40 CFR Part 300

[EPA-HQ-SFUND-2000-0003; FRL-9450-3]


National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; 
National Priorities List: Deletion of the International Smelting and 
Refining Superfund Site

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 8, is issuing 
a Notice of Intent to Delete the International Smelting and Refining 
Superfund Site (Site) located in Tooele,

[[Page 49398]]

Utah 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 Utah, through the Utah Department of 
Environmental Quality (UDEQ), have determined that all appropriate 
response actions under CERCLA, other than operation, maintenance, and 
five-year reviews, have been completed. However, this deletion does not 
preclude future actions under Superfund.

DATES: Comments must be received by September 9, 2011.

    Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID no. EPA-HQ-SFUND-
2000-0003. EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included 
in the public docket without change and may be made available online at 
http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information 
provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be 
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose 
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you 
consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through http://www.regulations.gov or e-mail. The http://www.regulations.gov Web site 
is an ``anonymous access'' system, which means EPA will not know your 
identity or contact information unless you provide it in the body of 
your comment. If you send an e-mail comment directly to EPA without 
going through http://www.regulations.gov, your e-mail address will be 
automatically captured and included as part of the comment that is 
placed in the public docket and made available on the Internet. If you 
submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you include your name 
and other contact information in the body of your comment and with any 
disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your comment due to 
technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA 
may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid 
the use of special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of 
any defects or viruses.
    Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the http://www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some 
information is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other information 
whose disclosure is restricted by statue. Certain other material, such 
as copyrighted material, will be publicly available only in the hard 
copy. Publicly available docket materials are available either 
electronically in http://www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' Section of 
today's Federal Register, we are publishing a direct final Notice of 
Deletion of International Smelting and Refining 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 it 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. 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 section of this Federal Register.
