ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-5619-1]


National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; 
National Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of deletion of the AMP site in Glen Rock, in York 
County, Pennsylvania, from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'') announces the 
deletion of the AMP Site (``Site''), located in Glen Rock, York County, 
Pennsylvania, from the National Priorities List (``NPL''). The NPL, a 
list of sites EPA evaluates for priority cleanup of hazardous wastes, 
is found in Appendix B of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances 
Pollution Contingency Plan (``NCP''), 40 CFR part 300, Appendix B. EPA 
promulgated the NCP pursuant to section 105 of the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 
(``CERCLA'').
    EPA announces this deletion under the terms of a policy published 
in the Federal Register on March 20, 1995. In this policy EPA announced 
that, consistent with NCP criteria for deletion of sites from the NPL, 
the Agency would delete sites if corrective action was proceeding 
pursuant to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (``RCRA''). EPA 
has determined that this deferral to RCRA authorities is appropriate. 
EPA has received the following concurrence from Commonwealth of 
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection: ``The Commonwealth 
of Pennsylvania concurs in the decision to delete the site from the 
NPL, but reserves all of its rights, abilities and authorities to 
address contamination at the site and to pursue responsible parties 
regarding this contamination.''

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 2, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Frank Vavra, Remedial Project Manager, 
Superfund Branch--3HW22, 841 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, 
Pennsylvania 19107, (215) 566-3221.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Notice of Intent to Delete this Site was 
published on July 26, 1996 in the Federal Register (56 FR 39104). The 
closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was August 
26, 1996. EPA did not receive any comments on the proposed deletion.
    EPA identifies sites that appear to present a significant risk to 
public health or the environment and maintains the NPL as the list of 
those sites. Sites on the NPL may be the subject of remedial actions 
financed by the Hazardous Substances Superfund Response Trust Fund 
(Fund). Pursuant to 40 CFR 300.425(e)(3), 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 in the future. 
Deletion of a site from the NPL does not affect responsible party 
liability or impede agency efforts to recover costs associated with 
response efforts.
