SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Agency recognizes that inorganic 

metals and metal compounds present 

unique issues and the added challenge 

of addressing the complexity of these 

issues in a consistent manner across the 

Agency’s programs. The draft metals 

framework reflects an EPA effort to 

develop cross-agency internal guidance 

for assessing metals. The overarching 

goals of the framework are to outline 

key metal-specific scientific principles 

and consistent approaches for 

conducting metals risk assessment, 

based on the best currently available 

science. Given the complexity of issues 

surrounding metals risk assessment, 

EPA commissioned recognized 

scientific experts to develop papers on 

key scientific issues related to risk 

assessment of metals. These issues 

included environmental chemistry, 

exposure, human health effects, 

ecological effects, and bioavailability 

and bioaccumulation. The draft 

framework relies heavily on these issue 

papers. Development of the framework 

has also involved extensive consultation 

with the scientific community, 

stakeholders, and intended users, 

including risk assessors in other federal 

agencies, in different regions, and in the 

states. Throughout the development 

process, the Agency has held 

stakeholder meetings and made the 

issue papers open for public comment. 

After peer review deliberation by EPA’s 

Science Advisory Board (SAB) is 

complete and the framework is 

finalized, EPA program offices will be in 

a position to review their current 

practices against the recommendations 

of the metals framework and incorporate 

adjustments as necessary, consistent 

with the principles of the framework. 

Disposition of Comments 

EPA requests comments on today’s 

framework and will consider comments 

in finalizing the document. EPA’s SAB 

will peer-review the framework and will 

be asked to consider the public 

comments. A separate notice of the 

planned SAB meeting also will appear 

in the Federal Register.

Federal Agency Hazardous Waste 

Compliance Docket

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency.

ACTION: Notice of twentieth update of 

the Federal Agency Hazardous Waste 

Compliance Docket, pursuant to 

CERCLA section 120(c). 

SUMMARY: Section 120(c) of the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended by 

the Superfund Amendments and 

Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA), 

requires the Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) to establish a Federal 

Agency Hazardous Waste Compliance 

Docket. The docket is to contain certain 

information about Federal facilities that 

manage hazardous waste or from which 

hazardous substances have been or may 

be released. (As defined by CERCLA 

section 101(22), a release is any spilling, 

leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, 

emptying, discharging, injecting, 

escaping, leaching, dumping, or 

disposing into the environment.) 

CERCLA requires that the docket be 

updated every six months, as new 

facilities are reported to EPA by Federal 

agencies. The following list identifies 

the Federal facilities to be included in 

this twentieth update of the docket and 

includes facilities not previously listed 

on the docket and reported to EPA since 

the last update of the docket, 69 FR 

42989, July 19, 2004, which was current 

as of January 19, 2004. SARA, as 

amended by the Defense Authorization 

Act of 1997, specifies that, for each 

Federal facility that is included on the 

docket during an update, evaluation 

shall be completed in accordance with 

a reasonable schedule. Such site 

evaluation activities will help determine 

whether the facility should be included 

on the National Priorities List (NPL) and 

will provide EPA and the public with 

valuable information about the facility. 

In addition to the list of additions to the 

docket, this notice includes a section 

that comprises revisions (that is, 

corrections and deletions) of the 

previous docket list. This update 

contains 8 additions and 10 deletions 

since the previous update, as well as 

numerous other corrections to the 

docket list. At the time of publication of 

this notice, the new total number of 

Federal facilities listed on the docket is 

2,291.

DATES: This list is current as of 

September 13, 2004.

1.0 Introduction 

Section 120(c) of the Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, 

Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 

(CERCLA), 42 United States Code 

(U.S.C.) 9620(c), as amended by the 

Superfund Amendments and 

Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA), 

required the establishment of the 

Federal Agency Hazardous Waste 

Compliance Docket. The docket 

contains information on Federal 

facilities that is submitted by Federal 

agencies to the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) under sections 

3005, 3010, and 3016 of the Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), 

42 U.S.C. 6925, 6930, and 6937, and 

under section 103 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 

9603. Specifically, RCRA section 3005 

establishes a permitting system for 

certain hazardous waste treatment, 

storage, and disposal (TSD) facilities; 

RCRA section 3010 requires waste 

generators and transporters and TSD 

facilities to notify EPA of their 

hazardous waste activities; and RCRA 

section 3016 requires Federal agencies 

to submit biennially to EPA an 

inventory of hazardous waste sites that 

the Federal agencies own or operate. 

CERCLA section 103(a) requires that the 

National Response Center (NRC) be 

75952 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 243 / Monday, December 20, 2004 / Notices 

notified of a release. CERCLA section 

103(c) requires reporting to EPA the 

existence of a facility at which 

hazardous substances are or have been 

stored, treated, or disposed of and the 

existence of known or suspected 

releases of hazardous substances at such 

facilities. 

The docket serves three major 

purposes: (1) To identify all Federal 

facilities that must be evaluated to 

determine whether they pose a risk to 

human health and the environment 

sufficient to warrant inclusion on the 

National Priorities List (NPL); (2) to 

compile and maintain the information 

submitted to EPA on such facilities 

under the provisions listed in section 

120(c) of CERCLA; and (3) to provide a 

mechanism to make the information 

available to the public. 

The initial list of Federal facilities to 

be included on the docket was 

published on February 12, 1988 (53 FR 

4280). Updates of the docket have been 

published on November 16, 1988 (54 FR 

46364); December 15, 1989 (54 FR 

51472); August 22, 1990 (55 FR 34492);

(68 FR 69685); and July 19, 2004 (69 FR 

42989). This notice constitutes the 

twentieth update of the docket.

Today’s notice is divided into three 

sections: (1) Additions, (2) deletions, 

and (3) corrections. The additions 

section lists newly identified facilities 

that have been reported to EPA since the 

last update and that now are being 

included on the docket. The deletions 

section lists facilities that EPA is 

deleting from the docket. The 

corrections section lists changes in 

information about facilities already 

listed on the docket. 

The information submitted to EPA on 

each Federal facility is maintained in 

the docket repository located in the EPA 

Regional office of the Region in which 

the facility is located (see 53 FR 4280 

(February 12, 1988) for a description of 

the information required under those 

provisions). Each repository contains 

the documents submitted to EPA under 

the reporting provisions and 

correspondence relevant to the reporting 

provisions for each facility. Contact the

2.0 Revisions of the Previous Docket 

Following is a discussion of the 

revisions of the previous docket, 

including additions, deletions, and 

corrections. 

2.1 Additions 

Today, 8 facilities are being added to 

the docket, primarily because of new 

information obtained by EPA (for 

example, recent reporting of a facility 

pursuant to RCRA sections 3005, 3010, 

or 3016 or CERCLA section 103). SARA, 

as amended by the Defense 

Authorization Act of 1997, specifies 

that, for each Federal facility that is 

included on the docket during an 

update, evaluation shall be completed 

in accordance with a reasonable 

schedule. 

Of the 39 facilities being added to the 

docket, none are facilities that have 

reported to the NRC the release of a 

reportable quantity (RQ) of a hazardous 

substance. Under section 103(a) of 

CERCLA, a facility is required to report 

to the NRC the release of a hazardous 

substance in a quantity that equals or 

exceeds the established RQ. Reports of 

releases received by the NRC, the U.S. 

Coast Guard (USCG), and EPA are 

transmitted electronically to the 

Transportation Systems Center at the 

U.S. Department of Transportation 

(DOT), where they become part of the 

Emergency Response Notification 

System (ERNS) database. ERNS is a 

national computer database and 

retrieval system that stores information 

on releases of oil and hazardous 

substances. Facilities being added to the 

docket and facilities already listed on 

the docket for which an ERNS report 

has been filed are identified by the 

notation ‘‘103(a)’’ in the ‘‘Reporting 

Mechanism’’ column. 

It is EPA’s policy generally not to list 

on the docket facilities that are smallquantity generators (SQG) and that have 

never generated more than 1,000 

kilograms (kg) of hazardous waste in 

any single month. If a facility has 

generated more than 1,000 kg of 

hazardous waste in any single month 

(that is, if the facility is an episodic 

generator), it will be added to the 

docket. In addition, facilities that are 

SQGs and have reported releases under 

CERCLA section 103 or hazardous waste 

activities pursuant to RCRA section 

3016 will be listed on the docket and 

will undergo site evaluation activities, 

such as a PA and, when appropriate, an 

SI. All such facilities will be listed on 

the docket, whether or not they are 

SQGs pursuant to RCRA. As a result, 

some of the facilities that EPA is adding 

to the docket today are SQGs that had 

not been listed on the docket but that 

have reported releases or hazardous 

waste activities to EPA under another 

reporting provision. 

In the process of compiling the 

documents for the Regional repositories, 

EPA identified a number of facilities 

that had previously submitted PA 

reports, SI reports, Department of 

Defense (DoD) Installation Restoration 

Program (IRP) reports, or reports under 

another Federal agency environmental 

restoration program, but do not appear 

to have notified EPA under CERCLA 

section 103. Section 120(c)(3) of 

CERCLA requires that EPA include on 

the docket, among other things, 

information submitted under section 

103. In general, section 103 requires 

persons in charge of a facility to provide 

notice of certain releases of hazardous 

substances. The reports under various 

Federal agency environmental 

restoration programs may contain 

information regarding releases of 

hazardous substances similar to that 

provided pursuant to section 103. EPA 

believes that CERCLA section 120(c) 

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 243 / Monday, December 20, 2004 / Notices 75953

authorizes the agency to include on the 

docket a facility that has provided 

information to EPA through documents 

such as a report under a Federal agency 

environmental restoration program, 

regardless of the absence of section 103 

reporting. Therefore, some of the 

facilities that EPA is adding today are 

being placed on the docket because they 

have submitted the documents 

described above that contain reports of 

releases of hazardous substances.

EPA also includes privately owned, 

government-operated (POGO) facilities 

on the docket. CERCLA section 120(c) 

requires that the docket contain 

information submitted under RCRA 

sections 3005, 3010, and 3016 and 

CERCLA section 103, all of which 

impose duties on operators as well as 

owners of facilities. In addition, other 

subsections of CERCLA section 120 refer 

to facilities ‘‘owned or operated’’ by an 

agency or other instrumentality of the 

Federal government. That terminology 

clearly includes facilities that are 

operated by the Federal government, 

even if they are not owned by it. 

Specifically, CERCLA section 120(e), 

which sets forth the duties of the 

Federal agencies after a facility has been 

listed on the NPL, refers to the Federal 

agency that ‘‘owns or operates’’ the 

facility. In addition, the primary basis 

for assigning responsibility for 

conducting PAs and SIs, as required 

when a facility is listed on the docket, 

is Executive Order 12580, which assigns 

that responsibility to the Federal agency 

having ‘‘jurisdiction, custody, or 

control’’ over a facility. An operator may 

be deemed to have jurisdiction, custody, 

or control over a facility. 

2.2 Deletions 

Today, 10 facilities are being deleted 

from the docket. When facilities are 

deleted from the docket, it is for reasons 

such as incorrect reporting of hazardous 

waste activity, change in ownership, 

and exemption as an SQG under RCRA 

(40 CFR 262.44). Facilities being deleted 

no longer will be subject to the 

requirements of CERCLA section 120(d). 

Three United States Department of 

Agriculture (USDA) sites, including two 

mine sites and one National Forest, are 

among the 10 facilities that EPA is 

deleting from the docket today. The 

Agency believes it is no longer 

appropriate to keep these sites on the 

docket because they involve certain 

mine sites which the Agency, by policy, 

generally will no longer list on the 

docket. These sites also are cleaned up 

or substantially cleaned up, and may 

have been listed on the docket due to 

mistakenly submitted RCRA Section 

3016 reports. 

Today’s USDA deletions are 

consistent with a recent EPA policy 

document. In June 2003, EPA issued a 

policy which addressed the issue of 

when so-called ‘‘mixed ownership’’

mine or mill sites, created as a result of 

the General Mining Law of 1872 (GML), 

30 U.S.C. 22 et seq., should be included 

on the published list of Federal facilities 

which have been reported to the docket. 

As a matter of policy, EPA believes that 

mixed ownership mine or mill sites 

created as a result of the GML generally 

should not be included on the 

published list of Federal facilities which 

have been reported to the Docket. Mixed 

ownership mine or mill sites are those 

located partially on private land and

partially on public land. Many mine and 

mill sites consist of both Federal and 

private land ownership and, generally 

under the GML, a person could establish 

private rights to mine certain minerals 

on Federally-owned land by staking a 

claim to the land. Once a claim is 

established and if it is maintained, the 

claimant gains rights to the beneficial 

use of the property incident to mining, 

but the fee simple title remains with the 

Federal government. A claimant may, 

through a process called ‘‘patenting,’’

buy the fee simple interest from the 

Federal government and own the 

property in its entirety. If the owner of 

patented property abandons it, the 

property does not revert to the United 

States, but remains private land. The 

effect of the GML is that thousands of 

former mine or mill sites are now 

private properties (inholdings) within 

the boundaries of Federal land managed 

as National Forests, National Parks, and 

Bureau of Land Management (BLM)-

managed lands. 

2.2.1 Terrero Mine Tailings Site 

The Terrero Mine Tailings site is a 

GML mixed ownership mine site 

located in New Mexico, and was added 

to the docket on November 10, 1993. 

The site has been cleaned up by the 

responsible party under a series of 

Administrative Orders on Consent with 

the State of New Mexico. The USDA 

Forest Service is not engaged in any 

cleanup at the site, and no longer 

manages property in the vicinity of the 

site. The site is not classified as a 

Federal facility in CERCLIS, and USDA 

deeded the roughly eight acres of USDA 

Forest Service land on the site to the 

State of New Mexico. 

The site was placed on the docket 

because of the RCRA Section 3016 

reporting of Federal agency hazardous 

waste facilities by USDA. USDA asserts 

that this RCRA 3016 report may have 

been submitted in error. USDA’s 

position is that the fact that USDA 

mistakenly submitted a RCRA 3016 

report should not necessarily result in 

listing the Terrero Mine Tailings Site on 

the docket. 

Regardless of whether it was 

appropriate to submit a RCRA 3016 

report, the Terrero Mine Tailings Site is 

being deleted from the docket because 

the site is a GML mixed ownership mine 

site that the June 2003 EPA policy was 

intended to address, and because the 

Terrero Mine Tailings Site has been 

cleaned up and USDA has no current 

involvement at the site. 

2.2.2 Rio Tinto Mine Site 

The Rio Tinto Mine site is a GML 

mixed ownership mine site located in 

Nevada, and was added to the docket on 

December 12, 1991. The site is listed on 

the docket as the Rio Tinto Copper 

Mine. The site is being cleaned up 

through a series of Administrative 

Orders on Consent between the 

responsible parties and the State of 

Nevada. The cleanup is a State-lead 

action, and the site is primarily 

privately held. USDA conducted a land 

exchange with one of the responsible 

parties to reduce the administrative 

burden on the State and Federal 

agencies involved in the cleanup. The 

land exchange also clarified 

jurisdictional concerns so that response 

actions could proceed. USDA Forest 

Service is a Natural Resources Trustee at 

the site, and the only other USDA 

involvement at the site is to maintain a 

60-foot right-of-way through the 

property. The site is not classified as a 

Federal facility in CERCLIS. 

The site was placed on the docket 

because of the RCRA Section 3016 

reporting of Federal agency hazardous 

waste facilities by USDA. USDA asserts 

that this RCRA 3016 report may have 

been submitted in error. USDA’s 

position is that the fact that USDA 

mistakenly submitted a RCRA 3016 

report should not necessarily result in 

listing the Rio Tinto Copper Mine site 

on the docket.

Regardless of whether it was 

appropriate to submit a RCRA 3016 

report, the Rio Tinto Copper Mine site 

is being deleted from the docket because 

the site is a GML mixed ownership mine 

site that the June 2003 EPA policy was 

intended to address, and because the 

Rio Tinto Copper Mine site is being 

cleaned up and USDA has little or no 

current involvement at the site. 

2.2.3 Toiyabe National Forest Site 

The Toiyabe National Forest site is 

located in several distinct and scattered 

areas across western Nevada and eastern 

California, and was added to the docket 

on December 15, 1989. The gross 

75954 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 243 / Monday, December 20, 2004 / Notices 

acreage of land within the established 

external boundaries of the Toiyabe 

National Forest is approximately 3.4 

million acres of which approximately 

3.2 million acres are under the 

jurisdiction of USDA Forest Service. A 

total of approximately 136,000 acres 

within the external boundaries of the 

Toiyabe National Forest are private land 

inholdings, not under USDA Forest 

Service jurisdiction, including the 

Leviathan Mine Site and the 

Northumberland Mine Site. Addressing 

the approximately 3.4 million-acre 

Toiyabe National Forest as a single 

Federal facility on the docket has 

created administrative and technical 

difficulties, and has caused confusion 

with the public. For example, state 

regulators have asked USDA to pinpoint 

the actual facility of concern, knowing 

that the entire 3 million-plus acre 

Toiyabe National Forest cannot be the 

source. The Toiyabe National Forest is 

approximately the size of some smaller 

states. Listing an entire State on the 

docket because of contamination from a 

few landfills or mine sites would be 

confusing, as is listing an entire national 

forest because of contamination from a 

few mine sites. Contamination causing 

concern covers only a small fraction of 

the entire external boundary of the 

Toiyabe National Forest, and 

conducting a Preliminary Assessment 

(PA) of the entire Toiyabe National 

Forest is not feasible. EPA believes, 

where appropriate, in instances where 

an entire National Forest has been listed 

as a single facility on the docket, it is 

reasonable to narrow the docket listing 

by examining the reporting mechanism 

which is the likely source for the 

original docket listing. However, this 

action does not mean that the particular 

National Forest is free, in its entirety, 

from contamination of concern. Nor 

does this action relieve USDA Forest 

Service from notification requirements 

to EPA of any site on land under the 

jurisdiction of USDA Forest Service 

where there is a release or a threatened 

release. 

The published reporting mechanism 

that lead to the listing of the entire 

Toiyabe National Forest on the docket is 

the RCRA Section 3016 reporting of 

Federal agency hazardous waste 

facilities by USDA. RCRA Section 3016 

reports were submitted for the 

Leviathan Mine site, the 

Northumberland Mine site, and the U.S. 

Marine Corps Mountain Warfare 

Training Center. 

The Leviathan Mine site is a GML 

mixed ownership mine site that is now 

primarily privately (state) owned. USDA 

asserts that the RCRA 3016 report for 

the Leviathan Mine site may have been 

in error, but regardless, submittal of a 

RCRA 3016 report should not have 

resulted in listing the entire Toiyabe 

National Forest on the docket. The 

Leviathan Mine site is being cleaned up 

by the responsible parties at the site 

under Unilateral Administrative Orders 

issued by EPA Region 9, and is not 

classified as a Federal facility in 

CERCLIS. The site is primarily owned 

by the State of California, and is 

managed by the Lohontan Regional 

Water Quality Control Board. USDA 

Forest Service has jurisdiction over less 

than 10 percent of the site, with primary 

involvement being as a Natural 

Resources Trustee. 

The Northumberland Mine site is a 

GML mixed ownership mine site that is 

now totally privately owned. USDA 

asserts that the RCRA 3016 report for 

the Northumberland Mine site may have 

been submitted in error, but regardless, 

submittal of a RCRA 3016 report should 

not have resulted in listing the entire 

Toiyabe National Forest on the docket. 

The Northumberland Mine site has been 

cleaned up and reclaimed by the mine 

operators, and has been given No 

Further Remedial Action Planned 

(NFRAP) status by EPA. The site is not 

classified as a Federal facility in 

CERCLIS, and USDA has no 

involvement at the site. 

The U.S. Marine Corps Mountain 

Warfare Training Center occupies 

46,000 acres of the Toiyabe National 

Forest and use of the land is permitted 

by letter of agreement with USDA Forest 

Service. RCRA 3016 reports have been 

filed by USDA as well as by the United 

States Department of the Interior. The 

U.S. Marine Corps Mountain Warfare 

Training Center is not a USDA facility, 

and is already listed on the docket as a 

United States Department of the Navy 

installation. 

Regardless of whether it was 

appropriate to submit the RCRA 3016 

reports for the Leviathan Mine site and 

the Northumberland Mine site, such 

reporting should not have resulted in 

listing the entire Toiyabe National 

Forest on the docket. Because the 

Leviathan Mine site and the 

Northumberland Mine site are GML 

mixed ownership mine sites that the 

June 2003 EPA policy was intended to 

address, because the two mine sites are 

cleaned up or are being cleaned up with 

no current USDA involvement at the 

mine sites, and because the U.S. Marine 

Corps Mountain Warfare Training 

Center is not a USDA facility and is 

already listed on the docket as a United 

States Department of the Navy 

installation, the Toiyabe National Forest 

is being deleted from the docket. 

2.3 Corrections 

Changes necessary to correct the 

previous docket were identified by both 

EPA and Federal agencies. The changes 

needed varied from simple changes in 

addresses or spelling to corrections of 

the recorded name and ownership of a 

facility. In addition, some changes in 

the names of facilities were made to 

establish consistency in the docket. 

Many new entries are simply 

corrections of typographical errors. For 

each facility for which a correction has 

been entered, the original entry 

(designated by an ‘‘O’’), as it appeared 

in the February 12, 1988 notice or 

subsequent updates, is shown directly 

below the corrected entry (designated by 

a ‘‘C’’) for easy comparison. 

Lewis and Clark National Forest and 

Humboldt National Forest are among 

the sites EPA is correcting on the docket 

today. Addressing entire National 

Forests as single Federal facilities on the 

docket has created administrative and 

technical difficulties, and has caused 

confusion with the public. For example, 

State regulators have asked USDA to 

pinpoint the actual facilities of concern 

for National Forests listed on the docket, 

knowing that an entire National Forest 

cannot be the source. Contamination 

causing concern usually covers only a 

small fraction of a listed National 

Forest, and conducting a PA of an entire 

National Forest is not feasible. EPA 

believes, where appropriate, in 

instances where an entire National 

Forest has been listed as a single facility 

on the docket, it is reasonable to narrow 

the docket listing by examining the 

reporting mechanism which is the likely 

source for the original docket listing. 

However, this action does not mean that 

the particular National Forest is free, in 

its entirety, from contamination of 

concern. Nor does this action relieve 

USDA Forest Service from notification 

requirements to EPA of any site on land 

under the jurisdiction of USDA Forest 

Service where there is a release or a 

threatened release. 

2.3.1 Lewis and Clark National Forest 

Lewis and Clark National Forest Site 

was added to the docket on February 12, 

1988. Located in five large areas that 

encompass five USDA Forest Service 

Ranger Districts across five distinct 

mountain ranges of Montana, the gross 

acreage within the established external 

boundaries of the Lewis and Clark 

National Forest is approximately 2.0 

million acres of which approximately 

1.9 million acres are under the 

jurisdiction of USDA Forest Service. A 

total of approximately 140,000 acres 

within the external boundaries of the 

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 243 / Monday, December 20, 2004 / Notices 75955

Lewis and Clark National Forest are 

private land inholdings, not under 

USDA Forest Service jurisdiction, 

including a portion of the Hughesville/

Block P Millsite. 

Addressing the approximately 2.0 

million-acre Lewis and Clark National 

Forest as a single Federal facility on the 

docket has created administrative and 

technical difficulties, and has caused 

confusion with the public. EPA 

believes, where appropriate, in 

instances where an entire National 

Forest has been listed as a single facility 

on the docket, it is reasonable to narrow 

the docket listing by examining the 

reporting mechanism which is the likely 

source for the original docket listing. 

The published reporting mechanism 

leading to the listing of the entire Lewis 

and Clark National Forest on the docket 

is the RCRA Section 3016 reporting of 

Federal agency hazardous waste 

facilities by USDA. RCRA Section 3016 

reports were submitted for the 

Hughesville/Block P Millsite and the 

Belt Creek Civilian Conservation Corps 

(CCC) Camp.

The Hughesville/Block P Millsite is 

an Abandoned Mine Site (AMS) that is 

a GML mixed ownership milling facility 

that was in use off and on for almost 100 

years. USDA asserts that the RCRA 3016 

report for the Hughesville/Block P 

Millsite may have been in error, but 

regardless, submittal of a RCRA 3016 

report should not have resulted in 

listing the entire Lewis and Clark 

National Forest on the docket. Because 

a portion of the mill tailings at the site 

are located on USDA Forest Service 

lands and because the releases of 

hazardous substances from the site 

affect USDA Forest Service resources, 

EPA designated USDA Forest Service as 

the lead agency for and oversight of the 

removal action at the Hughesville/Block 

P Millsite. The site is on the NPL, and 

an Engineering Evaluation/Cost 

Analysis was completed through an 

Administrative Order on Consent issued 

jointly by USDA and EPA to one 

responsible party for the contamination 

at the Hughesville/Block P Millsite. 

Earlier this year, EPA concurred with 

USDA’s proposal to exercise authority 

under CERCLA Section 106 at the 

Hughesville/Block P Millsite, and USDA 

subsequently issued a Unilateral 

Administrative Order to a responsible 

party ordering the company to conduct 

a non-time critical removal action at the 

site to further the cleanup process. 

The Belt Creek CCC Camp is on land 

under the jurisdiction of USDA Forest 

Service. The U.S. Army operated the 

CCC camp, treating fence posts and 

telephone poles, from around 1934 until 

sometime between 1939 and 1942. The 

last building was removed from the CCC 

camp by 1948, and USDA Forest Service 

completed a preliminary assessment of 

the Belt Creek CCC Camp in 1988. This 

site is currently being evaluated by 

USDA Forest Service, and additional 

sampling, analysis, and corrective 

action may be necessary, pending the 

evaluation and review by EPA. USDA’s 

position is that the fact that USDA 

submitted a RCRA 3016 report for the 

Belt Creek CCC Camp should not 

necessarily result in listing the entire 

Lewis and Clark National Forest on the 

docket. 

Regardless of whether it was 

appropriate to submit the RCRA 3016 

reports for the Hughesville/Block P 

Millsite and the Belt Creek CCC Camp, 

such reporting should not have resulted 

in listing the entire Lewis and Clark 

National Forest on the docket. Because 

the Hughesville/Block P Millsite is a 

GML mixed ownership mine site that 

the June 2003 EPA policy was intended 

to address, and because the 

Hughesville/Block P Millsite, which is 

also an NPL site, is being cleaned up 

with USDA Forest Service as lead 

agency, the docket listing for the Lewis 

and Clark National Forest is being 

corrected to narrow the listing to the 

Belt Creek CCC Camp. 

2.3.2 Humboldt National Forest 

Humboldt National Forest was added 

to the docket on December 15, 1989. 

Located in several distinct and scattered 

areas across northeastern Nevada, the 

gross acreage within the established 

external boundaries of the Humboldt 

National Forest is approximately 2.6 

million acres of which approximately 

2.5 million acres are under the 

jurisdiction of the USDA Forest Service. 

A total of approximately 139,000 acres 

within the external boundaries of the 

Humboldt National Forest are private 

land inholdings, not under USDA Forest 

Service jurisdiction, including the 

Buckskin Mine site, and the Rio Tinto 

Mine site. (The Rio Tinto Mine site is 

listed separately on the docket as the 

Rio Tinto Copper Mine and was 

previously discussed in the Section 2.2 

of this Notice.) 

Addressing the approximately 2.6 

million-acre Humboldt National Forest 

as a single Federal facility on the docket 

has created administrative and technical 

difficulties, and has caused confusion 

with the public. EPA believes, where 

appropriate, in instances where an 

entire National Forest has been listed as 

a single facility on the docket, it may 

make sense to narrow the docket listing 

by examining the reporting mechanism 

which is the likely source for the 

original docket listing. The published 

reporting mechanism that lead to the 

listing of the entire Humboldt National 

Forest on the docket is the RCRA 

Section 3016 reporting of Federal 

agency hazardous waste facilities by 

USDA. RCRA Section 3016 reports were 

submitted for the Rio Tinto Mine site 

and the Buckskin Mine site. 

The Rio Tinto Mine site is a GML 

mixed ownership mine site that is 

primarily privately held. USDA asserts 

that the RCRA 3016 report for the Rio 

Tinto Mine site may have been 

submitted in error, but regardless, 

submittal of a RCRA 3016 report should 

not have resulted in listing the entire 

Humboldt National Forest on the 

docket. The Rio Tinto Mine site is being 

cleaned up through a series of 

Administrative Orders on Consent 

between the responsible parties and the 

State of Nevada, and the cleanup is a 

State-lead action. USDA conducted a 

land exchange with one of the 

responsible parties to reduce the 

administrative burden on the State and 

Federal agencies involved in the 

cleanup. The land exchange also 

clarified jurisdictional concerns so that 

response actions could proceed. USDA 

Forest Service is a Natural Resources 

Trustee at the site, and the only other 

USDA involvement at the site is to 

maintain a 60-foot right-of-way through 

the property. The site is not classified as 

a Federal facility in CERCLIS. 

The Buckskin Mine site is GML mine 

site that is completely under the 

jurisdiction of USDA Forest service. 

USDA asserts that the RCRA 3016 report 

for the Buckskin Mine site may have 

been in error, but regardless, submittal 

of a RCRA 3016 report should not have 

resulted in listing the entire Humboldt 

National Forest on the docket. EPA is 

designating the Buckskin Mine a 

NFRAP status site, and no further 

cleanup is anticipated. 

Regardless of whether it was 

appropriate to submit the RCRA 3016 

reports for the Rio Tinto Mine site and 

the Buckskin Mine site, such reporting 

should not have resulted in listing the 

entire Humboldt National Forest on the 

docket. Because the Rio Tinto Mine site 

is a GML mixed ownership mine site 

that the June 2003 EPA policy was 

intended to address, and because the 

two mine sites are cleaned up or are 

being cleaned up with no current USDA 

involvement at the mine sites, the 

docket listing for the Humboldt National 

Forest is being corrected to narrow the 

listing to the Buckskin Mine site. 

Although the Buckskin Mine site is a 

GML site, it is not a mixed ownership 

mine site that the June 2003 EPA policy 

was intended to address. Thus, the site 

is not appropriate for deletion from the 

75956 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 243 / Monday, December 20, 2004 / Notices 

docket, the docket listing for the 

Humboldt National Forest is being 

corrected to narrow the listing to the 

Buckskin Mine site, and the site is being 

given NFRAP status by EPA. 

3.0 Process for Compiling the Updated 

Docket 

In compiling the newly reported 

facilities for the update being published 

today, EPA extracted the names, 

addresses, and identification numbers of 

facilities from four EPA databases—

ERNS, the Biennial Inventory of Federal 

Agency Hazardous Waste Activities, the 

Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Information System (RCRAInfo), and the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Information System (CERCLIS)—that 

contain information about Federal 

facilities submitted under the four 

provisions listed in CERCLA section 

120(c). 

Extensive computer checks compared 

the current docket list with the 

information obtained from the databases 

identified above to determine which 

facilities were, in fact, newly reported 

and qualified for inclusion on the 

update. In spite of the quality assurance 

efforts EPA has undertaken, Stateowned or privately owned facilities that 

are not operated by the Federal 

government may have been included. 

Such problems are caused by 

procedures historically used to report 

and track data on Federal facilities; EPA 

is working to resolve them. 

Representatives of Federal agencies are 

asked to write to EPA’s docket 

coordinator at the following address if 

revisions of this update information are 

necessary: Joshua Barber, Federal 

Agency Hazardous Waste Compliance 

Docket Coordinator, Federal Facilities 

Restoration and Reuse Office (Mail Code 

5106G), U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue 

NW., Washington, DC 20004. 

4.0 Facilities Not Included

As explained in the preamble to the 

original docket (53 FR 4280), the docket 

does not include the following 

categories of facilities (note, however, 

that any of these types of facilities may, 

when appropriate, be listed on the NPL): 

• Facilities formerly owned by a 

Federal agency and now privately 

owned will not be listed on the docket. 

However, facilities that are now owned 

by another Federal agency will remain 

on the docket and the responsibility for 

conducting PAs and SIs will rest with 

the current owner. 

• SQGs that have never produced 

more than 1,000 kg of hazardous waste 

in any single month and that have not 

reported releases under CERCLA section 

103 or hazardous waste activities under 

RCRA section 3016 will not be listed on 

the docket. 

• Facilities that are solely 

transporters, as reported under RCRA 

section 3010, will not be listed on the 

docket. 

5.0 Facility Status Reporting 

EPA has expanded the docket 

database to include information on the 

NFRAP status of listed facilities. 

Indicating NFRAP status allows easy 

identification of facilities that, after 

submitting all necessary site assessment 

information, were found to warrant no 

further involvement on the part of EPA 

at the time of the status change. 

Accordingly, the docket database 

includes the following facility status 

codes:

U = Undetermined. 

N = No further remedial action planned 

(NFRAP).

NFRAP is a term used in the 

Superfund site assessment program to 

identify facilities for which EPA has 

found that currently available 

information indicates that listing on the 

NPL is not likely and further assessment 

is not appropriate at the time. NFRAP 

status does not represent an EPA 

determination that no environmental 

threats are present at the facility or that 

no further environmental response 

action of any kind is necessary. NFRAP 

status means only that the facility does 

not appear, from the information 

available to EPA at this time, to warrant 

listing on the NPL and that, therefore, 

EPA anticipates no further involvement 

by EPA in site assessment or cleanup at 

the facility. However, additional 

CERCLA response actions by the 

Federal agency that owns or operates 

the facility, whether remedial or 

removal actions, may be necessary at a 

facility that has NFRAP status. The 

status information contained in the 

docket database is the result of Regional 

evaluation of information taken directly 

from CERCLIS. (CERCLIS is a database 

that helps EPA Headquarters and 

Regional personnel manage sites, 

programs, and projects. It contains the 

official inventory of all CERCLA (NPL 

and non-NPL) sites and supports all site 

planning and tracking functions. It also 

integrates financial data from 

preremedial, remedial, removal and 

enforcement programs.) The status 

information was taken from CERCLIS 

and sent to the Regional docket 

coordinators for review. The results of 

those reviews were incorporated into 

the status field in the docket database. 

Subsequently, an updated list of 

facilities having NFRAP status (those for 

which an ‘‘N’’ appears in the status 

field) was generated; the list of updates 

since the previous publication of the 

docket is being published today. 

Important limitations apply to the list 

of facilities that have NFRAP status. 

First, the information is accurate only as 

of September 13, 2004. Second, a 

facility’s status may change at any time 

because of any number of factors, 

including new site information or 

changing EPA policies. Finally, the list 

of facilities that have NFRAP status is 

based on Regional review of CERCLIS 

data, is provided for information 

purposes only, and should not be 

considered binding upon either the 

Federal agency responsible for the 

facility or EPA. 

The status information in the docket 

database will be reviewed and a new list 

of facilities classified as NFRAP will be 

published at each docket update. 

6.0 Information Contained on Docket 

Listing 

As discussed above, the update 

information below is divided into three 

separate sections. The first section is a 

list of new facilities that are being added 

to the docket. The second section is a 

list of facilities that are being deleted 

from the docket. The third section 

comprises corrections of information 

included on the docket. Each facility 

listed for the update has been assigned 

a code(s) that indicates a more specific 

reason(s) for the addition, deletion, or 

correction. The code key precedes the 

lists. 

SARA, as amended by the Defense 

Authorization Act of 1997, specifies 

that, for each Federal facility that is 

included on the docket during an 

update, evaluation shall be completed 

in accordance with a reasonable 

schedule. Therefore, all facilities on the 

additions list to this fifteenth docket 

update must submit a PA and, if 

warranted, an SI to EPA. The PA must 

include existing information about a site 

and its surrounding environment, 

including a thorough examination of 

human, food-chain, and environmental 

targets, potential waste sources, and 

migration pathways. From information 

in the PA or other information coming 

to EPA’s attention, EPA will determine 

whether a follow-up SI is required. An 

SI augments the data collected in a PA. 

An SI may reflect sampling and other 

field data that are used to determine 

whether further action or investigation 

is appropriate. This policy includes any 

facility for which there is a change in 

the identity of the responsible Federal 

agency. The reports should be submitted 

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 243 / Monday, December 20, 2004 / Notices 75957

to the Federal facilities coordinator in 

the appropriate EPA Regional office. 

The facilities listed in each section are 

organized by State and then grouped 

alphabetically within each State by the 

Federal agency responsible for the 

facility. Under each State heading is 

listed the name and address of the 

facility, the Federal agency responsible 

for the facility, the statutory provision(s) 

under which the facility was reported to 

EPA, and the correction code(s). 

The statutory provisions under which 

a facility reported are listed in a column 

titled ‘‘Reporting Mechanism.’’

Applicable mechanisms are listed for 

each facility: for example 3010, 3016, 

and 103(c). 

The complete list of Federal facilities 

that now make up the docket and the 

complete list of facilities classified as no 

further remedial action planned 

(NFRAP) are not being published today. 

However, the lists are available to 

interested parties and can be obtained at 

http://www.epa.gov/compliance/

cleanup/federal/index.html or by 

calling the HQ Docket Coordinator at 

(703) 603–0265. As of today, the total 

number of Federal facilities that appear 

on the docket is 2,291.

Dated: December 14, 2004.

Director, Federal Facilities Enforcement 

Office.

EXPORT-IMPORT BANK

[Public Notice 69] 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Submission for OMB 

Review: Comment Request

AGENCY: Export-Import Bank of the 

United States (Ex-Im Bank).

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Export-Import Bank, as a 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

invites the general public and other 

Federal agencies to comment on the 

proposed information collection 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995. The purpose of the survey 

is to fulfill a statutory mandate (The 

Export-Import Bank Act of 1945, as 

amended 12 U.S.C. 635) which directs 

Ex-Im Bank to report annually to the 

U.S. Congress any action taken toward 

providing export credit programs that 

are competitive with those offered by 

official foreign export credit agencies. 

The Act further stipulates that the 

annual report on competitiveness 

should include the results of a survey of 

U.S. exporters and U.S. commercial 

lending institutions which provide 

export credit to determine their 

experience in meeting financial 

competition from other countries whose 

exporters compete with U.S. exporters. 

Accordingly, Ex-Im Bank is requesting 

that the proposed survey (EIB No. 00–

02) be administered via its Web site to 

exporters and bankers that use Ex-Im 

Bank’s medium and long-term 

programs, requesting them to evaluate 

the competitiveness of Ex-Im Bank’s 

programs vis-a ́-vis foreign export credit 

agencies.

DATES: Written comments should be 

received on or before January 19, 2005, 

to be assured of consideration.

ADDRESSES: Direct all requests for 

additional information to Alan Jensen, 

Export-Import Bank of the U.S., 811 

Vermont Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 

20571, (202) 565–3767. Address all 

comments to David Rostker, Office of
