National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; 
National Priorities List: Deletion of the Monroe Auto Equipment 
(Paragould Pit) Superfund Site

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule; notice of intent.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 is issuing 
a Notice of Intent to Delete the Monroe Auto Equipment (Paragould Pit) 
Superfund Site (Site) located in Paragould, Greene County, Arkansas, 
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 Arkansas, through the Arkansas Department of Environmental 
Quality have determined that all appropriate response actions under 
CERCLA have been completed. However, this deletion does not preclude 
future actions under Superfund.

consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through http://www.regulations.gov or email. The http://www.regulations.gov Web site

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' Section of 
this Federal Register, we are publishing a direct final Notice of 
Deletion of Monroe Auto Pit 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.
