ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-6525-2]


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

AGENCY:  Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION:  Proposed deletion of the Renora, Inc., Superfund Site from the 
National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY:  The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to delete 
the Renora, Inc., Superfund Site which is located in the Edison 
Township, Middlesex County, New Jersey from the National Priorities 
List (NPL) and requests public comment on this action. The NPL 
constitutes appendix B of 40 CFR part 300, the National Oil and 
Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), which EPA 
promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental 
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) as amended. 
The EPA and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection have 
determined that the Site poses no significant threat to public health 
or the environment, as defined by CERCLA; and therefore, further 
remedial measures pursuant to CERCLA are not appropriate.
    We are publishing this without prior proposal notice, because the 
Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision and anticipates no 
significant adverse or critical comments. A detailed rationale for this 
approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no signifcant 
adverse or critical comments are received, no further activity is 
contemplated. If EPA receives significant adverse or critical comments, 
the direct final action will be withdrawn and all public comments 
received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this 
proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any 
parties interested in commenting should do so at this time.

DATES:  Comments concerning this action must be received by February 
18, 2000.

ADDRESSES:  Comments should be submitted to: Grisell V. Diaz-Cotto, 
Remedial Project Manager, Emergency and Remedial Response Division, 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region II, 290 Broadway, 19th 
Floor, New York, New York 10007-1866.
