9675, notice is hereby given that a proposed purchaser agreement 
(Purchaser Agreement) associated with the Kane and Lombard Superfund 
Site in Baltimore, Maryland was executed by the Environmental 
Protection Agency and the Department of Justice and is now subject to

its consent if comments received disclose facts or considerations which

inadequate. The Purchaser Agreement would resolve certain potential EPA 
claims under section 107 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9607, against Double 
Eagle Enterprises, Inc. (Purchaser). The settlement would require the 
Purchaser to, among other things, pay $1500.00 within thirty (30) days 
of the effective date of the Purchaser Agreement to the EPA Hazardous 
Substances Superfund and abide by certain land use restrictions 
intended to protect the integrity of surface and subsurface structures 
installed by EPA in accordance with a CERCLA Record of Decision issued 
by EPA in September 1987.
    For thirty (30) days following the date of publication of this 
document, 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.
