ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-7144-7]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of intent to delete a portion of the Joslyn 
Manufacturing and Supply Superfund Site from the National Priorities 
List.

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

SUMMARY: The United States Environmental Protection Agency, (EPA) 
Region V is issuing a notice of intent to delete a portion of the 
Joslyn Manufacturing and Supply Superfund Site (Site) located in 
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, from the National Priorities List (NPL) and 
requests public comments on this notice of intent to delete. 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 Minnesota, through the Minnesota Pollution Agency, have 
determined that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA 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 a portion of the Joslyn Manufacturing and Supply Superfund Site 
without prior notice of intent to delete because we view this as a non-
controversial revision and anticipate no adverse comment. We have 
explained our reasons for this deletion in the preamble to the direct 
final notice of deletion. If we receive no adverse comment(s) on the 
direct final notice of deletion, we will not take further action. If we 
receive timely 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 adverse comments received 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 March 21, 
2002.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to: Dave Novak, 
Community Involvement Coordinator, U.S. EPA (P-19J), 77 W. Jackson, 
Chicago, IL 60604, 312-886-7478 or 1-800-621-8431.
