ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-6965-1]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed notice of intent to delete the Gulf Coast Vacuum 
Services Superfund Site from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 is issuing 
a proposed notice of intent to delete the Gulf Coast Vacuum Services 
Superfund Site (Site) located in Vermilion Parish, Louisiana from the 
National Priorities List (NPL) and requests public comments on this 
notice of intent. The NPL, promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act 
(CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is found at appendix B of 40 CFR part 300 
of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan 
(NCP). The EPA, with the concurrence of the State of Louisiana, through 
the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ), has 
determined that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA, other 
than operation and maintenance and five-year reviews, have been 
completed. However, this deletion does not preclude future actions 
under Superfund.
    In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of today's Federal 
Register, we are publishing a direct final rule of deletion of the Gulf 
Coast Vacuum Services Superfund Site without prior notice of intent to 
delete because we view this as a noncontroversial revision and 
anticipate no adverse comment. We have explained our reasons for this 
deletion in the preamble to the direct final rule of deletion. If we 
receive no adverse comment(s) on this action, we will not take further 
action on this proposed notice of intent to delete. If we receive 
adverse comment(s), we will withdraw the direct final rule of deletion 
and it will not take effect. We will, as appropriate, address all 
public comments in a subsequent final deletion notice based on this 
proposed notice of intent to delete. We will not institute a second 
comment period on this notice of intent to delete. Any parties 
interested in commenting must do so at this time. For additional 
information, see the direct final rule of deletion which is located in 
the Rules section of this Federal Register.

DATES: Comments concerning this Site must be received by June 21, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to: Ms. Janetta Coats, 
Community Involvement Coordinator, U.S. EPA (6SF-PO), 1445 Ross Avenue,
