information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Multimedia 

submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be 

accompanied by a written comment. 

The written comment is considered the 

official comment and should include 

discussion of all points you wish to 

make. The EPA will generally not 

consider comments or comment 

contents located outside of the primary 

submission (i.e., on the web, cloud, or 

other file sharing system). For 

additional submission methods, the full 

EPA public comment policy, 

information about CBI or multimedia 

submissions, and general guidance on 

making effective comments, please visit 

https://www.epa.gov/dockets/ 

commenting-epa-dockets. For additional 

information about submitting 

information identified as CBI, please 

contact the person listed in the FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of 

this document. Note that written 

comments containing CBI and 

submitted by mail may be delayed and 

deliveries or couriers will be received 

by scheduled appointment only. 

If you submit an electronic comment, 

EPA recommends that you include your 

name, mailing address, and an email 

address or other contact information in 

the body of your comment. This ensures 

that you can be identified as the 

submitter of the comment and allows 

EPA to contact you in case EPA cannot 

read your comment due to technical 

difficulties or needs further information 

on the substance of your comment. Any 

identifying or contact information 

provided in the body of a comment will 

be included as part of the comment that 

is placed in the official public docket 

and made available in EPA’s electronic 

public docket. 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. 

Use of the https://

www.regulations.gov website to submit 

comments to EPA electronically is 

EPA’s preferred method for receiving 

comments. The electronic public docket 

system is an ‘‘anonymous access’’ 

system, which means EPA will not 

know your identity, email address, or 

other contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

Please ensure that your comments are 

submitted within the specified comment 

period. Comments received after the 

close of the comment period will be 

marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not required to 

consider these late comments.

A. Does this action apply to me? 

This action provides information that 

is directed to the public in general. 

B. What action is the Agency taking? 

This document lists the statements of

Section 5(a)(3)(C). 

TSCA section 5(g) requires EPA to 

publish in the Federal Register a 

statement of its findings after its review 

of a submission under TSCA section

new use is not likely to present an 

unreasonable risk of injury to health or 

the environment. Such statements apply 

to PMNs, MCANs, and SNUNs 

submitted to EPA under TSCA section 

5. 

Anyone who plans to manufacture 

(which includes import) a new chemical 

substance for a non-exempt commercial 

purpose and any manufacturer or 

processor wishing to engage in a use of 

a chemical substance designated by EPA 

as a significant new use must submit a 

notice to EPA at least 90 days before

Proposed Settlement Agreement 

Pursuant to RCRA, CERCLA and the 

Authority of the Attorney General of 

the United States To Compromise and 

Settle Claims for the Former SCPC 

Facility, St. Croix, United States Virgin 

Islands 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Notice and request for public 

comment. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Solid 

Waste Disposal Act, as amended 

(commonly referred to as RCRA), and 

the Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act (‘‘CERCLA’’), notice is hereby given 

by the U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency (‘‘EPA’’), Region 2, of a 

proposed settlement agreement 

(‘‘Settlement’’) pursuant to RCRA and 

CERCLA with St. Croix Petrochemical 

Corporation (‘‘SCPC’’) (‘‘Settling Party’’) 

related to the former SCPC 

manufacturing facility that operated in 

the past on a portion of the former 

HOVENSA refinery (‘‘SCPC Facility’’) in 

St. Croix, United States Virgin Islands 

(‘‘USVI’’). 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before February 21, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: Reviewing Proposed 

Settlement: The proposed Settlement 

can be viewed online at https://

York, NY 10007–1866. Email: 

vargas.ricardito@epa.gov. Telephone: 

212–637–3703. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

Settlement would resolve the liability of 

SCPC for soil and groundwater 

contamination related to its former paraxylene manufacturing facility, a 20-acre 

portion of the former HOVENSA 

refinery in St. Croix. This Settlement 

would be contemporaneously finalized 

and become effective with a companion 

settlement between SCPC and the 

Hovensa Environmental Response Trust 

(‘‘ERT’’). The ERT was established 

during the HOVENSA, LLC bankruptcy 

proceedings, to, among other things, 

implement RCRA corrective measures at 

the former HOVENSA facility. Under 

both settlement agreements, SCPC 

would transfer its remaining assets of 

approximately $1.7 million to the ERT 

to help fund remediation of 

contamination caused by SCPC at the 

former HOVENSA facility. This 

payment would be made within 60 days 

of the Effective Date of the Settlement. 

The Settlement includes a covenant by 

EPA not to sue SCPC under sections 

3013 and 7003 of RCRA and sections 

106 and 107(a) of CERCLA regarding the 

SCPC Facility, contingent upon SCPC 

transferring its remaining assets to the 

ERT. For thirty (30) days following the 

date of publication of this notice, EPA 

will receive written comments relating 

to the Settlement. EPA and the United 

States Department of Justice will 

consider all comments received and 

may modify or withdraw consent to the 

Settlement if comments received 

disclose facts or considerations that 

indicate that the proposed Settlement is 

inappropriate, improper, or inadequate. 

The response to any comments can be 

viewed online at https://www.epa.gov/ 

ny/proposed-settlement-agreementformer-scpc-facility-st-croix-unitedstates-virgin-islands. A copy of the 

response to comments may be obtained 

from the EPA contact person identified 

above. Commenters may request an 

opportunity for a public meeting in the 

affected area in accordance with section 

7003(d) of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6973(d).
