the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability 
Act of 1980, as Amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization 
Act

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice; Request for public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended by the Superfund 
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 
9601-9675, notice is hereby given that a proposed prospective purchaser 
agreement (``Purchaser Agreement'') associated with the Fischer & 
Porter Superfund Site in Warminster Township, Bucks County, 
Pennsylvania was executed by the Environmental Protection Agency and 
the Department of Justice and is now subject to public comment, after 
which the United States may modify or withdraw its consent if comments 
received disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the 
Purchaser Agreement is inappropriate, improper, or inadequate. The 
Purchaser Agreement would resolve certain potential EPA claims under 
Sections 106 and 107 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9606, 9607, against Blue 
Marlin Associates (``Purchasers''). The settlement would require the 
Purchasers to, among other things, reimburse the Environmental 
Protection Agency $15,000.00 for response costs incurred and to be 
incurred at the Site.
    For thirty (30) days following the date of publication of this 
notice, the Agency will receive written comments relating to the 
Purchaser Agreement. The Agency's response to any comments received 
will be available for public inspection at the U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA 
19103.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before December 22, 2000.
