II. Background

A. What Guidance Does this PR Notice

Provide?

The PR Notice provides revised

recommended first aid instructions for

all pesticide products, unless they are

determined to be medically

inappropriate. Some of the major

changes include revising the ingestion

first aid statements so that inducing

vomiting is only recommended by a

doctor or poison control center, not the

label; the first aid statements are now

the same for all toxicity categories; the

instructions have been revised to be

easier to understand and, in some cases,

more explicit. The heading ‘‘First Aid’’

is being recommended for use in place

of ‘‘Statement of Practical Treatment.’’

In addition, a format using nonnarrative text and a box or table to

highlight the information is being

suggested. The PR Notice provides

separate instructions for products

containing petroleum distillates. The

recommendation is now being made to

avoid ingesting any water (or other

liquids) for these products, unless data

shows it is advantageous.

While the PR Notice is effective now,

we will accept comments for 30 days. If

the PR Notice is revised, EPA will issue

an updated notice.

B. Why is a PR Notice Guidance and Not

a Rule?

The PR Notice discussed in this

notice is intended to provide guidance

to EPA personnel and decision-makers,

and to the public. As a guidance

document and not a rule, this policy is

not binding on either EPA or any

outside parties. Although this guidance

document provides a starting point for

EPA decisions, EPA will depart from

this policy where the facts or

circumstances warrant. In such cases,

EPA will explain why a different course

was taken. Similarly, outside parties

remain free to assert that this policy is

not appropriate for a specific pesticide

or that the specific circumstances

demonstrate that this policy should be

abandoned.

EPA has stated in this notice that it

will make available revised guidance

after consideration of public comment,

if necessary. Public comment is not

being solicited for the purpose of

converting this guidance document into

a binding rule. EPA will not be

codifying this policy in the Code of

Federal Regulations. EPA is allowing for

comments so as to ensure the revised

guidance is complete and medically

accurate.

The ‘‘revised’’ guidance will not be an

unalterable document. Once a ‘‘revised’’

guidance document is issued, EPA will

continue to treat it as guidance, not a

rule. Accordingly, on a case-by-case

basis, EPA will decide whether it is

appropriate to depart from the guidance

or to modify the overall approach in the

guidance. In the course of commenting

on this guidance document, EPA would

welcome comments that specifically

address how the guidance document

can be structured so that it provides

meaningful guidance without imposing

binding requirements.

Prospective Purchaser Agreement and

Covenant Not To Sue Under the

Comprehensive Environmental

Response, Compensation, and Liability

Act Regarding the Yurgin Motors

Superfund Site, Mantua Township, NJ

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency.

ACTION: Notice of proposed prospective

purchaser agreement and request for

public comment.

SUMMARY: In accordance with Section

122(i) of the Comprehensive

Environmental Response,

Compensation, and Liability Act of

1980, as amended ( CERCLA’’), 42

U.S.C. 9601 et seq., the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency

(‘‘EPA’’) announces a proposed

administrative settlement with the

Matthew F. Guzzo (The ‘‘Settling

Party’’), a ‘‘prospective purchaser’’ of

the Yurgin Motors Superfund Site

(‘‘Site’’) in Mantua Township, New

Jersey. The proposed administrative

settlement is memorialized in an

Agreement And Covenant Not To Sue

(‘‘Agreement’’) between EPA and

Matthew F. Guzzo. By this Notice, EPA

is informing the public of the proposed

settlement and of the opportunity to

comment.

In 1996 EPA performed a CERCLA

removal action at the Site, a wooded lot

of some 26 acres in a residential area.

The previous owner operated an

automotive repair facility at the Site,

leaving behind various waste materials

containing hazardous substances.

During the removal action EPA removed

drums, compressed gas cylinders, small

containers containing corrosive and

ignitable wastes, PCBs, and halogenated

solvents from the Site. Now abandoned,

the Site is an eyesore with dilapidated

buildings and has attracted trash

dumpers. Mr. Guzzo has pledged to

demolish the buildings, clean up the

Site, and remove two empty

underground storage tanks. EPA

believes this settlement serves the

public interest because the Site will be

restored to a useful condition.

Under the agreement, Matthew Guzzo

will pay $6,500 to EPA and in return

will receive a covenant not to sue from

the United States for civil liabilities

pursuant to Sections 106 and 107(a) of

CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9606 and 9607(a),

with the respect to existing

contamination present at the Site.

EPA will consider any comments

received during the comment period

20980 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 76 / Wednesday, April 19, 2000 / Notices

and may withdraw or withhold consent

to the proposed settlement if any

comments provide information which

indicates the proposed settlement is

inappropriate, improper, or inadequate.

EPA’s response to any comments

received will be available for public

inspection at the U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency, Office of Regional

Counsel, 290 Broadway, 17th Floor,

New York, New York 10007–1866.

Telephone: (212) 637–3142.

Pursuant to EPA guidance, the

Agreement may not be issued without

the concurrence of the Assistant

Attorney General for Environment and

natural resources of the U.S. Department

of Justice. The Assistant Attorney

general has approved the proposed

Agreement in writing.

DATES: Comments must be provided

within May 19, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to

Agency, Office of Regional Counsel, 290
