40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-6447-2]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of Deletion of the Tansitor Electronics, Inc. Site from 
the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region I announces 
the deletion of the Tansitor Electronics, Inc. Site from the National 
Priorities List (NPL). The NPL constitutes Appendix B (40 CFR Part 
300), to the National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency 
Plan (NCP), which EPA promulgated pursuant to Section 105 of the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, 
(CERCLA) as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization 
Act. After consultation with the State of Vermont, EPA has determined 
that the responsible parties have implemented all appropriate response 
actions required.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 29, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Terrence Connelly, Remedial Project 
Manager, U.S. EPA Region I , 1 Congress St., Suite 1100 (HBT), Boston, 
MA 02114-2023, (617) 918-1373.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is: 
Tansitor Electronics Site, Inc. Bennington, Vermont.
    A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published on August 
16, 1999, 64 FR 44456. The closing date for comments on the Notice of 
Intent to Delete was September 15, 1999. EPA received two comments 
about the amount of waste disposed at the Site and sampling of nearby 
residential wells.
    EPA identifies sites that appear to present a significant risk to 
public health, welfare, or the environment and maintains the NPL as the 
list of these sites. Sites on the NPL may be the subject of remedial 
actions financed by the Hazardous Substance Superfund Response Trust 
Fund (Fund). Pursuant to Sec. 300.425(e)(3) of the NCP, any site 
deleted from the NPL remains eligible for Fund-financed remedial 
actions if conditions at the site warrant such action. Deletion of a 
site from the NPL does not affect responsible party liability or impede 
agency efforts to recover costs associated with response efforts.
