AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) Region 1 announces the 

deletion of the Old Southington Landfill 

Superfund Site (Site) located in 

Southington, Connecticut, from the 

National Priorities List (NPL). 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 Connecticut, through the 

Connecticut Department of Energy and 

Environmental Protection (CTDEEP), 

have determined that all appropriate 

response actions under CERCLA, other 

than operation and maintenance, 

monitoring, and five-year reviews, have 

been completed. However, this deletion 

does not preclude future actions under 

Superfund. 

DATES: This action is effective 

September 12, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: 

Docket: EPA has established a docket 

for this action under Docket 

Identification No. EPA–HQ–SFUND–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to 

be deleted from the NPL is: the Old 

Southington Landfill Superfund Site 

located at Old Turnpike Road, 

Southington, Connecticut. A Notice of 

Intent to Delete for this Site was 

published in the Federal Register (83 

FR 34513) on July 20, 2018. 

The closing date for comments on the 

Notice of Intent to Delete was August 

20, 2018. No public comments were 

received. Therefore, a responsiveness 

summary was not prepared and not 

placed in the docket, EPA–HQ–SFUND– 

2005–0011, on www.regulations.gov, nor 

in the local repositories listed above. 

EPA still believes the deletion action is 

still appropriate. 

EPA maintains the NPL as the list of 

sites that appear to present a significant 

risk to public health, welfare, or the 

environment. Deletion from the NPL 

does not preclude further remedial 

action. Whenever there is a significant 

release from a site deleted from the NPL, 

the deleted site may be restored to the 

NPL without application of the hazard 

ranking system. Deletion of a site from 

the NPL does not affect responsible 

party liability in the unlikely event that 

future conditions warrant further 

actions.

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic 

Zone Off Alaska; Yellowfin Sole for 

Vessels Participating in the BSAI Trawl 

Limited Access Fishery in the Bering 

Sea and Aleutian Islands Management 

Area 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Temporary rule; closure. 

SUMMARY: NMFS is prohibiting directed 

fishing for yellowfin sole in the Bering 

Sea and Aleutian Islands management 

area (BSAI) for vessels participating in 

the BSAI trawl limited access fishery. 

This action is necessary to prevent 

exceeding the 2018 allocation of 

yellowfin sole total allowable catch for 

vessels participating in the BSAI trawl 

limited access fishery in the BSAI. 

DATES: Effective 1200 hrs, Alaska local 

time (A.l.t.), September 7, 2018, through 

2400 hrs, A.l.t., December 31, 2018. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Steve Whitney, 907–586–7228. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS 

manages the groundfish fishery in the 

BSAI according to the Fishery 

Management Plan for Groundfish of the 

Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands 

Management Area (FMP) prepared by 

the North Pacific Fishery Management 

Council under authority of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act. 

Regulations governing fishing by U.S. 

vessels in accordance with the FMP 

appear at subpart H of 50 CFR part 600 

and 50 CFR part 679. 

The 2018 allocation of yellowfin sole 

total allowable catch for vessels 

participating in the BSAI trawl limited 

access fishery in the BSAI is 18,351 

metric tons (mt) as established by the 

final 2018 and 2019 harvest 

specifications for groundfish in the 

BSAI (83 FR 8365, February 27, 2018). 

In accordance with § 679.20(d)(1)(iii), 

the Administrator, Alaska Region, 

NMFS (Regional Administrator), has 

determined that the 2018 allocation of 

yellowfin sole total allowable catch 

allocated as a directed fishing allowance 

for vessels participating in the BSAI 

trawl limited access fishery in the BSAI 

will soon be reached. Consequently, 

NMFS is prohibiting directed fishing for 

yellowfin sole for vessels participating 

in the BSAI trawl limited access fishery 

in the BSAI. 

While this closure remains in effect, 

the maximum retainable amounts at 

§ 679.20(e) and (f) apply at any time 

during a trip. 

Classification 

This action responds to the best 

available information recently obtained 

from the fishery. The Assistant 

Administrator for Fisheries, NOAA 

(AA), finds good cause to waive the 

requirement to provide prior notice and 

opportunity for public comment 

pursuant to the authority set forth at 5 

U.S.C. 553(b)(B) as such requirement is 

impracticable and contrary to the public 

interest. This requirement is 

impracticable and contrary to the public 

interest as it would prevent NMFS from 

responding to the most recent fisheries 

data in a timely fashion and would 

delay the closure of directed fishing for 

yellowfin sole by vessels fishing in the 

BSAI trawl limited access fishery in the 

BSAI. NMFS was unable to publish a 

notice providing time for public 

comment because the most recent, 

relevant data only became available as 

of September 6, 2018. 

The acting AA also finds good cause 

to waive the 30-day delay in the 

effective date of this action under 5 

U.S.C. 553(d)(3). This finding is based 

upon the reasons provided above for 

waiver of prior notice and opportunity 

for public comment. 

This action is required by § 679.20 

and is exempt from review under 

Executive Order 12866. 

Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq. 

Dated: September 7, 2018.
