ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-7004-4]


National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan 
National Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the Arcanum Iron & Metal Superfund 
Site from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region V is issuing 
a notice of intent to delete the Arcanum Iron & Metal Superfund Site 
(AIM Site) located in Arcanum, Twin Township, Drake County, Ohio 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 and the State of Ohio, 
through the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, have determined that 
all appropriate response actions under CERCLA 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 notice of deletion of the 
Arcanum Iron & Metal 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 deletion. If we receive no 
adverse comment(s) on this notice of intent to delete or the direct 
final notice of deletion, we will not take further action on this 
notice of intent to delete. If we receive adverse comment(s), we will 
withdraw the direct final notice 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 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 notice of 
deletion which is located in the Rules section of this Federal 
Register.

DATES: Comments concerning this Site must be received by August 1, 
2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to: Denise Battaglia, 
Community Involvement Coordinator, U.S. EPA (P-19J), 77 W. Jackson, 
Chicago, IL 60604 or fax number at, (312) 353-1155.
