Proposed Administrative Settlement Agreement Under Section 122(h) 
of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and 
Liability Act for the Cornell-Dubilier Electronics, Inc. Superfund 
Site, Located in South Plainfield, Middlesex County, NJ

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of proposed administrative settlement and opportunity 
for public comment.

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

SUMMARY: The Evironmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to enter 
into an administrative settlement agreement that resolves certain 
claims under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, 
and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (CERCLA) pursuant to section 
122(h) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C 9622(h). In accordance with section 122(i) 
of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9622(i), this notice is being published to inform 
the public of the proposed settlement agreement and of the opportunity 
to comment.
    Under the proposed administrative settlement, the settling party, 
D.S.C. of Newark Enterprises, Inc. (``DSC'') will make a payment of 
$203,249 to resolve its liability for ``Past Response Costs,'' which 
are defined as those costs that EPA has paid at or in connection with a 
removal action performed at 126 Spicer Avenue, a residential property 
in South Plainfield, New Jersey through December 31, 2006, plus accrued 
interest on those costs. DSC will also make a payment of $25,000 to 
resolve its liability for violation of an administrative order on 
consent (``AOC'') that DSC entered into with EPA to perform the removal 
activities in question.
    In addition, the proposed administrative settlement provides that 
EPA may enter onto DSC's property--a former capacitor manufacturing 
facility--to perform the remedial action called for in the Record of 
Decision for Operable Unit 2 of the Site, which includes soil 
excavation and demolition of contaminated buildings.
    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 2, 290 
Broadway, 17th floor New York, New York 10007-1866.

DATES: Comments must be provided by September 24, 2007.
