ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL–5884–9]

National Oil and Hazardous

Substances Pollution Contingency

Plan; National Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of partial deletion of the

Unit Structure Property from the

Koppers Company, Inc., superfund site,

Morrisville, Wake County, North

Carolina, from the national priorities

list.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) Region 4 announces the

deletion of the Unit Structure Property

portion of the Koppers Company, Inc.

Superfund Site from the National

Priorities List (NPL), (Appendix B of 40

CFR part 300 which is the National Oil

and Hazardous Substances Pollution

Contingency Plan (NCP)). EPA and the

State of North Carolina Department of

Environment, Health and Natural

Resources have determined that the

Unit Structure Property poses no

significant threat to public health or the

environment and, therefore, under the

Comprehensive Environmental

Response, Compensation, and Liability

Act (CERCLA) remedial measures are

not appropriate. This deletion does not

preclude future action under Superfund.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 1, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Please contact Beverly T. Hudson,

Remedial Project Manager, U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency,

Region 4, North Site Management

Branch, 61 Forsyth Street, S.W., Atlanta,

Georgia 30303–3014, (404) 562–8816 or

1–800–435–9233.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Site

affected by this partial deletion from the

NPL is: Koppers Company, Inc.

Superfund Site, Wake County,

Morrisville, North Carolina.

A Notice of Intent to Delete for this

Site was published on June 23, 1997 at

62 FR 33787. The closing date for

comments on the Notice of Intent to

Delete was July 23, 1997. EPA received

no written comments, and only one by

telephone which supported the partial

deletion action.

EPA identifies sites that appear to

present a significant risk to the public

health, welfare and the environment

and it maintains the NPL as the list of

those sites. Any site or portion thereof

deleted from the NPL remains eligible

for Fund-financed remedial actions in

the future. Section 300.425(e)(3) 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.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS

COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 90

[PR No. 89–552; FCC 97–225]

Use of the 220–222 MHz Band by the

Private Land Mobile Radio Service

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: In this Fourth Report and

Order, the Commission repeals the ‘‘40-

mile rule’’ for all nationwide and nonnationwide Phase I 220 MHz Service

licensees. The 40-mile rule provides

that no Phase I 220 MHz licensee may

be authorized to operate a station in a

particular service category within 40

miles of an existing system authorized

to that licensee in the same category

unless ‘‘the licensee can demonstrate

that the additional system is justified on

the basis of its communications

requirements.’’ This action is needed

because the 40-mile rule no longer

serves its original purpose and repeal of

the rule is expected to promote

competition among all commercial

mobile radio service providers.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 2, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eli

Johnson, 202–418–1310.
