from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the 
deletion of the Pesses Chemical Company Site in Fort Worth, Tarrant 
County, Texas from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL is 
Appendix B of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution 
Contingency Plan (NCP), 40 CFR part 300, which EPA promulgated pursuant 
to Section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA or Superfund), as amended, EPA 
and the State of Texas have determined that all appropriate Superfund-
financed responses under CERCLA have been implemented and that no 
further cleanup by responsible parties is appropriate. Moreover, EPA 
and the State of Texas have determined that response activities 
conducted at the Site to date have been protective of public health, 
welfare, and the environment.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 28, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Earl G. Hendrick, U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 6, 1445 Ross Avenue, Dallas, 
Texas 75202-2733, (214) 665-8519 or 1-800-533-3508.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Site to be deleted from the NPL is: 
Pesses Chemical Company Site, Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas, also 
known as the Pesses Company (S'West) Site.
    A Notice of Intent to Delete for this Site was published on April 
17, 1995, (60 FR 19203). The closing date for comments on the Notice of 
Intent to Delete was June 13, 1995. EPA received no letters or comments 
during the deletion period which opposed the deletion of this Site from 
the NPL. EPA received one telephone inquiry requesting information 
about the Site. A summary of this telephone conversation has been 
included in the EPA, Region 6, Deletion Docket for the Site.
    The EPA identifies sites which appear to present a significant risk 
to public health, welfare, or the environment and it maintains the NPL 
as the list of those sites. Sites on the NPL may be the subject of 
remedial actions financed by the Hazardous Substance Superfund (Fund). 
Any site deleted from the NPL remains eligible for Fund-financed 
remedial actions in the unlikely event that conditions at the site 
warrant such action. Section 300.425(e)(3) of the NCP, provides that in 
the event of a significant release from a site deleted from the NPL, 
the site shall be restored to the NPL without application of the Hazard 
Ranking System. Deletion of a site from the NPL does not affect 
responsible party liability or impede agency efforts to recover costs 
associated with response actions.
