ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-7939-6]


National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan 
National Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the Mallard Bay Landing Bulk Plant 
Superfund Site from the National Priorities List.

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

[[Page 41654]]

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 is 
publishing a notice of intent to delete the Mallard Bay Landing Bulk 
Plant Superfund Site (Site), located northeast of Grand Chenier in 
Cameron Parish, Louisiana, from the National Priorities List (NPL). 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 Louisiana, through the Louisiana 
Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ), have determined that all 
appropriate response actions under CERCLA 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 the 
Mallard Bay Landing Bulk Plant 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, it will not take 
effect, and 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 August 19, 
2005.
