AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice; request for public comment.

SUMMARY: Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, 
and Liability Act, as amended (``CERCLA''), the United States 
Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'') proposes to enter into a 
Prospective Purchaser Agreement (``PPA'') regarding the Anniston Lead 
Superfund Site in Anniston, Calhoun County, Alabama. EPA proposes to 
enter into the PPA with Habitat for Humanity of Calhoun County, Inc. 
(Habitat). Pursuant to the PPA, Habitat will conduct time-critical 
removal actions at the properties (``Properties'') covered by the PPA 
under EPA oversight. The PPA provides Habitat with a covenant not to 
sue from the United States for Existing Contamination on the Properties 
and releases any Superfund liens on the Properties as well. EPA will 
consider comments on the proposed PPA until May 16, 2003.
    EPA may withdraw from or modify the proposed PPA should such 
comments disclose facts or considerations which indicate the proposed 
PPA is inappropriate, improper, or inadequate. Copies of the proposed 
settlement are available from: Ms. Paula V. Batchelor, U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region IV, Waste Management Division, 
61 Forsyth Street, SW., Atlanta, Georgia 30303, 404/562-8887.

address within 30 days of the date of publication.

    Dated: April 3, 2003.
Archie Lee,
Chief, CERCLA Program Services Branch, Waste Management Division.
