[EPA-HQ-SFUND-2002-0001; FRL-9997-64-Region 2]


National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; 
National Priorities List: Deletion of the Ellenville Scrap Iron and 
Metal Superfund Site

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule; notice of intent.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 2 is issuing 
a Notice of Intent to Delete the Ellenville Scrap Iron and Metal 
Superfund Site (Site), located in the Village of Ellenville, Town of 
Wawarsing, Ulster 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). The EPA and the State of New York, through the 
Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), have determined that 
all appropriate response actions under CERCLA, other than operation and 
maintenance, monitoring, and five-year reviews, have been completed. 
However, this deletion does not preclude future response actions under 
Superfund.

DATES: Comments must be received by September 4, 2019.

SFUND-2002-0001, by mail to Damian Duda, Remedial Project Manager, U.S.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of 
this issue of the Federal Register, we are publishing a direct final 
Notice of Deletion of the Ellenville Scrap Iron and Metal 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 the deletion 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. If there is no 
withdrawal of this Notice of Iintent 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 and Regulations'' section of this issue 
of the Federal Register.
