ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[EPA-HQ-SFUND-2000-0006; FRL-9950-61-Region 2]

National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; 
National Priorities List: Deletion of the Jackson Steel Superfund Site

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule; notice of intent for deletion.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 2, is 
issuing this Notice of Intent to Delete (NOID) the Jackson Steel Site, 
located in the Village of Mineola, Nassau County, New York, from the 
National Priorities List (NPL) and requests public comments on this 
proposed action. The NPL, promulgated pursuant to Section 105 of the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act 
(CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is an appendix of the National Oil and 
Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan. EPA and the State of 
New York, through the New York State Department of Environmental 
Conservation (NYSDEC), have determined that other than the ongoing 
operation and maintenance of the vapor intrusion mitigation systems at 
the daycare center, periodic vapor intrusion monitoring, ensuring that 
the institutional controls are in place and effective, and five-year 
reviews, all appropriate response actions under CERCLA have been 
completed at the Site and that the soil on the Site and the groundwater 
beneath the Site no longer pose a threat to public health or the 
environment.

DATES: Comments must be received by September 12, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID no. EPA-HQ-
SFUND-2000-0006, by mail to Joel Singerman, Chief, Central New York

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' Section of 
today's Federal Register, EPA is publishing a direct final Notice of 
Deletion (NOD) of the Site without a prior NOID because EPA views this 
as a noncontroversial revision and anticipates no adverse comment. EPA 
has explained its reasons for this deletion in the preamble to the 
direct final NOD. If EPA receives no adverse comment(s) on this 
deletion action, EPA will proceed with the deletion without further 
action on this NOID. If EPA receives adverse comment(s), EPA will 
withdraw the direct final NOD, and it will not take effect. EPA will, 
as appropriate, address all public comments in a subsequent final NOD 
based on this NOID. EPA will not institute a second comment period on 
this NOID. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this 
time.
    For additional information, see the direct final NOD, which is 
located in the ``Rules'' section of this Federal Register.
