ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-7802-7]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of intent to partially delete the Davenport and 
Flagstaff Smelters Superfund Site from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 8 is issuing 
a notice of intent to partially delete the Davenport and Flagstaff 
Smelters Superfund Site (Site), located in Salt Lake County, Utah, from 
the National Priorities List (NPL) and requests public comments on this 
notice of intent. Specifically, EPA intends to delete 23 residential 
properties within the Site. The NPL constitutes Appendix B to the 
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), 
40 CFR part 300, which EPA promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act 
(CERCLA)of 1980 as amended. The EPA and the state of Utah, through the 
Utah Department of Environmental Quality, have determined that all 
appropriate response actions under CERCLA have been completed for the 
properties subject to the partial deletion. However, this partial 
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 partial deletion 
of the Davenport and Flagstaff Smelters Superfund Site without prior 
notice of intent to partially delete because we view this as a non-
controversial revision and anticipate no adverse comment. We have 
explained our reasons for this partial deletion in the preamble to the

[[Page 51624]]

direct final partial deletion. If we receive no adverse comment(s) on 
this notice of intent to partially delete or the direct final notice of 
partial deletion, we will not take further action on this notice of 
intent to partially delete. If we receive adverse comment(s), we will 
withdraw the direct final notice of partial deletion and it will not 
take effect. We will, as appropriate, address all public comments in a 
subsequent final partial deletion notice based on this notice of intent 
to partially delete. We will not institute a second comment period on 
this notice of intent to partially delete. Any parties interested in 
commenting must do so at this time. For additional information, see the 
direct final notice of partial deletion that is located in the ``Rules 
and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register.

DATES: Comments concerning this notice must be received by September 
20, 2004.
