[EPA-R03-SFUND-2010-0436; FRL-9177-9]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List: Intent to Partially Delete the Letterkenny
Army Depot Southeastern (SE) Area and Letterkenny Army Depot Property
Disposal Office (PDO) Area Superfund Sites
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region III is
issuing a Notice of Intent to Delete portions of the Letterkenny Army
Depot Southeastern (SE) Area and Letterkenny Army Depot Property
Disposal Office (PDO) Area (Sites), located in Chambersburg, Franklin
County, Pennsylvania, 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 an
appendix of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution
Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
through the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection
(PADEP), have determined that all appropriate response actions at these
identified parcels under CERCLA, other than operation, maintenance, and
five-year reviews, have been completed. However, this deletion does not
preclude future actions under Superfund.
This partial deletion pertains to the soil and groundwater of
parcels 24, 27, 28, 2-53, 2-53L, 2-54, 2-54L, 2-70, 2-70L, 3-89, 3-90,
and 3-91. All other parcels within the site boundaries of the
Letterkenny Army Depot SE and PDO Areas will remain on the NPL and are
not being considered for deletion as part of this action.

consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through http://www.regulations.gov or e-mail. The http://www.regulations.gov Web site

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' Section of
today's Federal Register, we are publishing a direct final Notice of
Partial Deletion for portions of the Letterkenny Army Depot SE and PDO
Areas without prior Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion because EPA
views this as a noncontroversial revision and anticipates no adverse
comment. We have explained our reasons for this partial deletion in the
preamble to the direct final Notice of Partial Deletion, and those
reasons are incorporated herein. If we receive no adverse comment(s) on
this partial deletion action, we will not take further action on this
Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion. If we receive adverse
comment(s), we will withdraw the direct final Notice of Partial
Deletion and it will not take effect. We will, as appropriate, address
all public comments in a subsequent final Notice of Partial Deletion
based on this Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion. We will not
institute a second comment period on this Notice of Intent for Partial
Deletion. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time.
For additional information, see the direct final Notice of Partial
Deletion which is located in the Rules section of this Federal
Register.
