Notice of Proposed Prospective Purchaser Agreement Modification, 
Kansas City Structural Steel Superfund Site, Kansas City, Kansas

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice; request for public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a proposed prospective purchaser 
agreement modification (``PPA Modification'') associated with the 
Kansas City Structural Steel Superfund Site in Kansas City, Kansas was 
executed by the Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'') and the 
Department of Justice and is now subject to public comment, after which 
the United States may modify or withdraw its consent if comments 
received disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the PPA 
Modification is inappropriate, improper, or inadequate. The PPA 
Modification would replace the form of institutional controls (``ICs'') 
on the Site from a 1995 deed declaration to enrollment in the Kansas 
Environmental Use Controls (``EUC'') Program. The modification is 
associated with a proposed transfer of the property to a redeveloper to 
build a grocery and retail center on the Site. EPA will consider all 
comments and may modify or withdraw its consent to the PPA Modification 
if comments received disclose facts or considerations which indicate 
that the PPA Modification is inappropriate, improper, or inadequate. 
EPA's response to any comments received will be available for public 
inspection at the EPA Region 7 office located at 11201 Renner 
Boulevard, Lenexa, Kansas 66219.

consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through http://www.regulations.gov or email. The http://www.regulations.gov Web site

technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA 
may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid 
the use of special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of 
any defects or viruses.
    Docket: All documents in the electronic docket are listed in the 
http://www.regulations.gov index for docket ID no. EPA-R07-SFUND-2014-

Although listed in the index, some information may not be publicly 
available, i.e., CBI or other information whose disclosure is 
restricted by statute. Certain other material, such as copyrighted 
material, is not placed on the Internet and will be available only in 
hard copy form. Additionally, the PPA Amendment and additional
