ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-7144-3]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed notice of intent to delete the Luke Air Force Base 
Superfund Site from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 9 is issuing 
a notice of intent to delete Luke Air Force Base (AFB) Superfund Site 
(Site) located in Glendale, Arizona 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 of the National Oil and 
Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and the 
State of Arizona through the Arizona Department of Environmental 
Quality 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 Luke 
AFB 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 March 21, 
2002.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to: Xuan-Mai Tran, 
Remedial Project Manager, U.S. EPA (SFD-8-3), 75 Hawthorne Street, San 
Francisco, CA USA 94105, 415-972-3002 or 1-800-231-3075.
