National Priorities List: Extension of Public Comment Period

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of intent for partial deletion of the RSR Corporation 
Superfund Site from the National Priorities List; notice of extension 
of the public comment period.

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

SUMMARY: As requested by some members of the public, the United States 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 is extending the public 
comment period on the intent to delete the residential portions of the 
RSR Corporation Superfund Site (RSR Site) known as Operable Unit (OU) 
Nos. 1 and 2 from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL 
constitutes Appendix B to 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).
    EPA bases its proposal to delete OU Nos. 1 and 2 on the 
determination by EPA and the State of Texas, through the

[[Page 24262]]

Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC), that all 
appropriate actions under CERCLA have been implemented to protect human 
health, welfare and the environment at OU Nos.1 and 2.
    This partial deletion pertains only to OU Nos. 1 and 2 of the RSR 
Site and does not include OU Nos. 3, 4 and 5. OU Nos. 3, 4 and 5 will 
remain on the NPL, and response activities will continue at those OUs.

DATES: The EPA is extending the public comment period and will accept 
comments concerning its proposal for partial deletion for an additional 
thirty (30) days after publication of this notice in the Federal 
Register and a newspaper of record.

Supplementary Information: This partial deletion of the RSR site is 
proposed in accordance with 40 CFR 300.425(e) and the Notice of Policy 
Change: Partial Deletion of Sites Listed on the National Priorities 
List. 60 FR 55466 (Nov. 1, 1995).
    The proposal for partial deletion pertains to OU No. 1, which 
includes all privately owned residential properties and residential 
high risk areas, such as schools and day care centers, located in the 
RSR site. In addition, this proposal for partial deletion pertains to 
OU No. 2, which includes the public residential housing area located in 
RSR Site that is currently owned by the Dallas Housing Authority (DHA). 
EPA has issued no further action Records of Decision (RODs) for OU Nos. 
1 and 2.

    EPA, with concurrence from the State of Texas, has determined that 
all appropriate CERCLA response actions have been completed at OU Nos. 
1 and 2 and protection of human health and the environment has been 
achieved in these areas. Therefore, EPA makes this proposal to delete 
only OU Nos. 1 and 2 of the RSR Corporation Superfund Site from the 
NPL.
