[[Page 14476]]

Complex Superfund Site in Oklahoma from the National Priorities List 
(NPL). The NPL is appendix B of 40 CFR part 300, which is the National

promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental 
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended. 
This action is being taken by EPA and the State of Oklahoma, because it 
has been determined that Responsible Parties have implemented all 
appropriate response actions required. Moreover, EPA and the State of 
Oklahoma have determined that remedial actions conducted at the site to 
date remain protective of public health, welfare, and the environment.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 17, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is Sand 
Springs Petrochemical Complex located at Sand Springs, Oklahoma. A 
Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published August 2, 1999 
(64 FR 41875). The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to 
Delete was extended to October 25, 1999. EPA received no comments and, 
therefore, no Responsiveness Summary was prepared.
    The EPA identifies sites which appear to present a significant risk 
to public health, welfare, or the environment and maintains the NPL as 
the list of those sites. Deletion of a site from the NPL does not 
affect responsible party liability or impede agency efforts to recover 
costs associated with response efforts.
