Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 130 /Wednesday, July 8, 1998 /Rules and Regulations 36861

The action taken herein does not

express or imply any viewpoint on the

question of whether there are legal

deficiencies in this or any other Clean

Air Act program resulting from the

effect of Montana’s audit privilege and

penalty immunity law. A State audit

privilege and penalty immunity law can

affect only State enforcement and

cannot have any impact on Federal

enforcement authorities. EPA may at

any time invoke its authority under the

Clean Air Act, including, for example,

sections 113, 114, 167, 205, 211, or 213,

to enforce the requirements or

prohibitions of the State Plan,

independently of any State enforcement

effort. In addition, citizen enforcement

under section 304 of the Clean Air Act

is likewise unaffected by a State audit

privilege and penalty immunity law.

F. Petitions for Judicial Review

Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean

Air Act, petitions for judicial review of

this action must be filed in the United

States Court of Appeals for the

appropriate circuit by September 8

1998. Filing a petition for

reconsideration by the Administrator of

this final rule does not affect the finality

of this rule for the purposes of judicial

review nor does it extend the time

within which a petition for judicial

review must be filed, and shall not

postpone the effectiveness of such rule

or action. This action may not be

challenged later in proceedings to

enforce its requirements (see section

307(b)(2)).

National Oil and Hazardous

Substances Contingency Plan;

National Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency.

ACTION: Notice of partial deletion of the

Hanford 100-Area (USDOE) Superfund

site from the National Priorities List.

SUMMARY: The United States

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

Region 10 announces the deletion of

portions of the Hanford 100-Area

(USDOE) Superfund Site. The portions

deleted are waste areas located in the

100–IU–1 and 100–IU–3 Operable Units.

The 100–IU–1 and IU–3 Operable Units

are part of the Hanford 100 Area NPL

Site located at the U.S. Department of

Energy (DOE) Hanford Site, located in

southeastern Washington State. The

NPL constitutes Appendix B of 40 CFR

part 300 which is the National Oil and

Hazardous Substances Pollution

Contingency Plan (NCP), which EPA

promulgated pursuant to section 105 of

the Comprehensive Environmental

Response, Compensation, and Liability

Act (CERCLA). This partial deletion

pertains to all known waste areas

located in the 100–IU–1 and 100–IU–3

Operable Units. EPA and the

Washington State Department of

Ecology have determined that no further

cleanup under CERCLA is required and

that the selected remedy has been

protective of public health, welfare, and

the environment.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 8, 1998.

Dennis Faulk, Superfund Site Manager,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

partial deletion of the Hanford 100-Area

(USDOE) NPL Site applies specifically

to the 100–IU–1 and 100–IU–3 Operable

Unit waste areas located at the U.S.

Department of Energy (DOE) Hanford

Site, located in southeastern

Washington State. The waste areas in

the 100–IU–1 and 100–IU–3 Operable

Units were cleaned up by the DOE

between 1992 and 1994 using expedited

response actions (ERA). At the Hanford

Site, the term ERA is used to describe

actions taken under CERCLA removal

authority as described in 40 CFR

300.415. In February 1996, a no further

action record of decision was signed

documenting that previous ERA’s had

removed all contaminants from the

waste areas in the 100–IU–1 and 100–

IU–3 Operable Units to below cleanup

levels for residential use established

under the Washington State Model

Toxics Control Act (MTCA). It should be

noted, cleanup activities are continuing

at other operable units of the Hanford

100 Area NPL Site.

This partial deletion is in accordance

with 40 CFR 300.425(e) and the Notice

of Policy Change: Partial Deletion of

Sites Listed on the National Priorities

List, (60 FR 55466 (Nov. 1, 1995)).

A Notice of Intent to Delete for Partial

Deletion was published on May 22,

1998 (63 FR 28317). The closing date for

comments on the Notice of Intent to

Delete was June 20, 1998. EPA received

no comments.

EPA identifies sites on the NPL that

appear to present a significant risk to

human health or the environment. As

described in § 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

waste areas from the NPL does not itself

create, alter, or revoke any individual

AGENCY: Research and Special Programs

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY: On March 17, 1998, RSPA

published a final rule in the Federal

Register (63 FR 12998) titled ‘‘Drug and

Alcohol Testing; Substance Abuse

Professional Evaluation for Drug Use.’’

This final rule modified procedures in

its drug testing regulations by requiring

a face-to-face evaluation by substance

abuse professionals (SAP) for pipeline

employees who have either received a

positive drug test or have refused a drug

test required by RSPA. It also revised

the word ‘‘employee’’ to ‘‘covered

employee’’ and added the definition of

‘‘covered function.’’ This document

makes minor corrections to restore text

that was in the original version of the

regulations, but was inadvertently left

out of the Final Rule.

DATES: Effective on July 8, 1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Correction of Publication

When RSPA published the final rule

in the Federal Register, it inadvertently

left out text that was stated in the

original version of the regulations. This

text was in the original version of the

regulations and was inadvertently left

out of the final rule text, so RSPA does

not need further rulemaking action to

correct the text. This final rule corrects

the text. RSPA regrets any confusion the

omission may have caused.

Accordingly, the publication on March

17, 1998, of the final rule, Federal

Register Doc. 98–6859 (63 FR 12998), is

corrected as follows:

§ 199.7 [Corrected]

1. On page 13000, in the second

column, add amendatory instruction 2a

and an amendment to § 199.79(a)(3) to

read as follows:
