ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[EPA-HQ-SFUND-1986-0005; FRL-8335-8]

 
National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan 
National Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of intent to partially delete the Uravan Superfund Site 
from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 8 is issuing 
a notice of intent to partially delete approximately 7 acres within the 
Uravan Superfund Site, located in Montrose County, Colorado, from the 
National Priorities List (NPL) and requests public comments on this 
notice of intent. Specifically, EPA intends to delete a one mile 
section of Colorado State Highway 141, comprised of a right-of-way up 
to 60 feet in width between mile posts 75 and 76.
    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 Colorado, through the Colorado 
Department of Public Health and Environment, have determined that all 
appropriate response actions under CERCLA, have been completed for the 
7.27 acres. However, this deletion does not preclude future actions 
under Superfund.

DATES: Comments concerning the proposed partial deletion of this Site 
must be received by August 6, 2007.

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

information 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 e-mail. The www.regulations.gov Web site is an

your comment. If you send an e-mail comment directly to EPA without 
going through http://www.regulations.gov, your e-mail address will be 

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 
partial deletion of the Uravan 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 partial deletion in the preamble to the direct final deletion. If 
we receive no adverse comment(s) on this notice of intent to partially 
delete or the direct final notice of partial deletion, 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 partial 
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 partially delete. We will not institute a second 
comment period on this notice of intent to partially 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 section of this Federal Register.
