ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[EPA-HQ-SFUND-1989-0008, Notice 4; FRL-8579-2]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the Fourth Street Abandoned Refinery
Site from the National Priorities List.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 announces
its intent to delete the Fourth Street Abandoned Refinery Site (Site),
located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, 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 found at Appendix B of 40 CFR part 300
which is the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution
Contingency Plan (NCP). EPA and the State of Oklahoma, through the
Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) 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.
DATES: Comments concerning the proposed deletion of this Site from the
NPL must be received by July 14, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
SFUND-1989-0008, Notice 4, by one of the following methods:
http://www.regulations.gov. Follow online instructions for
submitting comments.

Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-SFUND-
1989-0008, Notice 4. 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 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 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of
today's Federal Register, we are publishing a direct final Notice of
Deletion of the Fourth Street Abandoned Refinery 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.
