ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-7798-2]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the Sharon Steel Superfund Site from 
the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 8 is issuing 
a notice of intent to delete the Sharon Steel Superfund Site (Site) 
located in Midvale, Utah, from the National Priorities List (NPL) and 
requests public comments on this notice. 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, the National Oil and Hazardous 
Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and the State of 
Utah, through the Utah Department of Environmental Quality (UDEQ), have 
determined that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA, other 
than five-year reviews and operation & maintenance, have been completed 
at the Site. However, this deletion does not preclude future actions 
under Superfund if determined necessary by EPA.
    In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of today's Federal 
Register, EPA is publishing a direct final notice of deletion of the 
Sharon Steel Superfund Site without prior notice of intent to delete 
because EPA views this as a non-controversial action. EPA has explained 
its reasons for this deletion in the preamble to the direct final 
notice of 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 and deletion of the Site will 
proceed. 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 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 
within the time-frame noted below. For additional information, see the 
direct final notice of deletion, located in the ``Rules and 
Regulations'' section of this Federal Register.

DATES: Comments concerning this Site must be received on or before 
September 8, 2004.
