[FRL-7915-2]


Proposed CERCLA Section 122(g) de minimis Administrative 
Agreement Regarding the Li Tungsten Superfund Site, Located in Glen 
Cove, Nassau County, NY

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice; request for public comment.

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

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), notice is hereby given by the 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA''), Region II, of a 
proposed de minimis administrative agreement pursuant to section 122(g) 
of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9622(g), pertaining to the Li Tungsten Site 
(``Site'') located in Glen Cove, Nassau County, New York. The 
settlement requires that 22 settling parties, identified by EPA as 
having contributed a minimal volume of hazardous substances, pay a 
total of $210,970 into a special account which has been established for 
the Site. This amount is considered to be their fair share of cleanup 
costs incurred and anticipated to be incurred in the future, plus a 
``premium'' that accounts for, among other things, uncertainties 
associated with the costs of that future work at the Site. The 
settlement includes a covenant not to sue the settling parties for 
claims pursuant to sections 106 and 107(a) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9606 
and 9607(a), in exchange for their payment of monies. For thirty (30) 
days following the date of publication of this notice, EPA will receive 
written comments relating to the settlement. EPA will consider all 
comments received and may modify or withdraw its consent to the 
settlement if comments received disclose facts or considerations that 
indicate that the proposed settlement is inappropriate, improper, or 
inadequate. EPA's response to any comments received will be available 
for public inspection at EPA Region II, 290 Broadway, New York, New 
York 10007-1866.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before June 20, 2005.

ADDRESSES: The proposed settlement is available for public inspection 
at EPA Region II offices at 290 Broadway, New York, New York 10007-
1866. Comments should reference the Li Tungsten Site located in Glen 
Cove, Nassau County, New York, Index No. CERCLA-02-2005-2003. To 
request a copy of the proposed settlement agreement, please contact the
