AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice and request for public comment.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirements of section 122(h)(1) of 
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability 
Act, as amended (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9622(h)(1), notice is hereby 
given of a proposed administrative settlement under section 122(h) of 
CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9622(h), between EPA and Intermountain Oil Company 
(``Settling Party'') regarding the Intermountain Oil Company facility 
(the ``Facility'') at the Intermountain Waste Oil Refinery NPL Site 
(``Site''). The property which is the subject of this proposed 
settlement is a parcel of land approximately two acres in size and is 
located at approximately 995 South and 500 West in Bountiful, Davis 
County, Utah. The settlement, embodied in the proposed Agreement for 
Recovery of Response Costs (``Agreement''), is intended to resolve the 
Settling Party's liability at the Site for all response costs incurred 
and paid, or to be incurred and paid, by EPA in connection with the 
work performed at the Site as provided for in the Agreement and is 
based on the Settling Party's inability to pay for a significant 
portion of the response costs incurred by EPA at the Site.
    Intermountain Oil Company is the owner of a parcel of land which 
has been impacted by business operations at the Intermountain Oil 
Company Facility and is included within the defined boundaries of the 
Site. The proposed Agreement will resolve Settling Party's liability 
under section 107(a)(1) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9607(a)(1). Under the 
terms of the proposed Agreement,

the Settling Party agrees to pay to EPA the Net Sales Proceeds from the 
sale of Settling Party's property, i.e., Settling Party's only asset.

response costs incurred and paid, or to be incurred and paid, at the 
Site in connection with the work performed at the Site as provided for 
in the Agreement.

publication of this notice, the Agency will consider all comments
