[EPA-R07-SFUND-2014-0700; FRL-9906-36-Region-7]
Notice of Proposed Prospective Purchaser Agreement Modification,
Kansas City Structural Steel Superfund Site, Kansas City, Kansas
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice; request for public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a proposed prospective purchaser
agreement modification (``PPA Modification'') associated with the
Kansas City Structural Steel Superfund Site in Kansas City, Kansas was
executed by the Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'') and the
Department of Justice and is now subject to public comment, after which
the United States may modify or withdraw its consent if comments
received disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the PPA
Modification is inappropriate, improper, or inadequate. The PPA
Modification would replace the form of institutional controls (``ICs'')
on the Site from a 1995 deed declaration to enrollment in the Kansas
Environmental Use Controls (``EUC'') Program. The modification is
associated with a proposed transfer of the property to a redeveloper to
build a grocery and retail center on the Site. EPA will consider all
comments and may modify or withdraw its consent to the PPA Modification
if comments received disclose facts or considerations which indicate
that the PPA Modification is inappropriate, improper, or inadequate.
EPA's response to any comments received will be available for public
inspection at the EPA Region 7 office located at 11201 Renner
Boulevard, Lenexa, Kansas 66219.

the use of special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of
any defects or viruses.
