Proposed Administrative Settlement
Under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act; Saco
Municipal Landfill Superfund Site
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency.
ACTION: Notice of proposed settlement
agreement and request for public
comment.
SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and the Maine
Department of Environmental Protection
are proposing a settlement to address
claims under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation
and Liability Act of 1980, as amended
(CERCLA), 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq. A
public notice is being published to
inform the public of the settlement and
provide opportunity to comment. The
settlement would require
implementation of a non-time-critical
removal action and would resolve the
liability under CERCLA of the City of
Saco and 11 generators of hazardous
waste disposed of at the Saco Municipal
Landfill for past costs incurred by EPA
in connection with remedial
investigations, enforcement and access
actions, and Site oversight.
DATES: Comments must be provided on
or before July 30, 1997.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be
addressed to Mary Jane O’Donnell, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency,
Region I, JFK Federal Building,
Mailcode HBT, Boston, Massachusetts

Administrative Agreement under 122

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation
and Liability Act of 1980, as amended
(CERCLA), 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq., notice
is hereby given of an Administrative
Order on Consent to implement a non-
time-critical removal action and a
proposed administrative settlement
under 122(h) of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation
and Liability Act. The settlement was
approved by EPA, Region I and the
Department of Justice subject to review
by the public pursuant to this notice.
The City of Saco and 11 generators
have committed to participating in the
settlement. Under the proposed
settlements, the City of Saco will
implement a non-time critical removal
action at the Saco Municipal Landfill
Superfund Site in Saco, Maine. This
work will include the design,
construction, operation and long-term
maintenance and monitoring of the
effectiveness of the landfill cap. This
agreement also requires the excavation
of contaminated sediments from an area
close to the landfill and consolidation of
the excavated sediments with waste
material in the landfill. The work is
expected to cost approximately $6
million. The City will also pay EPA
costs if the agency takes over the work;
pay EPA’s enforcement and access costs;
and pay EPA’s oversight costs in excess
of $400,000. The remaining eleven
settling parties will pay approximately
$1 million to the City to help pay for the
work. The City has completed the
design of the landfill cap and will start
construction soon. The settling parties,
including the City of Saco, are released
from their liability for past costs of
roughly $1.5 million.
This settlement embraces the orphan
share reform, which is one of
Administrator Carol Browner’s
Administrative Reforms for the
Superfund program. As authorized by
this reform, this settlement releases the
settling parties from the obligation to
pay past costs up to 25% of the costs of
the cleanup.
EPA is entering into this agreement
under the authority of CERCLA section
101 et seq., which provides EPA with
authority to consider, compromise, and
settle a claim under sections 106 and
107 of CERCLA for costs incurred by the
United States if the claim has not been
referred to the U.S. Department of
Justice for further action. EPA will
receive written comments relating to
this settlement for thirty (30) days from
the date of publication of this
document.
A copy of the proposed administrative
settlement may be obtained in person or
by mail from Diane Nye, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, JFK
Federal Building, Mailcode SES, Boston,
Massachusetts 02203, (617) 565–3658.

SUMMARY: On December 30, 1996, the
Board and the FDIC (the ‘‘agencies’’)
requested public comment for 60 days
on proposed revisions to the Foreign
Branch Report of Condition (Foreign
Branch Report), which is currently an
approved collection of information (61
FR 68814–68817). After reviewing the
comments received, the Federal
Financial Institutions Examination
Council (FFIEC), of which the agencies
are members, decided to study further
the agencies’ needs for information on
the foreign branches of U.S. banks for
supervisory and other public policy
purposes. Thus, the FFIEC and the
agencies are not proceeding with most
of the proposed changes to the Foreign
Branch Report. The only change that
will be implemented at this time is a
revision to conform the reporting
instructions with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP).
In accordance with requirements of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. chapter 35), the agencies may
not conduct or sponsor, and the
respondent is not required to respond
to, an information collection that has
been extended, revised, or implemented
on or after October 1, 1995, unless it
displays a currently valid Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) control
number. Comments are invited on: a.
whether the following proposed revised
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
agencies’ functions, including whether
the information has practical utility; b.
the accuracy of the agencies’ estimates
of the burden of the information
collection as it is proposed to be
revised, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; c.
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; d. ways to minimize the
burden of information collection on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology;
and e. estimates of capital or startup
costs and costs of operations,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information.
