National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; 
National Priorities List: Deletion of the Perdido Ground Water 
Contamination Superfund Site

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule; notice of intent.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency Region 4 is issuing a 
Notice of Intent to Delete the Perdido Ground Water Contamination 
Superfund Site (Site) located in Baldwin County, Alabama, 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). The EPA and the 
State of Alabama, through the Alabama Department of Environmental 
Management (ADEM), have determined that all appropriate response 
actions under CERCLA have been completed. However, this deletion does 
not preclude future actions under Superfund.

DATES: Comments must be received by April 17, 2017.

SFUND-1983-0002, by mail to Deborah P. Cox, PE, Remedial Project

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