ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-R03-SFUND-2011-0508; FRL-9317-3]

Notice of Proposed Prospective Purchaser Agreement Amendment

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice; Request for Public Comment.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a proposed prospective purchaser 
agreement amendment (``PPA Amendment'') associated with the Fischer & 
Porter Superfund Site in Warminster Township, Bucks County, 
Pennsylvania was executed by the Environmental Protection Agency 
(``EPA'') 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 PPA Amendment is inappropriate, improper, or 
inadequate. The PPA Amendment would resolve certain potential EPA 
claims under Sections 106 and 107 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9606 and 9607, 
against Blue Marlin Associates (``Purchasers''). In lieu of financial 
consideration, in exchange for EPA's covenant not to sue for response 
costs incurred at the Site, the settlement would require the Purchasers 
to, among other things, conduct a vapor intrusion study on their 
existing building located on the parcel adjacent to the property under 
consideration in the PPA Amendment, and, if any unacceptable risks from 
vapor intrusion were shown to be present, to take appropriate remedial 
measures as approved by EPA.
    For thirty (30) days following the date of publication of this 
notice, the Agency will receive written comments relating to the PPA 
Amendment. The Agency's response to any comments received will be 
available for public inspection at the U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency, Region III Office, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia PA 19103.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before July 13, 2011.

    Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID no. EPA-R03-SFUND-
2011-0508. EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included 
in the public docket without change, and may be made available online 
at http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information 
provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be 
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose 
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you 
consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through http://www.regulations.gov or e-mail. The http://www.regulations.gov Web site 
is an ``anonymous access'' system, which means EPA will not know your 
identity or contact information unless you provide it in the body of 
your comment. If you send an e-mail comment directly to EPA without 
going through http://www.regulations.gov, your e-mail address will be 
automatically captured and included as part of the comment that is 
placed in the public docket and made available on the Internet. If you 
submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you include your name 
and other contact information in the body of your comment and with any 
disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your comment due to 
technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA 
may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid 
the use of special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of 
any defects or viruses.
    Docket: All documents in the electronic docket are listed in the 
http://www.regulations.gov index for docket ID no. EPA-R03-SFUND-2011-
0508. The PPA Amendment itself displays a separate EPA internal docket 
number (``CERC-PPA-2000-0007'') used for other purposes. Although 
listed in the index, some information may not be publicly available, 
i.e., CBI or other information whose disclosure is restricted by 
statute. Certain other material, such as copyrighted material, is not 
placed on the Internet and will be available only in hard copy form.
    Additionally, the PPA Amendment and additional background 
information are available for public inspection at the U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region III Office, 1650 Arch Street, 
Philadelphia, PA 19103. A copy of the PPA Amendment may be obtained 
from Lydia Guy (3RC00), Regional Hearing Clerk, U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region III Office, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, 
PA 19103, or guy.lydia@epa.gov.
