AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (``U.S. EPA'').

ACTION: Proposal of CERCLA prospective purchaser agreement for the

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9601 et 
seq., as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 
1986 (``SARA''), Public Law 99-499, notice is hereby given that a 
proposed prospective purchaser agreement (``PPA'') for the Schafer 
Manufacturing/Hawkens Furniture Site (``the Site'') located in Union 
City, Michigan, has been executed by the Village of Union City. The 
proposed PPA has been submitted to the Attorney General for approval. 
The proposed PPA would resolve certain potential claims of the United 
States under Sections 106 and 107 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9606 and 9607,

Village of Union City to pay the United States $2,000 to be applied 
toward outstanding response costs incurred by the United States in 
conducting federally funded removal activities at the Site. The Site is 
not on the NPL, and no further response activities at the Site are 
anticipated at this time.
