by the State and subject to State law.

Second, the Act also generally excludes

from the definition of a ‘‘Federal

mandate’’ duties that arise from

participation in a voluntary Federal

program. West Virginia’s participation

in an authorized UST program is

voluntary.

Even if today’s rule did contain a

Federal mandate, this rule will not

result in annual expenditures of $100

million or more for State, local, and/or

tribal governments in the aggregate, or

the private sector. Costs to State, local

and/or tribal governments already exist

under the West Virginia program, and

today’s action does not impose any

additional obligations on regulated

entities. In fact, EPA’s approval of state

programs generally may reduce, not

increase, compliance costs for the

private sector.

The requirements of section 203 of

UMRA also do not apply to today’s

action. Before EPA establishes any

regulatory requirements that may

significantly or uniquely affect small

governments, section 203 of the UMRA

requires EPA to develop a small

government agency plan. This rule

contains no regulatory requirements that

might significantly or uniquely affect

small governments. The Agency

recognizes that although small

governments may own and/or operate

USTs, they are already subject to the

regulatory requirements under existing

state law which are being authorized by

EPA, and, thus, are not subject to any

additional significant or unique

requirements by virtue of this program

approval.

Certification Under the Regulatory

Flexibility Act

EPA has determined that this

authorization will not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities. Such small

entities which own and/or operate USTs

are already subject to the regulatory

requirements under existing State law

which are being authorized by EPA.

EPA’s authorization does not impose

any additional burdens on these small

entities. This is because EPA’s

authorization would simply result in an

administrative change, rather than a

change in the substantive requirements

imposed on these small entities.

Therefore, EPA provides the following

certification under the Regulatory

Flexibility Act, as amended by the

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement

Fairness Act. Pursuant to the provision

at 5 U.S.C. 605(b), I hereby certify that

this authorization will not have a

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities.

This authorization approves regulatory

requirements under existing State law to

which small entities are already subject.

It does not impose any new burdens on

small entities. This rule, therefore, does

not require a regulatory flexibility

analysis.

Submission to Congress and the General

Accounting Office

Under 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A) as added

by the Small Business Regulatory

Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, EPA

submitted a report containing this rule

and other required information to the

U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of

Representatives and the Comptroller

General of the General Accounting

Office prior to publication of the rule in

today’s Federal Register. This rule is

not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5

U.S.C. 804(2).

National Oil and Hazardous

Substances Pollution Contingency

Plan; National Priorities List Update

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency.

ACTION: Notice of deletion of the

Spokane Junkyard and Associated

Properties site from the National

Priorities List.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) Region 10 announces the

deletion of the Spokane Junkyard and

Associated Properties Site from the

National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL

constitutes Appendix B of 40 CFR part

300 which is the National Oil and

Hazardous Substances Pollution

Contingency Plan (NCP), which EPA

promulgated pursuant to section 105 of

the Comprehensive Environmental

Response, Compensation, and Liability

Act of 1980, as amended (CERCLA).

EPA and the State of Washington

Department of Ecology (Ecology) have

determined that no further cleanup

under CERCLA is appropriate and that

the selected remedy has been protective

of human health and the environment.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 23, 1997.

Kevin Rochlin, U.S. EPA Region 10,

1200 Sixth Avenue, Mail Stop: ECL–

111, Seattle, Washington 98101, (206)

553–2106.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to

be deleted from the NPL is: Spokane

Junkyard and Associated Properties,

Spokane, Washington.

A Notice of Intent to Delete for this

site was published on August 7, 1997,

(62 FR 42414). The closing date for

comments on the Notice of Intent to

Delete was September 7, 1997. EPA

received no comments.

EPA identifies sites which appear to

present a significant risk to human

health, welfare or the environment, and

it maintains the NPL as the list of those

sites. Sites on the NPL may be the

subject of Hazardous Substances

Response Trust Fund-financed remedial

actions. Any site deleted from the NPL

remains eligible for Fund-financed

remedial actions in the unlikely event

that conditions at the site warrant such

action. Section 300.425 of the NCP

states that Fund-financed actions may

be taken at sites deleted from the NPL.

Deletion of a site from the NPL does not

affect responsible party liability or

impede Agency efforts to recover costs

associated with response efforts.
