previously had been granted a refund

for a service station at the same address

as David Blvd. Texaco. Martin informed

the OHA that it consigned its Texaco

product purchases to various subleases

of the station, of which Jarovics and

Kapner were one. Jarovics and Kapner

could not produce any evidence which

could substantiate their claim that they

purchased the Texaco products from

Martin and did not take the products on

consignment. The DOE determined the

consignees of purchasers of Texaco

products were not eligible for a refund

and that Jarovics and Kapner had failed

to establish that they in fact purchased

the Texaco products from Martin.

Consequently, the DOE determined that

granting Jarovics and Kapner a refund

would not constitute restitution for

Texaco’s alleged overcharges and their

Application for Refund should be

denied.

Texas Utilities Company, 11/28/94,

RC272–265

A refund was granted to Texas

Utilities Company (TUC) in the Subpart

V crude oil refund proceeding in a

decision dated September 29, 1994

(Case No. RF272–94695). However, a

subsidiary of TUC, Texas Utilities

Electric Company, had executed a

Utilities Escrow Settlement Claim Form

and Waiver and Release in the

Department of Energy Stripper Well

Exemption Litigation. The execution of

this form waived the rights of the

signatory, its parent and any affiliates to

any future crude oil refund payments.

Upon discovering the waiver signed by

the subsidiary, the refund granted in

Case No. RF272–94695 was rescinded.

Public Water Supply Supervision

Program; Program Revision for the

State of Washington

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency.
9684 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 34 / Tuesday, February 21, 1995 / Notices

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that

the State of Washington is revising its

approved State Public Water Supply

Supervision Primacy Program.

Washington has adopted drinking water

regulations for certain inorganic,

volatile organic and synthetic organic

chemicals, collectively known as the

Phase II and Phase V contaminants, and

for lead and copper. EPA has

determined that these State program

revisions are no less stringent than the

corresponding Federal regulations.

Therefore, EPA has tentatively decided

to approve these State program

revisions. By approving Washington’s

Phase II/V Contaminants Rule and its

Lead and Copper Rule, EPA does not

intend to affect the rights of Federally

recognized Indian tribes within ‘‘Indian

Country,’’ as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151,

nor does it intend to limit existing rights

of the State of Washington.

All interested parties may request a

public hearing. A request for public

hearing must be submitted by March 23,

1995 to the Regional Administrator at

the address shown below. Frivolous or

insubstantial requests for a hearing may

be denied by the Regional

Administrator. However, if a substantial

request for a public hearing is made by

March 23, 1995, a public hearing will be

held. If no timely and appropriate

request for a hearing is received and the

Regional Administrator does not elect to

hold a hearing on his own motion, this

determination shall become final and

effective on March 23, 1995.

Any request for a public hearing shall

include the following: (1) The name,

address, and telephone number of the

individual, organization, or other entity

requesting a hearing; (2) a brief

statement of the requesting person’s

interest in the Regional Administrator’s

determination and of information that

the requesting person intends to submit

at such hearing; and (3) the signature of

the individual making the request; or, if

the request is made on behalf of an

organization or other entity, the

signature of a responsible official of the

organization or other entity.

ADDRESSES: All documents relating to

this determination are available for

inspection between the hours of 8:00

a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through

Friday, at the following offices:

Comprehensive Environmental

Response, Compensation and Liability

Act (CERCLA) Section 104,

Announcement of Extension of

Application Deadline for the

Competition for Brownfields Economic

Redevelopment Initiative Pilots

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency.

ACTION: Notice to extend application

period.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection

Agency will accept proposals for

Brownfields Economic Redevelopment

Pilots beginning immediately. The

application period which was to close

March 1, 1995, has been extended to

close April 17, 1995. For those

applications received by March 1, 1995,

the Agency intends to competitively

select five Pilots by May 17, 1995. For

those applications received by April 17,

1995—combined with those

applications received by March 1, 1995

but not selected for the May 17, 1995

awards—the Agency intends to

competitively select ten Pilots by July

21, 1995.

DATES: This action is effective as of

December 1, 1994, and expires on April

17, 1995. All proposals must be received

and/or post marked by the expiration

date cited above.

ADDRESSES: Applications booklets can

be obtained by calling the Superfund

Hotline at 800–424–9346, or writing to:

U.S. EPA—Brownfields Application,

Superfund Document Center 5201G, 401

M Street, SW., Washington, DC 20460.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The

Superfund Hotline, 800–424–9346.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA’s

Brownfields Initiative is an organized

commitment to help communities

revitalize abandoned contaminated

properties, and to thereby eliminate

potential health risks and restore

economic vitality to areas where these

properties exist.

The objectives of the initiative are: to

build the capacity of affected and

interested parties to shape how

contaminated sites are cleaned up and

productively reused; to stimulate a

national search for innovative ways to

overcome the current obstacles to the

reuse of contaminated properties; and to

coalesce federal, state, and municipal

efforts to examine new approaches to

achieving cleanup and reuse; and to

explore the potential for combining an

economic stimulus and a speeded-up

environmental cleanup to contribute to

achieving environment justice.

EPA’s Brownfields Pilots (to be

funded up to $200,000 each over two

years) will test redevelopment models,

direct special efforts toward removing

regulatory barriers without sacrificing

protectiveness, and facilitate

coordinated efforts at the federal, state,

and local levels. EPA will develop a

coordinated federal strategy to help

initiate a significant national effort to

clean up and redevelop brownfields.

Three national pilot projects already

have been awarded.

Cities, counties, towns, states, and

Native American tribes are all eligible to

apply.

The Brownfields Economic

Redevelopment Initiative is founded on

the belief that ‘‘economic development

and environmental protection must go

hand in hand,’’ (Carol Browner,

Administrator, Environmental

Protection Agency, Announcing the

Cleveland Brownfields Pilot on

November 8, 1993.)

Proposals will be evaluated on the

following Criteria (a more detailed and

complete set of criteria will be included

in the application booklet):

• Demonstrated commitment of

public and private leadership to

brownfields redevelopment.

• Plans for effective community

involvement.

Clear delineation of how federal

support will make a difference.

• Potential for national replication.

• Government support and technical,

legal, and political capacity to complete

goals.

• Clearly outlined potential sources

of cleanup funding.

• Contributions to environmental

justice goals.

• Well-defined approach to

environmental assessment.

Solid Waste and Emergency Response.
