[EPA-HQ-SFUND-1983-0002; FRL-9657-6]

National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; 
National Priorities List: Deletion of the A & F Material Reclaiming, 
Inc. Superfund Site

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule; notice of intent.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 5 is issuing 
a Notice of Intent to Delete the A & F Material Reclaiming, Inc. 
Superfund Site (Site) located in Greenup, 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 appendix of the National Oil and 
Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). EPA and the 
State of Illinois, through the 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.

provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be 
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose 
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you 
consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through http://www.regulations.gov or email. The http://www.regulations.gov Web site

automatically 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of 
today's Federal Register, we are publishing a direct final Notice of 
Deletion of the A & F Material Reclaiming Inc. 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 Notice of Deletion, and those reasons are incorporated herein. If 
we receive no adverse comment(s) on this deletion action, 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 Notice of Deletion 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 and Regulations'' section of this 
Federal Register.
