SUMMARY: In accordance with section 122(i) of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, as amended
(``CERCLA''), notice is hereby given of a proposed administrative cost
recovery settlement under section 122(h)(1) of CERCLA concerning the
Metro-Plating Superfund site in Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan. The
settlement resolves an EPA claim under section 107(a) of CERCLA against

the terms of the agreement; (2) costs incurred or to be incurred by the
settling party that do not meet the definition of past response costs;

administrative order enforcement under section 106 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C.
9606; (4) criminal liability; and (5) natural resource damages.

notice, the Agency will receive written comments relating to the
settlement. The Agency will consider all comments received and may
modify or withdraw its consent to the settlement if comments received
