ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-8186-6]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the Dixie Oil Processors, Inc. 
Superfund Site from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 
6 is issuing a notice of intent to delete the Dixie Oil Processors, 
Inc. Superfund Site (Site), located in Friendswood, Texas, 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 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 Texas, through the 
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), have determined that 
all appropriate response actions under CERCLA, other than operation and 
maintenance and five-year reviews, 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 
Dixie Oil Processors, Inc. 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 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 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 July 24, 2006.
