ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-7238-3]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the Hopkins Farm Superfund Site from 
the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 2, is 
issuing a Notice of Intent to Delete the Hopkins Farm Superfund Site 
(Site), located in Plumsted Township, Ocean County, New Jersey, from 
the National Priorities List (NPL) and requests public comment on this 
Notice of Intent.
    The NPL is appendix B of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances 
Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), 40 CFR part 300, which EPA 
promulgated

[[Page 43579]]

pursuant to section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended. The EPA 
and the State of New Jersey, through the New Jersey Department of 
Environmental Protection, have determined that all responsible parties 
or other parties have implemented appropriate response actions and no 
further actions are required.
    In the ``Rules and Regulations'' Section of today's Federal 
Register, EPA is publishing a Direct Final Notice of Deletion of the 
Hopkins Farm Superfund Site without prior notice because EPA views this 
as a noncontroversial revision and anticipates no significant adverse 
comment. EPA has explained our reasons for this deletion in the 
preamble to the Direct Final Deletion. If EPA receives no significant 
adverse comment(s) on the Direct Final Notice of Deletion, EPA will not 
take further action on this Notice of Intent to Delete. If EPA receives 
significant adverse comment(s), EPA will withdraw the Direct Final 
Notice of Deletion and it will not take effect. EPA will, as 
appropriate, address all public comments. If, after evaluating public 
comments, EPA decides to proceed with deletion, EPA will do so in a 
subsequent Final Deletion Notice based on this Notice of Intent to 
Delete. EPA 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 July 29, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to: Trevor Anderson, 
Remedial Project Manager, Emergency and Remedial Response Division, 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 2, 290 Broadway, 19th
