Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 
1980, as Amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency

ACTION: Notice; request for public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response,

Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 
9601-9675,

[[Page 54015]]

notice is hereby given that a proposed purchaser agreement (``Purchaser 
Agreement'') associated with the Boyles Galvanizing Site in 
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was executed by the Environmental Protection 
Agency and the Department of Justice and is now subject to public 
comment, after which the United States may modify or withdraw its 
consent if comments received disclose facts or considerations which 
indicate that the Purchaser Agreement is inappropriate, improper, or 
inadequate. The Purchaser Agreement would resolve certain potential EPA 
claims under Section 107 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9607, against the New 
Kensington Community Development Corporation (``Purchaser''). The 
settlement would require the Purchaser to, among other things, deliver 
the sum of $64,800 of the purchase price to the United States at the 
time of closing and abide by certain land use restrictions intended to 
protect public health and welfare.
    For thirty (30) days following the date of publication of this 
notice, the Agency will receive written comments relating to the 
proposed Purchaser Agreement. The Agency's response to any comments 
received will be available for public inspection at the U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street, 
Philadelphia, PA 19103.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before November 4, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Availability: The proposed Purchaser Agreement and 
additional background information relating to the proposed Purchaser 
Agreement are available for public inspection at the U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA 
19103. A copy of the proposed Purchaser Agreement may be obtained from

Clerk (3RC00), 1650 Arch Street Philadelphia, PA 19103. Comments should

Agreement'' and ``EPA Docket No. III-99-006-DC,'' and should be 
forwarded to Suzanne Canning at the above address or through electronic 
mail at ``canning.suzanne@epa.gov.''
