ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-7615-2]
National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the Tyler Refrigeration Pit
Superfund Site from the National Priorities List.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region III is
issuing a notice of intent to delete the Tyler Refrigeration Pit
Superfund Site (Site) located in Smyrna, Delaware, 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
of 1980, as amended (CERCLA), 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 Delaware, through the
Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC), 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 CERCLA.
In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of today's Federal
Register, EPA is publishing a direct final notice of deletion of the
Tyler Refrigeration Pit Site without prior notice of intent to delete
because EPA views this as a noncontroversial deletion and anticipates
no adverse comment. EPA
[[Page 4097]]
has explained its reasons for this deletion in the direct final notice
of deletion. If EPA receives no adverse comment(s) on the direct final
notice of deletion, EPA will not take further action. If EPA receives
adverse comment(s), EPA will withdraw the direct final notice of
deletion and it will not take effect. EPA will, as appropriate, address
all public comments in a subsequent final deletion notice based on this
notice of intent to delete. EPA 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.
DATES: Comments concerning this Site must be received by February 27,
2004.

Remedial Project Manager, U.S. EPA Region III (3HS23), 1650 Arch
