ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-7016-8]


National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan, 
National Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the Sheller-Globe Corporation 
Disposal Superfund Site from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 7 is issuing 
a notice of intent to delete the Sheller-Globe Corporation Disposal 
Superfund Site (Site) located near Keokuk, Iowa, from the National 
Priorities List (NPL) and requests public comments on this notice of 
intent. The NPL, promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act 
(CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is found at appendix B of 40 CFR part 300 
which is the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution 
Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and the state of Iowa, through the Iowa 
Department of Natural Resources, have determined that all appropriate 
response actions under CERCLA, other than operation and maintenance and 
five-year reviews, have been completed. However, this deletion does not 
preclude future actions under Superfund.
    In the ``Rules and Regulations'' Section of today's Federal 
Register, we are publishing a direct final notice of deletion of 
Sheller-Globe Corporation Disposal Superfund Site without prior notice 
of intent to delete because we view this as a noncontroversial revision 
and anticipate no adverse comment. We have explained our reasons for 
this deletion in the preamble to the direct final deletion. If we 
receive no adverse comment(s) on this notice of intent to delete or the 
direct final notice of deletion, we will not take further action on 
this notice of intent to delete. If we receive adverse comment(s), we 
will withdraw the direct final notice of deletion and it will not take 
effect. We will, as appropriate, address all public comments in a 
subsequent final deletion notice based on this notice of intent to 
delete. We will not institute a second comment period on this notice of 
intent to delete. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at 
this time. For additional information, see the direct final notice of 
deletion which is located in the Rules section of this Federal 
Register.

DATES: Comments concerning this Site must be received by August 24, 
2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to: Diane Huffman, 
Community Involvement Coordinator, U.S. EPA Region 7, 901 N. 5th 
Street, Kansas City, Kansas 66101 or at (913) 551-7003 or toll free at
