Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 18 / Tuesday, January 28, 1997 / Notices 4047

Notice. The agreements were also

subject to the approval of the Attorney

General, United States Department of

Justice or her designee.

The eleven parties agree to allow

complete access to their properties by

EPA and its representatives and to

cooperate and not to interfere with the

activities of EPA or its representatives

during an ongoing response action to

remove lead, cadmium and zinc

contamination from their properties in

Palmerton, Pennsylvania in exchange

for receiving a covenant not to sue

pursuant to section 122(g) of CERCLA,

42 U.S.C. 122(g), and contribution

protection pursuant to section 113(f) of

CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 113(f). The

agreements are subject to the

contingency that the Environmental

Protection Agency may elect not to

complete the settlements based on

matters brought to its attention during

the public comment period established

by this Notice.

EPA is entering into these agreements

under the authority of sections 122(g)

and 107 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9622(g)

and 9607. Section 122(g) of CERCLA, 42

U.S.C. 9622(g), authorizes early

settlements with de minimis parties to

allow them to resolve their potential

liability under CERCLA. Under this

authority, EPA proposes to settle with

homeowners at the Palmerton Zinc Site

who meet the standards for a de

minimis landowner settlement under

CERCLA section 122(g)(1)(B), 42 U.S.C.

122(g)(1)(B).

The Environmental Protection Agency

will receive written comments to these

proposed administrative settlements for

thirty (30) days from the date of

publication of this Notice. A copy of the

proposed Administrative Orders on

Consent can be obtained from the
