SUMMARY: In accordance with section 122(i) of the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, as amended, 42 
U.S.C. 9622(i), notice is hereby given of a proposed second 
administrative settlement for recovery of past and projected future 
response costs concerning the Beede Waste Oil Superfund Site in 
Plaistow, New Hampshire with the settling parties listed in the 
Supplementary Information portion of this notice. The U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency--Region I (EPA) is proposing to enter 
into a second de minimis settlement agreement to address claims under 
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability 
Act of 1980, as amended (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq. Notice is 
being published to inform the public of the proposed second settlement 
and of the opportunity to comment. This second settlement, embodied in 
a CERCLA section 122(g) Administrative Order on Consent (``AOC''), is 
designed to resolve each settling party's liability at the Site for 
past work, past response costs and specified future work and response 
costs through covenants under sections 106 and 107 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 
9606 and 9607, as well as to resolve each such settling party's 
liability at the Site for past response costs and estimated future 
response costs by the State of New Hampshire, through its Department of 
Environmental Services. The proposed AOC requires the settling parties 
listed in the Supplementary Information section below to pay an 
aggregate total of approximately $4,765,118.10. For thirty (30) days 
following the date of publication of this notice, the EPA will receive 
written comments relating to the settlement. The EPA will consider all 
comments received and may modify or withdraw its consent to the 
settlement if comments received disclose facts or considerations which 
indicate that the settlement is inappropriate, improper, or inadequate. 
The EPA's response to any comments received will be available for 
public inspection at the EPA Records Center, 1 Congress Street, Boston, 
MA 02114-2023 (Telephone Number: 617-918-1440).

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before October 10, 2002.
