2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to 

be deleted from the NPL is: Sola Optical 

USA, Inc. Superfund Site, Petaluma, 

California. A Notice of Intent to Delete 

for this Site was published in the 

Federal Register on July 24, 2013. 

The closing date for comments on the 

Notice of Intent to Delete was August 

23, 2013. One set of public comments 

containing 15 comments was received, 

inquiring about the technical details of 

EPA’s site investigation and 

remediation. EPA explained its 

technical rationale for all the questions 

raised, demonstrating that its 

investigation, remediation, and 

monitoring thereof justify the deletion 

of the Site. A responsiveness summary 

was prepared and placed in both the 

docket, EPA–HQ–SFUND–1990–0010, 

on www.regulations.gov, and in the 

local repositories listed above. 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

GSA published a proposed rule in the 

Federal Register on October 23, 2012, 

(77 FR 64791). The proposed rule 

recommended the removal of the 

conference lodging allowance option 

from the FTR. While the proposed rule 

indicated the conference lodging 

allowance allows travelers to exceed the 

lodging rate by up to 25 percent when 

the conference is sponsored by a Federal 

agency, this allowance also can apply to
