ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-7003-5]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region VIII proposes 
to delete the residential soil portions of the Jacobs Smelter Superfund 
Site, Utah, known as Operable Unit One (OU1), from the National 
Priorities List and requests public comment on this action. The NPL 
constitutes Appendix B to the National Oil and Hazardous Substances 
Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), 40 CFR Part 300, which EPA 
promulgated pursuant to Section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental 
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). This action is 
being taken because EPA, with concurrence from the Utah Department of 
Environmental Quality (UDEQ), has determined that all appropriate 
response actions have been taken and that no further response at OU1 is 
appropriate.
    A detailed rationale for this Proposal to Delete is set forth in 
the direct final rule which can be found in the Rules and Regulations 
section of this Federal Register. The direct final rule is being 
published because EPA views this deletion action as a noncontroversial 
revision and anticipates no significant adverse or critical comments. 
If no significant adverse or critical comments are received, no further 
activity is contemplated. If EPA receives significant adverse or 
critical comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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 EPA on or 
before August 6, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to: Mr. Jim Christiansen, Remedial 
Project Manager, U.S. EPA Region VIII, EPR-SR, 999 18th Street, Suite 
300, Denver, CO 80202, (303) 312-6748. Email: [email protected].

Smelter Site as well as information specific to this proposed partial 
deletion is available for review at EPA's Region VIII office in Denver,
