ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-8523-8]
National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan
National Priorities List
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the Industrial Waste Control
Superfund Site from the National Priorities List.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 is issuing
a notice of intent to delete the Industrial Waste Control Superfund
Site located in Fort Smith, Arkansas 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 Arkansas, through the Arkansas Department of Environmental
Quality (ADEQ), 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 this Federal Register,
we are publishing a direct final notice of deletion of the Industrial
Waste Control 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 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
[[Page 6660]]
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 March 6, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-

Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-SFUND-
1983-0002 Notice 4. EPA policy is that all comments received will be
included in the public docket without change and may be made available

information 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. The http://www.regulations.gov
Web site is an ``anonymous access'' system, which

directly to EPA without going through http://www.regulations.gov, your
e-mail address will automatically be 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
disclosure of which 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
