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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the Central Wood Preserving Company 
Superfund Site from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 is issuing 
a notice of intent to delete Central Wood Preserving Company Superfund 
Site (Site) located in East Feliciana Parish, Louisiana, from the 
National Priorities List (NPL) and requests public comments on this

have been completed. However, this deletion does not preclude future 
actions under Superfund.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' Section of 
today's Federal Register, we are publishing a direct final Notice of 
Deletion of the Central Wood Preserving Superfund Site 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 Notice of Deletion, and those reasons are incorporated herein. If 
we receive no adverse comment(s) on this deletion action, 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 Notice of Deletion 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.
