ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the Waverly Groundwater

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 
comments on this notice of intent. The NPL, promulgated pursuant to

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

provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be 
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information disclosure 
of which 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 http://www.regulations.gov Web site 

is an ``anonymous access'' system, which means EPA will not know your 
identity or contact information unless you provide it in the body of 
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.
    Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the http://www.regulations.gov

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' Section of 
today's Federal Register, EPA is publishing a direct final notice of 
deletion of the Site without prior notice of intent to delete because 
EPA views this as a noncontroversial revision and anticipates no 
adverse comment. The EPA has explained our reasons for this deletion in 
the preamble to the direct final deletion. If the EPA receives no 
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 
Federal Register.
