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 amendment and of the opportunity to comment.

As a result of this amendment, and a previous amendment, effective on November 9, 2005, the total number of Settling Parties under the Settlement Agreement will be seventy-one (71). The new Settling Parties, and the previous Settling Parties, will be jointly and severally liable for the requirements of the Settlement Agreement, as amended, to pay up to $13,150,000 to fund EPA’s performance of a remedial investigation and feasibility study (‘‘RI/ FS’’) for the Lower Passaic River Study Area of the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site.

improve public health by reducing exposure to arsenic in drinking 
water.
    EPA has determined that these revisions are no less stringent than 
the corresponding federal regulations. Therefore, EPA intends to 
approve these program revisions. This approval action does not extend 
to public water systems (PWSs) in Indian Country, as that term is 
defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151. By approving these rules, EPA does not 
intend to affect the rights of federally recognized Indian tribes in 
Wisconsin, nor does it intend to limit existing rights of the State of 
Wisconsin.
