National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan;

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of deletion of the Kassauf-Kimerling Battery Disposal

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 4 announces 
the deletion of the Kassauf-Kimerling Battery Disposal Superfund Site 
from the National Priorities List (NPL). 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

[[Page 58657]]

Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended. 
EPA and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) have 
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.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 2, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Comprehensive information on this site is available through 
the EPA Region 4 public docket, which is available for viewing at the 
information repositories at two locations. Locations, contacts, phone

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA announces the deletion of the Kassauf-
Kimerling Battery Disposal Superfund Site in Tampa, Hillsborough 
County, Florida from the NPL, which constitutes appendix B of 40 CFR 
part 300. EPA published a Notice of Intent to Delete the Kassauf-
Kimerling Battery Disposal Superfund Site from the NPL on August 5, 
1999 in the Federal Register (64 FR 42630). EPA received no comments on 
the proposed deletion; therefore, no responsiveness summary is 
necessary for this Notice of Deletion.
    EPA identifies sites on the NPL that appear to present a 
significant risk to public health, welfare, or the environment. 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) 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 
the responsible party liability or impede agency efforts to recover 
costs associated with response efforts.
