AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the Kerr-McGee Reed-Keppler Park 
Superfund Site from the National Priorities List.

SUMMARY: EPA, Region 5 is issuing a Notice of Intent to Delete the 
Kerr-McGee Reed-Keppler Park Superfund Site (Site) located in West 
Chicago, Illinois, 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

Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA), have determined that 
all appropriate response actions under CERCLA have been completed. 
However, this deletion does not preclude future actions under 
Superfund.
