SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 5 is
issuing a Notice of Intent to Delete the Spiegelberg Landfill Superfund
Site (Site) located in Green Oak Township, Michigan 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). EPA and the
State of Michigan, through the Michigan Department of Environmental
Quality, have determined that all appropriate response actions under
CERCLA have been completed. However, this deletion does not preclude
future actions under Superfund.

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of
today's Federal Register, we are publishing a direct final Notice of
Deletion of the Spiegelberg Landfill 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 and Regulations section of this Federal
Register.
