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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirements of section 122(h)(1) of 
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability 
Act, as amended (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9622(h)(1), notice is hereby 
given that the proposal to list the Smeltertown-Operable Unit 3 site on 
the National Priorities List (NPL) is amended to exclude the CoZinCo 
facility from the scope of listing under section 122(h) of CERCLA, 42 
U.S.C. 9622(h). The Smeltertown-Operable Unit 3 Site is located in 
Salida, Chaffee County, Colorado (the Site). This amendment was 
initially proposed on May 11, 2000 (65 FR 30489). CoZinCo, Inc., 
submitted comments on July 10, 2000, supporting the amendment, but 
disputing the rationale for such action. On August 14, 2000, CoZinCo, 
Inc., amended its comments, withdrawing its request for a written 
response from EPA regarding the Agency's rationale for the amendment 
for the proposed NPL listing. On August 25, 2000, CoZinCo, Inc. 
withdrew its comments in their entirety. No other comments were 
received by EPA.
