ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[EPA-HQ-SFUND-2003-0010; FRL-9981-25--Region 5]


National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; 
National Priorities List: Partial Deletion of the Peters Cartridge 
Factory Superfund Site

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule; notification of intent.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 5 is issuing 
a Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion of the Former Process Area 
(FPA) of the Peters Cartridge Factory Superfund Site (Peters Cartridge 
Site) located in Kings Mills, Ohio 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 Ohio, through the Ohio 
Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA), have determined that all 
appropriate response actions at the FPA under CERCLA, other than 
maintenance, monitoring and five-year reviews, have been completed. 
However, this deletion does not preclude future actions under 
Superfund.

DATES: Comments must be received by August 27, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID no. EPA-HQ-
SFUND-2003-0010, by mail to Randolph Cano, NPL Deletion Coordinator, 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 (SR-6J), 77 West Jackson 
Boulevard, Chicago, IL 60604. Comments may also be submitted 
electronically or through hand delivery/courier by following the 
detailed instructions in the ADDRESSES section of the direct final rule 
located in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal 
Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of 
today's Federal Register, we are publishing a direct final Notice of 
Partial Deletion for the FPA of the Peters Cartridge Site 
simultaneously with this Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion because 
EPA views this as a noncontroversial revision and anticipates no 
adverse comment. We have explained our reasons for this partial 
deletion in the preamble to the direct final Notice of Partial 
Deletion, and those reasons are incorporated herein. If we receive no 
adverse comment(s) on this partial deletion action, we will not take 
further action on this Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion. If we 
receive adverse comment(s), we will withdraw the direct final Notice of 
Partial Deletion and it will not take effect. We will, as appropriate, 
address all public comments in a subsequent final Notice of Partial 
Deletion based on this Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion. We will 
not institute a second comment period on this Notice of Intent for 
Partial Deletion. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at 
this time.
    For additional information, see the direct final Notice of Partial 
Deletion which is located in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of 
this Federal Register.
