SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 3 announces 
the deletion of the Recticon/Allied Steel Corp Superfund Site (Site) 
located in East Coventry Twp, PA, from the National Priorities List

Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and the 
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, through the Pennsylvania Department of 
Environmental Protection, have determined that all appropriate response 
actions under CERCLA, have been completed. However, this deletion does 
not preclude future actions under Superfund.

DATES: This action is effective September 14, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is: 
Recticon/Allied Steel Corp Superfund Site, East Coventry Twp, PA. A 
Notice of Intent to Delete for this Site was published in the Federal 
Register (83 FR 33186-33191) on July 17, 2018.
    The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was 
August 16, 2018. No adverse or site-specific public comments were 
received. As a result, a responsiveness summary was not prepared.
    EPA maintains the NPL as the list of sites that appear to present a 
significant risk to public health, welfare, or the environment. 
Deletion from the NPL does not preclude further remedial action. 
Whenever there is a significant release from a site deleted from the 
NPL, the deleted site may be restored to the NPL without application of 
the hazard ranking system. Deletion of a site from the NPL does not 
affect responsible party liability in the unlikely event that future 
conditions warrant further actions.
