ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-6306-3]


San Fernando Valley--Burbank Operable Unit Superfund Site; 
Proposed Notice of Administrative Settlement

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice; Request for public comment.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended by the Superfund 
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9601 
et seq., notice is hereby given that a proposed Prospective Purchaser 
Agreement associated with the San Fernando Valley North Hollywood 
Superfund Site--Burbank Operable Unit was executed by the United States 
Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'') on December 30, 1998. The 
proposed Prospective Purchaser Agreement would resolve certain 
potential claims of the United States under sections 106 and 107 of 
CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9606 and 9607, against Cinnabar, Inc., Cinnabar 
California, Cinnabar Florida, and Kamork Partners (collectively the 
``Purchaser''). The Purchaser plans to acquire a three-acre parcel 
located within the Burbank Operable Unit in Burbank, California, which 
the Purchaser currently leases. The Purchaser intends to continue the 
current use of the property as the location of its business for the 
manufacture of scenery, props and movie miniatures. The proposed 
settlement would require the Purchaser to pay EPA $ 50,000. EPA agreed 
to this amount based on the Purchaser's demonstration to EPA that the 
Purchaser has a limited ability-to-pay.
    For thirty (30) calendar days following the date of publication of 
this notice, EPA will receive written comments relating to the proposed 
settlement. If requested prior to the expiration of this public comment 
period, EPA will provide an opportunity for a public meeting in the 
affected area. EPA's response to any comments received will be 
available for public inspection at the U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before April 5, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Availability: The proposed Prospective Purchaser Agreement 
and additional background documentation relating to the settlement are 
available for public inspection at the U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105. A copy of the 
proposed settlement may be obtained from Marie M. Rongone, Assistant 
Regional Counsel (ORC-3), Office of Regional Counsel, U.S. EPA Region 
IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105. Comments should 
reference ``Cinnabar Prospective Purchaser Agreement, San Fernando 
Valley Superfund Site, Burbank Operable Unit,'' and ``Docket
