National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan 
National Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the Kerr-McGee Reed-Keppler Park

SUMMARY: EPA, Region 5 is issuing a Notice of Intent to Delete the 
Kerr-McGee Reed-Keppler Park Superfund Site (Site) located in West 
Chicago, Illinois, from the National Priorities List (NPL) and requests 
public comments on this proposed action. The NPL, promulgated pursuant 
to Section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is an 
appendix of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution

all appropriate response actions under CERCLA 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

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.
