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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of deletion of the Cedartown Industries, Inc. Superfund 
site from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA announces the deletion of the Cedartown Industries, 
Inc. Site in Cedartown, Polk County, Georgia from the National 
Priorities List (NPL). The NPL constitutes 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 
of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended. EPA and the State of Georgia have 
determined that the Site poses no significant threat to public health 
or the environment and, therefore, no further remedial measures 
pursuant to CERCLA are appropriate.

DATES: Effective Date: This rule will be effective September 19, 2006.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket 
Identification No. EPA-R04-SFUND-2006-0385. All documents in the docket

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is: 
Cedartown Industries, Inc., Cedartown, Polk County, Georgia. A Notice 
of Intent to Delete for this Site was published in the Federal Register 
on May 26, 2006. (Document ID EPA--FRDOC--0001-1161).
    The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was 
June 25, 2006. No comments were received; therefore, EPA has not 
prepared a Responsiveness Summary. EPA identifies sites that appear to 
present a significant risk to public health, welfare, or the 
environment and it maintains the NPL as the list of those sites. Any 
site deleted from the NPL remains eligible for Fund-financed remedial 
actions in the unlikely event that conditions at the site warrant such 
action. Section 300.425(e)(3) of the NCP states that Fund-financed 
actions may be taken at sites deleted from the NPL. Deletion of a site 
from the NPL does not affect responsible party liability or impede 
agency efforts to recover costs associated with response efforts.
