ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the Rochester Property Superfund 
Site from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: EPA Region 4 is issuing a notice of intent to delete the 
Rochester Property Superfund Site (Site) located in Travelers Rest, 
South Carolina, from the National Priorities List (NPL) and requests 
public comments on this notice of intent. 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). EPA and the 
State of South Carolina, through the South Carolina Department of 
Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC), have determined that all 
appropriate response actions under CERCLA have been completed. However, 
this deletion does not preclude future actions under Superfund.
    In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is 
approving the direct final notice of deletion of the Rochester Property 
Superfund Site without prior proposal because the Agency views this as 
a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A 
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final 
notice. If no significant, material, and adverse comments are received 
in response to this notice, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA 
receives adverse comments, the direct final notice will be withdrawn 
and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent 
final notice based on this proposed notice. The EPA will not institute 
a second comment period on this document. Any parties interested in 
commenting on this document should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments concerning this Site must be received by September 10, 
2007.
