          - 40 CFR Part 300 
          - [FRL-6913-1] 

# AGENCY:

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 

# ACTION:

Proposed deletion of the University of Minnesota Rosemount Research Center Superfund Site (Site) from the National Priorities List (NPL). 

      ( print page 76966)    

# SUMMARY:

The EPA proposes to delete the releases from the University of Minnesota Rosemount Research Center Superfund site (Site) from the NPL and requests public comment on this action. The NPL constitutes appendix B to Part 300 of the National and Hazardous Substances Pollution 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 has determined that the Site currently poses no significant threat to public health or the environment, as defined by CERCLA, and therefore, further remedial measures under CERCLA are not appropriate. We are publishing this proposed rule without prior notification because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision and anticipates no dissenting comments. A detailed rationale for this approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no dissenting comments are received, the deletion will become effective. If EPA receives dissenting comments, the direct final action will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any parties interested in commenting should do so at this time. 

# DATES:

Comments concerning this Action must be received by January 8, 2001.
