Notice of Proposed Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order 
on Consent for Cost Reimbursement

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed settlement; request for public comment.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation, and Liability Act (``CERCLA''), notice is hereby given 
that a proposed CERCLA Section 122(h)(1) Settlement Agreement 
(``Proposed Agreement'') associated with the ITC Tank Fire Superfund 
Site in Deer Park, Harris County, Texas (``Site'') was executed by the 
Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'') and is now subject to public 
comment, after which EPA may modify or withdraw its consent if comments 
received disclose facts or considerations that indicate that the 
Proposed Agreement is inappropriate, improper, or inadequate. The 
Proposed Agreement would resolve potential EPA claims under Section 
107(a) of CERCLA, against Intercontinental Terminals Company LLC 
(``Settling Party'') for EPA response costs at the Deer Park Superfund 
Site in Texas. The settlement is $5.25 million and was based on 
negotiations which concluded with the settling party agreeing to make 
partial payment for EPA response costs.
    For thirty (30) days following the date of publication of this 
notice, EPA will receive electronic comments relating to the Proposed 
Agreement. EPA's response to any comments received will be available 
for public inspection by request. Please see the ADDRESSES section of
