SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to

be deleted from the NPL is:

Spence Farm Site in Ocean County,

New Jersey.

A Notice of Intent to Delete for this

site was published October 25, 1996 (61

FR 55260). The closing date for

comments on the Notice of Intent to

Delete was November 25, 1995. EPA

received no comments and therefore has

not prepared a Responsiveness

Summary.

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. Section 300.425(e)(3)

of the NCP states that Fund-financed

actions may be taken at sites deleted

from the NPL in the unlikely event that

conditions at the site warrant such

action. Deletion of a site from the NPL

does not affect responsible party

liability or impede agency efforts to

recover costs associated with response

efforts.
