Design Response Costs; Del Amo Superfund Site, Waste Pits Operable Unit

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice; request for public comment.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with Section 122(i) of the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, as amended by 
the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (``CERCLA''), 42 
U.S.C. 9622(i), notice is hereby given of a proposed Agreement for 
Recovery of Response Costs (``Agreement,'' Region 9 Docket No. 9-2006-
0016) pursuant to Section 122(h) of CERCLA concerning the Del Amo 
Superfund Site, Waste Pits Operable Unit (the ``Site''), located in Los 
Angeles, California. The settling parties to the Agreement are Shell 
Oil Company and the United States General Services Administration.
    The Agreement fully compensates EPA for past response costs related 
to the remedial design of the Waste Pits Operable Unit of the Del Amo 
Site. The settling parties performed work on the remedial design 
pursuant to a 1998 Unilateral Administrative Order (``UAO''). The UAO 
did not provide for the recovery of EPA oversight costs. The Agreement 
provides for a total recovery of $1,208,551.25. The Agreement also 
provides the settling parties with contribution protection under CERCLA 
113(f)(2) for response cost paid under the Agreement.
    For thirty (30) days following the date of publication of this 
Notice, the Agency will receive written comments relating to the 
proposed Agreement. The Agency's response to any comments will be
