APPELLANTS’ DESIGNATION OF RECORD AND STATEMENT OF ISSUES
PRESENTED ON APPEAL FROM THE ORDER OF THE HONORABLE
JUDITH K. FITZGERALD ENTERED SEPTEMBER 22, 2005
PacifiCorp and the VanCott Bagley Cornwall & McCarthy 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan
(collectively, the "Appellants"), pursuant to Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 8006, hereby
designate the record and issues presented on appeal to the United States District Court of
Delaware from the final order issued by United States Bankruptcy Judge Judith K. Fitzgerald,
which denied the Appellants’ Motion for Leave to File Late Proofs of Claim (the "Appeal").
Statement of Issues Presented on Appeal 1
1. Whether the court erred in concluding that the Appellants, the current and
immediate prior owners of the Vermiculite Intermountain Site in Salt Lake City,
Utah ("Site"), were not reasonably ascertainable from public records and
therefore were not "known" creditors constitutionally entitled to actual notice of
the bar date for filing claims against the Debtor, W.R. Grace & Co.?
2. Whether the court erred in concluding that, pursuant to Rule 9006 of the Federal
Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, Appellants may not file late claims on grounds of
excusable neglect'?
3. Whether the court erred in concluding that the Appellants are not entitled to
contribution under Section l13(f)(3)(b) of CERCLA from the Debtor for the costs
of an EPA-ordered removal of asbestos contaminated soils from the Site, where
contamination of the Site resulted from the Debtor’s arrangements to process
Grace vermiculite on-Site?
4. Whether the court erred in concluding that the VanCott Bagley Cornwall &
McCarthy 40l(k) Profit Sharing Plan received actual notice of the claims bar
date?
