    SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to settle a cost recovery claim with certain 
    potentially responsible parties (PRPs) with regard to past costs at the 
    Waukegan Paint and Lacquer Company, Inc. Site in Waukegan, Illinois. 
    EPA is authorized under Section 122(h) of the Comprehensive 
    Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as 
    amended (``CERCLA'') to enter into this administrative settlement.
        Response costs totalling $165,118 were incurred by EPA in 
    connection with an emergency removal action at the Waukegan Paint and 
    Lacquer Site. On February 23, 1995, U.S. EPA sent the PRPs a demand for 
    reimbursement of the Agency's past costs. The Settling Parties have 
    agreed to pay $94,000 to settle EPA's claim for reimbursement of 
    response costs related to the Site. EPA is proposing to approve this 
    administrative settlement because it reimburses EPA, in part, for costs 
    incurred during its response activities at this Site.
