ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-7384-1]


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 Department of 
Energy (DOE) Mound Superfund Site from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency, (EPA) Region V is issuing 
a notice of intent to delete Parcel 4 from the Department of Energy 
(DOE) Mound Superfund Site ( Mound Site) located in Miamisburg, Ohio, 
from the National Priorities List (NPL) and requests public comments on 
this notice of intent to delete. Parcel 4 is located on the southern 
border of the operational area of the Mound Superfund Site. 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 Ohio, through the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, 
have determined that the DOE has implemented all appropriate response 
actions required with respect to Parcel 4. However, this deletion does 
not preclude future actions under Superfund or relieve DOE of their 
Long-Stewardship or Operation and Maintenance responsibilities. In the 
``Rules and Regulations'' Section of today's Federal Register, we are 
publishing a direct final notice of deletion of Parcel 4 of the Mound 
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 November 1, 
2002.
