its terms. EPA and the Settling Party

desire to resolve the Settling Party’s

alleged civil liability for Past Response

Costs without litigation and without the

admission or adjudication of any issue

of fact or law. EPA will consider public

comments on the proposed Agreement

for Recovery of Past Response Costs for

thirty days. EPA may withdraw from or

the PMNs pending or expired, and the

notices of commencement to

manufacture a new chemical that the

Agency has received under TSCA
