ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-7945-8]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the North Sea Municipal Landfill 
Superfund Site from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 2 is issuing 
this notice of intent to delete the North Sea Municipal Landfill 
Superfund Site (Site), located in Southampton, New York from the 
National Priorities List (NPL) and requests public comment on this 
action. The NPL is Appendix B of 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 New York State Department of Environmental 
Conservation, have determined that responsible parties have implemented 
all appropriate response actions required. In the ``Rules and 
Regulations'' Section of today's Federal Register, we are publishing a 
direct final deletion of the North Sea Municipal Landfill Superfund 
Site without prior notice of this action because we view this as a 
noncontroversial revision and anticipate no significant adverse 
comment. We have explained our reasons for this deletion in the 
preamble to the direct final deletion. If we receive no significant 
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 significant 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. If, after evaluating public comments, EPA decides to proceed 
with deletion, we will do so 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.

2005.
