National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan 
National Priorities List: Deletion of the Midvale Slag Superfund Site

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule; notice of intent.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 8 is 
issuing a Notice of Intent to Delete the Midvale Slag Superfund Site 
(Site), located in Salt Lake County, Utah from the National Priorities 
List (NPL) and requests 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). The EPA and the State of Utah, through the Utah 
Department of Environmental Quality (UDEQ), 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' Section of 
this Federal Register, we are publishing a direct final Notice of 
Deletion of the Midvale Slag 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.
