-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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. 9622(i), the U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency (``EPA''), Region II, announces a proposed 
administrative settlement pursuant to Section 122(h) of CERCLA, 42 
U.S.C. 9622(h), relating to the Aluminum Company of America Superfund 
Site (``Site''). The Site is located in the Town of Massena, St. 
Lawrence County, New York. This notice is being published pursuant to 
Section 122(i) of CERCLA to inform the public of the proposed 
settlement and of the opportunity to comment. EPA will consider any 
comments received during the comment period and may withdraw or 
withhold consent to the proposed settlement if comments disclose facts 
or considerations which indicate that the proposed settlement is 
inappropriate, improper, or inadequate.
    The proposed administrative settlement has been memorialized in an 
Administrative Order on Consent (``Order'') between EPA and the 
Aluminum Company of America (``ALCOA''). This Order will become 
effective after the close of the public comment period, unless comments 
received disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the 
proposed settlement is inappropriate, improper or inadequate, and EPA, 
in accordance with Section 122(i)(3) of CERCLA, modifies or withdraws 
its consent to the proposed settlement. Under the Order, ALCOA will be 
obligated to pay an aggregate of $300,957.49 to the Hazardous Substance 
Superfund in reimbursement of all of EPA's response costs relating to 
the Site through November 30, 1993, including accrued interest.
