National Oil and Hazardous

Substances Pollution Contingency

Plan; National Priorities List Update

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency.

ACTION: Notice of deletion of the

Southern Shipbuilding Corporation

Superfund site from the National

Priorities List.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) Region 6 announces the

deletion of the Southern Shipbuilding

Corporation Superfund Site (the ‘‘Site’’)

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

codified at Appendix B to the National

Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution

Contingency Plan (NCP), 40 CFR Part

300. EPA in consultation with the State

of Louisiana, through the Louisiana

Department of Environmental Quality

(LDEQ), has determined that no further

response is appropriate since all

federally funded actions specified in the

Record of Decision for Operable Units

One (1) and Two (2) have been

implemented. Consequently, the Site is

hereby deleted from the NPL.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 16, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Comprehensive information

on the Site has been compiled in a

public deletion docket which may be

reviewed and copied during normal

business hours at the following

Southern Shipbuilding Corporation

Superfund Site information repositories:

U.S. EPA Region 6 Library (12th Floor),

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to

be deleted from the NPL is the Southern

Shipbuilding Corporation Superfund

Site, Slidell, St. Tammany Parish,

Louisiana (EPA Site Spill No. 066Z;

CERCLIS No. LAD008149015). A Notice

of Intent to Delete (NOID) was

published on March 31, 1998 (63 FR

15346). The closing date for public

comment on the NOID was April 30,

1998. EPA received no public comments

and therefore, no Responsiveness

Summary was prepared.

The EPA identifies sites which appear

to present a significant risk to public

health, welfare, or the environment and
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 115 /Tuesday, June 16, 1998 /Rules and Regulations 32761

it maintains the NPL as the list of those

sites. As described in 40 CFR

300.425(e)(3) of the NCP, sites deleted

from the NPL remain eligible for

remedial actions in the unlikely event

that conditions at the site warrant such

action. Deletion of the site from the NPL

does not affect responsible party

liability or impede EPA efforts to

recover costs associated with response

efforts.

The Congressional Review Act, 5

U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small

Business Regulatory Enforcement

Fairness Act of 1996, does not apply

because this action is not a rule, as that

term is defined in 5 U.S.C. 804(3).

Arrangement governs the duties and

responsibilities of the Government to

provide financial and technical

assistance to these insurers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July

Federal Register, 62 FR 39908, a final

rule amending the regulations of the

National Flood Insurance Program

(NFIP) to include the revised Financial

Assistance/Subsidy Arrangement for

1997–1998 governing the duties and

obligations of insurers participating in

the Write Your Own (WYO) Program of

the National Flood Insurance Program

(NFIP). The 1997–1998 Arrangement

ends September 30, 1998. Except for the

new effective date of October 1, 1998,

the Arrangement for 1998–1999 is

unchanged from last year’s version. Any private insurance company

participating under the current 1997–

1998 Arrangement will be sent, during

July 1998, a copy of the offer for 1998–

1999 together with related materials and

submission instructions. Any private

insurance company not currently

participating in the WYO program but

wishing to consider FEMA’s

Arrangement offer for 1998–1999, may

do so by requesting a copy of the offer

by writing: Federal Emergency

Management Agency, ATTN: Federal

Insurance Administrator, WYO

Program, Washington, DC 20472.

National Environmental Policy Act

This final rule is categorically

excluded from the requirements of 44

CFR Part 10, Environmental

Consideration. No environmental

assessment has been prepared.

Executive Order 12898, Environmental

Justice

The socioeconomic conditions to this

rule were reviewed and a finding was

made that no disproportionately high

and adverse effect on minority or low

income populations would result from

this final rule.

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory

Planning and Review

This rule is not a significant

regulatory action within the meaning of

sec. 2(f) of E.O. 12866 of September 30,

1993, 58 FR 51735, and has not been

reviewed by the Office of Management

and Budget. Nevertheless, this final rule

adheres to the regulatory principles set

forth in E.O. 12866.

Paperwork Reduction Act

This rule does not contain a collection

of information and is therefore not

subject to the provisions of the

Paperwork Reduction Act.

Executive Order 12612, Federalism

This rule involves no policies that

have federalism implications under

Executive Order 12612, Federalism,

dated October 26, 1987.

Executive Order 12778, Civil Justice

Reform

This rule meets the applicable

standards of section 2(b)(2) of Executive
