National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan 
National Priorities List: Deletion of the Pasley Solvents & Chemicals, 
Inc. Superfund Site

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA, Region 2, is issuing a Notice of Intent to Delete the 
Pasley Solvents & Chemicals, Inc Superfund Site (Site) located in the 
Town of Hempstead, Nassau County, New York, 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 Contingency Plan (NCP). EPA and the 
State of New York, through the Department of Environmental Conservation 
(NYSDEC), have determined that all appropriate response actions under 
CERCLA have been completed. However, this deletion does not preclude 
future actions under Superfund.

adverse comment(s) on this Notice of Intent to Delete or the direct 
final Notice of Deletion, 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

subsequent final Deletion Notice 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.

Deletion, which is located in the ``Rules'' section of this Federal
