1980, as amended, is an appendix of the National Oil and Hazardous 
Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and the State of 
Tennessee, through the Tennessee Department of Environment and 
Conservation, have determined that all appropriate response actions 
under CERCLA, other than Five Year Reviews, have been completed. 
However, this deletion does not preclude future actions under 
Superfund.

DATES: This action is effective August 16, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is: 
Tennessee Products, Chattanooga, Tennessee. A Notice of Intent to 
Delete for this Site was published in the Federal Register (84 FR 
20073) on May 8, 2019.
    The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was 
June 7, 2019. No public comments were received.
    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.
