ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-7007-2]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed deletion of the Red Penn Landfill Site from the 
National Priorities List (NPL).

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to delete the Kentucky Red Penn Landfill 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. The EPA 
has determined that the site poses no significant threat to public 
health or the environment, as defined by CERCLA, and therefore, no 
further remedial measures pursuant to CERCLA are warranted.
    We are publishing this proposal concurently with the final rule 
because the EPA does not anticipate dissenting comments on the 
deletion. A detailed rationale for the deletion is set forth in the 
direct final rule. If no dissenting comments are received, no further 
EPA 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direct final action will be withdrawn and all public comments received 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. 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 August 15, 
2001.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Femi Akindele, Project Manager, 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4, 61 Forsyth Street, SW., 
Atlanta, GA 30303. Comprehensive information on this site is available
