Technical Amendments to Air Quality

Implementation Plan for Connecticut;

Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule; correction.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection

Agency published in the Federal

Register of Monday, October 6, 1997, a

direct final rule concerning the approval

of regulations which define reasonably

available control technology for sources

of nitrogen oxides in Connecticut.

Inadvertently, the wrong city address

was attributed to two facilities affected

by the regulations. Also in that

document, the table of EPA approved

regulations was mislabelled.

DATES: Effective on December 11, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Steven A. Rapp at (617) 565–2773, or Email at

Rapp.Steve@EPAMAIL.EPA.GOV.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EPA

published a direct final rule in the

October 6, 1997 Federal Register (62 FR

52016) adding § 52.370(c)(72) and

§ 52.385 but inadvertently included the

wrong city address for two facilities

listed under § 52.370(c)(72)(i) and

mislabelled the table of EPA approved

regulations under § 52.385. This

correction changes the address for the

two entries as well as the label of the

table.

In FR Doc. 97–26434 published on

October 6, 1997, (62 FR 52016) make the

following corrections:

§ 52.370 [Corrected]

1. On page 52020, in the third column

in § 52.370(c)(72)(i)(B), in the fourth

line, ‘‘New Haven * * *’’ should read

‘‘Bridgeport * * *’’,

2. On page 52021, in the third column

in § 52.370(c)(72)(i)(K), in the sixth line,

‘‘New Haven’’ should read

‘‘Bridgeport’’,

§ 52.385 [Corrected]

3. On pages 52022 through 52029, the

heading for the table ‘‘Table 52.384—

EPA-Approved Regulations’’ should

read ‘‘Table 52.385—EPA-Approved

Regulations’’, and

4. On page 52027, the table in

§ 52.385, under Connecticut state

citation 22a-174–22, Control of nitrogen

oxide emissions, the subentries that

begin with the dates ‘‘5/18/95’’ and ‘‘2/

14/96’’ are corrected to read as follows:

Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR

51735, October 4, 1993), this action is

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’

and, is therefore not subject to review by

the Office of Management and Budget.

In addition, this action does not impose

any enforceable duty or contain any

unfunded mandate as described in the

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995

(Pub. L. 104–4), or require prior

consultation with State officials as

specified by Executive Order 12875 (58

FR 58093, October 28, 1993), or involve

special consideration of environmental

justice related issues as required by

Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629,

February 16, 1994).

Because this action is not subject to

notice-and-comment requirements

under the Administrative Procedure Act

or any other statute, it is not subject to

the provisions of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.).

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 this rule in

today’s Federal Register. This rule is

not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5

U.S.C. 804(2).

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL–5933–2]

National Oil and Hazardous

Substances Contingency Plan;

National Priorities List Update

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency.

ACTION: Notice of partial deletion of the

Para-Chem Southern, Inc. Superfund

Site from the National Priorities List.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) announces the partial

deletion of the Para-Chem Superfund

site in Simpsonville, South Carolina

from the National Priorities List (NPL).

The portion to be deleted (Source

Control Portion of the Site) is described

below. The NPL is Appendix B of 40

CFR part 300 which is the National Oil

and Hazardous Substances Contingency

Plan (NCP), which EPA promulgated

pursuant to section 105 of the

Comprehensive Environmental

Response, Compensation, and Liability

Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended.

EPA and the State of South Carolina

have determined that all appropriate

Fund-financed responses under

CERCLA have been implemented on the

portions of the property targeted for this

partial deletion and that no further

cleanup by responsible parties is

appropriate. Moreover, EPA and the

State of South Carolina Department of

Health and Environmental Control have

determined that remedial actions

conducted on these portions of the

property at the site to date remain

protective of public health, welfare, and

the environment.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 12, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Terry L. Tanner, Remedial Project

Manager, U.S. EPA, Region 4, 61

Forsyth Street, Atlanta, GA 30303, 404/

562–8797.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site

portion to be deleted from the NPL is a

portion (Source Control Portion) of the

Para-Chem Southern, Inc. Superfund

Site, Simpsonville, South Carolina. The

Source Control Portion of soils within

one waste disposal area of the Site

consisted of the excavation of 686 tons

of drums, waste, and contaminated

soils. These materials were classified as

a hazardous waste by characteristic, and

shipped to the GSX landfill. This partial

deletion does not include all site soil

actions nor the groundwater remedial

action which will remain on the NPL. A

Notice of Intent to Delete for this site

was published in the Federal Register

on June 30, 1997 (62 FR 35115). The

closing date for comments on the Notice

of Intent to Delete was July 30, 1997.

EPA received no comments during this

period.

The EPA identifies sites which appear

to present a significant risk to public

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 Substance

Response Trust Fund (Fund) financed

remedial actions. Any site deleted from

the NPL remains eligible for fundfinanced remedial actions in the

unlikely event that conditions at the site

warrant such action. Section

300.66(c)(8) of the NCP states that fundfinanced 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 cost associated with response

efforts.
