ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-8186-4]
National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List Update
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the Brio Refining, Inc. Superfund
Site from the National Priorities List.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region
6 is issuing a notice of intent to delete the Brio Refining, Inc.
Superfund Site (Site), located in Friendswood, Texas, from the National
Priorities List (NPL). The NPL, promulgated pursuant to Section 105 of
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is 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
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 today's Federal Register, we are
publishing a direct final notice of deletion of the Brio Refining, 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 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 which is located in the Rules section
of this Federal Register.
DATES: Comments concerning this Site must be received by July 24, 2006.

Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-SFUND-
1989-0008. EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included
in the public docket without change and may be made available online at
http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal 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 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
[[Page 36049]]
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
index. Although listed in the index, some
information is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such
as copyrighted material, will be publicly available only in hard copy.
Publicly available docket materials are available either electronically
in http://www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at the information
repositories.
