40 CFR Part 300
[EPA-HQ-SFUND-1986-0005; FRL-9289-1]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List: Deletion of the Norwood PCBs Superfund Site
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Proposed rule; notice of intent.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 1 is issuing
a Notice of Intent to Delete the Norwood PCBs Superfund Site (Site)
located in Norwood, Massachusetts, 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 Massachusetts,
through the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection
(MassDEP), have determined that all appropriate response actions under
CERCLA, other than operation, maintenance, and five-year reviews, have
been completed. However, this deletion does not preclude future actions
under CERCLA.
DATES: Comments must be received by May 2, 2011.

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

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' Section of
[[Page 18137]]
today's Federal Register, we are publishing a direct final Notice of
Deletion of Norwood PCBs 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 Notice of Deletion, and
those reasons are incorporated herein. If we receive no adverse
comment(s) on this deletion action, 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 Notice of Deletion 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.
