ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-6913-1]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed deletion of the University of Minnesota Rosemount 
Research Center Superfund Site (Site) from the National Priorities List 
(NPL).

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

[[Page 76966]]

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to delete the releases from the University of 
Minnesota Rosemount Research Center Superfund site (Site) from the NPL 
and requests public comment on this action. The NPL constitutes 
appendix B to Part 300 of the National 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. EPA has determined that 
the Site currently poses no significant threat to public health or the 
environment, as defined by CERCLA, and therefore, further remedial 
measures under CERCLA are not appropriate. We are publishing this 
proposed rule without prior notification 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, the deletion will become 
effective. 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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in 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. 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 January 8, 
2001.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Gladys Beard, Associate Remedial 
Project Manager, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (SR-6J), 77 W. 
Jackson, Chicago, IL 60604. Comprehensive information on this Site is 
available through the public docket which is available for viewing at
