chlorinated volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including

United States.
EPA will consider all comments submitted by the date set forth
above and may modify or withdraw its consent to the settlement if
comments received disclose facts or considerations that indicate the
proposed settlement is inappropriate, improper, or inadequate.
Dated: July 14, 2017.

Director, Superfund Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
