ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-6848-4]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed deletion of the Palmetto Recycling Site from the 
National Priorities List (NPL).

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to delete the Palmetto Recycling Site from 
the National Priorities List (NPL) and requests public comment on this 
action. The NPL constitutes Appendix B of 40 CFR part 300 which is 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, as 
amended (CERCLA). The EPA has determined that the site poses no 
significant threat to public health or the environment and therefore, 
further response measures pursuant to CERCLA are not appropriate.
    We are publishing this rule without prior proposal because the 
Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision and anticipates no 
dissenting comments. A detailed rationale for this approval is set 
forth in the direct final rule. If no dissenting comments are received, 
no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives dissenting 
comments, the direct final action will be withdrawn and all public 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 September 
13, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be mailed to Yvonne Jones, (4WD-NSMB) 
Remedial Project Manager, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 61 
Forsyth Street, Atlanta, Georgia 30303, (404) 562-8793, Fax (404) 562-
