ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-8523-8]


National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan 
National Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the Industrial Waste Control 
Superfund Site from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 is issuing 
a notice of intent to delete the Industrial Waste Control Superfund 
Site located in Fort Smith, Arkansas 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, which is the National Oil 
and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and 
the State of Arkansas, through the Arkansas Department of Environmental 
Quality (ADEQ), have 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 this Federal Register, 
we are publishing a direct final notice of deletion of the Industrial 
Waste Control 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 
direct final deletion. If we receive no adverse comment(s) on 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

[[Page 6660]]

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 located 
in the Rules section of this Federal Register.

DATES: Comments concerning this Site must be received by March 6, 2008.

    Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-SFUND-

included in the public docket without change and may be made available 
online at http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal 
information provided, unless the comment includes information claimed 
to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information, 
disclosure of which is restricted by statute. Do not submit information 
that you consider to be CBI or otherwise protected. The http://www.regulations.gov Web site is an ``anonymous access'' system, which 
means EPA will not know your identity or contact information unless you 
provide it in the body of your comment. If you send an e-mail comment 
directly to EPA without going through http://www.regulations.gov, your 
e-mail address will automatically be captured and included as part of 
the comment that is placed in the public docket and made available on 
the Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that 
you include your name and other contact information in the body of your 
comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your 
comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for 
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic 
files should avoid the use of special characters, any form of 
encryption and be free of any defects or viruses.
    Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the http://www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some 
information is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other information 
disclosure of which is restricted by statute. Certain other material, 
such as copyrighted material, will be publicly available only in hard 
copy. Publicly available docket materials are available either 
electronically at http://www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at the
