ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[EPA-HQ-SFUND-2000-0003; FRL-9465-4]

National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; 
National Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Withdrawal of proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: On July 29, 2011, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 
published a Notice of Intent to Delete and a Direct Notice of Deletion 
for the Palmer Barge Line (PBL) Superfund Site from the National 
Priorities List. The EPA is withdrawing the Notice of Intent to Delete 
because the deletion notices were published in the Federal Register 
without Headquarter's concurrence as required under the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act Delegation of 
Authority. After appropriate Headquarters concurrence is received on 
the Notice of Intent to Delete the PBL Superfund Site from the National 
Priorities List, the EPA will re-publish a Notice of Intent to Delete 
in the Federal Register.

DATES: The proposed rule published on July 29, 2011, (76 FR 45484) is 
withdrawn as of September 16, 2011.
