notice is hereby given that a proposed purchaser agreement (``Purchaser

time of closing and abide by certain land use restrictions intended to
protect public health and welfare.
For thirty (30) days following the date of publication of this
notice, the Agency will receive written comments relating to the
proposed Purchaser Agreement. The Agency's response to any comments
received will be available for public inspection at the U.S.
