40 CFR Part 300

[EPA-HQ-SFUND-2009-0654; FRL-9146-7]


National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan 
National Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 2 is issuing 
a Notice of Intent to Delete the Asbestos Dump Superfund Site (Site) 
located in Meyersville, New Jersey, 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 found at 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 New Jersey, through the New Jersey Department of Environmental 
Protection (NJDEP), have determined that all appropriate response 
actions under CERCLA, other than operation, maintenance, and five-year 
reviews, have been completed. However, this deletion does not preclude 
future actions under Superfund.

    Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID no. EPA-HQ-SFUND-
2009-0654. EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included 
in the public docket without change and may be made available online at 
http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information 
provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be 
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose 
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you 
consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through http://www.regulations.gov or e-mail. The http://www.regulations.gov Web site 
is an ``anonymous access'' system, which means EPA will not know your 
identity or contact information unless you provide it in the body of 
your comment. If you send an e-mail comment directly to EPA without 
going through http://www.regulations.gov, your e-mail address will be 
automatically captured and included as part of the comment that is 
placed in the public docket and made available on the Internet. If you 
submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you include your name 
and other contact information in the body of your comment and with any 
disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your comment due to 
technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA 
may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid 
the use of special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of 
any defects or viruses.
    Docket:
    All documents in the docket are listed in the http://www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    In the ``Rules and Regulations'' Section of today's Federal 
Register, we are publishing a direct final Notice of Deletion of the 
Asbestos Dump 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.
