ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-7943-4]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the Red Oak City Landfill Superfund 
site (site) from the National Priorities List (NPL).

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

SUMMARY: The EPA, Region VII, is issuing a notice of intent to delete 
the Red Oak City Landfill Superfund site (site) located near Red Oak, 
Iowa, from the NPL and requests public comments on this notice of 
intent. The NPL, promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the 
Comprehensive Environmental

[[Page 43107]]

Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, 
is found in appendix B of 40 CFR part 300 of the National Oil and 
Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and the 
state of Iowa through the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) 
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 
Red Oak City Landfill 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 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 and it will not take effect. We will, 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 action. 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 25, 
2005.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Bob Stewart, 
Remedial Project Manager, Superfund Division, U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region VII, 901 North 5th Street, Kansas City, KS 
66101.
