund Sites: The 
Conjecture Mine Site in Bonner County, Idaho; the Minnie Moore Mine
