ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[EPA-HQ-SFUND-1986-0005; FRL-8454-2]

 
National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan; 
National Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the Bailey Waste Disposal Superfund 
Site from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 is issuing 
a notice of intent to delete the Bailey Waste Disposal Superfund Site 
located in Bridge City, Texas from the National Priorities List (NPL) 
and requests public comments on this notice of intent. 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 Texas, through the Texas Commission on Environmental 
Quality (TCEQ), have determined that all appropriate response actions 
under CERCLA, other than operation and

[[Page 45405]]

maintenance and five-year reviews, have been completed. However, this 
deletion does not preclude future actions under Superfund.
    In the ``Rules and Regulations'' Section of this Federal Register, 
we are publishing a direct final notice of deletion of the Bailey Waste 
Disposal 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 
direct final deletion. If we receive no adverse comment(s) on this 
notice of intent to delete or the direct final notice of 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 
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 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 located in the Rules section of this 
Federal Register.

DATES: Comments concerning this Site must be received by September 13, 
2007.
