SUMMARY: The EPA, Region 7, is issuing a notice of intent to delete the 
Site located near Waverly, Nebraska, from the NPL and requests public

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' Section of

adverse comment(s) on the direct final notice of deletion, the EPA will 
take no further action on this notice of intent to delete. If EPA 
receives adverse comment(s), EPA will withdraw the direct final notice 
of deletion and it will not take effect. The EPA will, as appropriate, 
address all public comments in a subsequent final deletion notice based 
on this notice of intent to delete. The EPA will not institute a second 
comment period on this action. 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
