I. Background

NEXTLINK Communications, Inc., a

telecommunications company

incorporated in the State of Delaware

and located at 1505 Farm Credit Drive,

McLean, Virginia 22102, failed to

prepare SPCC plans for eleven facilities.

NEXTLINK Communications, Inc.

disclosed, pursuant to the EPA’s

‘‘Incentives for Self-Policing: Discovery,

Disclosures, Correction and Prevention

of Violations’’ (‘‘Audit Policy’’), 60 FR

66,706 (December 22, 1995), that they

failed to prepare SPCC plans for eleven

facilities where they stored diesel oil in

above ground storage tanks, in violation

of the CWA section 311(b)(3) and 40

CFR Part 112. EPA determined that

NEXTLINK met the criteria set out in

the Audit Policy for a 100% waiver of

the gravity component of the penalty.

As a result, EPA waived the gravity

based penalty ($43,856.30) and

proposed a settlement penalty amount

of three thousand, six hundred and

three ($3,603.00). This is the amount of

the economic benefit gained by

NEXTLINK, attributable to their delayed

compliance with the SPCC regulations.

NEXTLINK Communications, Inc. has

agreed to pay this amount in civil

penalties. EPA and NEXTLINK

negotiated and signed an administrative

consent agreement, following the

Consolidated Rules of Procedure, 40

CFR 22.13, on September 7, 2000 (In Re:

NEXTLINK Communications, Inc.,

Docket No. MM–HQ–2000–0004). This

consent agreement is subject to public

notice and comment under CWA section

311(b)(6), 33 U.S.C. 1321(b)(6).

Under CWA section 311(b)(6)(A), 33

U.S.C. 1321(b)(6)(A), any owner,

operator, or person in charge of a vessel,

onshore facility, or offshore facility from

which oil is discharged in violation of

the CWA section 311 (b)(3), 33 U.S.C.

1321(b)(3), or who fails or refuses to

comply with any regulations that have

been issued under CWA section 311(j),

33 U.S.C. 1321(j), may be assessed an

administrative civil penalty of up to

$137,500 by EPA. Class II proceedings

under CWA section 311(b)(6) are

conducted in accordance with 40 CFR

Part 22.

The procedures by which the public

may comment on a proposed Class II

penalty order, or participate in a Clean

Water Act Class II penalty proceeding,

are set forth in 40 CFR 22.45. The

deadline for submitting public comment

on this proposed final order is October

25, 2000. All comments will be

transferred to the Environmental

Appeals Board (‘‘EAB’’) of EPA for

consideration. The powers and duties of

the EAB are outlined in 40 CFR 22.04(a).

Pursuant to CWA section 311(b)(6)(C),

EPA will not issue an order in this

proceeding prior to the close of the

public comment period.
