Notice of Ability To Pay—Cash-out 

Settlement Agreement for the 

Jefferson City Residential Yards Site 

Under Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation and Liability 

Act 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice; request for comment. 

SUMMARY: As required by the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act of 1980, as amended (CERCLA), 

notice is hereby given that a Section 

122(h)(1) cashout settlement agreement 

for ability to pay peripheral parties is 

proposed by the United States, on behalf 

of the Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA), and Montana Tunnels Mining, 

Inc. (MTMI), a Montana corporation, for 

the payment of certain response costs 

incurred at the Jefferson City Residential 

Yards Site in Jefferson City, Jefferson 

County, Montana (Site). 

The Site consists of 19 residential 

yards, a portion of a U.S. Postal Service 

property, and sections of Spring Creek, 

in and near Jefferson City, Montana. An 

area known as Corbin Flats Tailings, 

owned by MTMI, lies upstream of the 

Site, and contains approximately 

500,000 cubic yards of tailings. 

Precipitation events, snowmelt runoff, 

and other events have caused the 

tailings, which are contaminated with 

elevated levels of lead and arsenic, to 

move downstream along Spring Creek, 

and these materials were deposited in 

certain residential yards at the Site. 

The EPA’s response actions at the Site 

included excavation of contaminated 

soils, backfilling with clean soils, and 

re-grading and disposal of the 

contaminated soils. The removal action 

was completed in December of 2010. 

MTMI has agreed to pay EPA the 

principal amount of $372,217.14 plus 

interest, as a cashout settlement for a 

portion of the past costs expended at the 

Site. Payment shall be made in 35 

installments of $2,500 per month with 

a final balloon payment of $292,500. 

The first payment shall be due on the 

first day of the month beginning 30 days 

after the effective date of the agreement. 

EPA has notified the State of Montana 

of this action pursuant to Section 106(a) 

of CERCLA.

Notification of a Public Teleconference 

of the Chartered Science Advisory 

Board 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The EPA Science Advisory 

Board (SAB) Staff Office announces a 

public teleconference of the Chartered 

Science Advisory Board Panel to receive 

agency briefings on science topics and 

complete Board discussions of planned 

actions identified in the agency’s 

regulatory agenda and their supporting 

science. 

DATES: The public teleconference will 

be held on Friday, July 19, 2013 from 

1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). 

Location: The public teleconference 

will be conducted by telephone only. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any 

member of the public wishing to obtain 

information concerning the public 

meeting may contact Dr. Angela Nugent, 

Designated Federal Officer (DFO), EPA 

Science Advisory Board Staff Office 

(1400R), U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue 

NW., Washington, DC 20460; by 

telephone/voice mail at (202) 564–2218 

or at nugent.angela@epa.gov. General 

information about the SAB as well as 

any updates concerning the meeting 

announced in this notice may be found 

on the EPA Web site at http:// 

www.epa.gov/sab. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SAB 

was established pursuant to the 

Environmental Research, Development, 

and Demonstration Authorization Act 

(ERDDAA), codified at 42 U.S.C. 4365, 

to provide independent scientific and 

technical advice to the Administrator on 

the technical basis for Agency positions 

and regulations. The SAB is a Federal 

Advisory Committee chartered under 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2. The SAB will 

comply with the provisions of FACA 

and all appropriate SAB Staff Office 

procedural policies. Pursuant to FACA 

and EPA policy, notice is hereby given 

that the SAB will hold a public meeting 

to discuss and deliberate on the topics 

below. 

As noted in the Federal Register 

Notice announcing a meeting of the 

chartered SAB on March 7–8, 2013 (78 

FR 9689–9690), the EPA has recently 

underscored the need to routinely 

inform the SAB about proposed and 

planned agency actions that have a 

scientific or technical basis. 

Accordingly, the agency provided notice 

to the SAB that the Office of 

Management and Budget published the 

‘‘Unified (Regulatory) Agenda’’ on the 

Web on December 21, 2012 (http:// 

www.reginfo.gov/public). On March 7–8, 

2013, the Chartered SAB discussed 

whether it should provide advice and 

comment on the adequacy of the 

scientific and technical basis for EPA 

actions included in the Unified 

(Regulatory) Agenda. The chartered SAB 

identified three planned actions for 

additional fact-finding [Effluent 

Guidelines and Standards for 

Unconventional Oil and Gas Extraction 

Including Coalbed Methane and Shale 

Gas Extraction (2040 AF35); Revised 

Regulations for Environmental 

Radiation Protection Standards for 

Nuclear Power Plant Operations (2060 

AR12), and Petroleum Refinery Sector 

Risk and Technology Review (RTR) and 

New Source Performance Standards 

(2060 AQ75), which EPA plans to 

jointly propose with Petroleum Refinery 

Sector for Flares (2060–AR69)]. The 

chartered SAB discussed information 

gathered relating to these planned 

actions at a public teleconference on 

June 5, 2013 (78 FR 27964–27965). On 

July 19, 2013, the chartered SAB will 

conclude its discussion of the Petroleum 

Refinery Sector Risk and Technology 

Review (RTR) and New Source 

Performance Standards (2060 AQ75) 

and Petroleum Refinery Sector for Flares 

(2060–AR69) and receive briefings on 

science topics associated with those 

actions. 

Availability of Meeting Materials: 

Agendas and materials in support of this 

meeting will be placed on the EPA Web 

site at http://www.epa.gov/sab in 

advance of the meeting. 

Procedures for Providing Public Input: 

Public comment for consideration by 

EPA’s federal advisory committees and 

panels has a different purpose from 

public comment provided to EPA 

program offices. Therefore, the process 

for submitting comments to a federal 

advisory committee is different from the 

process used to submit comments to an 

EPA program office. 

Federal advisory committees and 

panels, including scientific advisory 

committees, provide independent 

advice to EPA. Members of the public 

can submit comments for a federal 

advisory committee to consider as it 

develops advice for EPA. Input from the 

public to the SAB will have the most 

impact if it provides specific scientific 

or technical information or analysis for 

SAB panels to consider or if it relates to 

the clarity or accuracy of the technical 

information. Members of the public 

wishing to provide comment should 

contact the Designated Federal Officer 

directly. Oral Statements: In general, 

individuals or groups requesting an oral 

presentation at a teleconference will be 

limited to three minutes. Each person 

making an oral statement should 

consider providing written comments as 

well as their oral statement so that the 

points presented orally can be expanded 

upon in writing. Interested parties 

should contact Dr. Angela Nugent, DFO, 

in writing (preferably via email) at the 

contact information noted above by July 

12, 2013 for the teleconference, to be 

placed on the list of public speakers. 

Written Statements: Written 

statements should be supplied to the 

DFO via email at the contact 

information noted above by July 12, 

2013 for the teleconference so that the 

information may be made available to 

the Panel members for their 

consideration. Written statements 

should be supplied in one of the 

following electronic formats: Adobe 

Acrobat PDF, MS Word, MS 

PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in IBM– 

PC/Windows 98/2000/XP format. It is 

the SAB Staff Office general policy to 

post written comments on the Web page 

for the advisory meeting or 

teleconference. Submitters are requested 

to provide an unsigned version of each 

document because the SAB Staff Office 

does not publish documents with
