ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-7924-4]
National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan
National Priorities List
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the Metropolitan Mirror and Glass
(MM&G) Superfund Site from the National Priorities List.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 3 is issuing
a notice of intent to delete MM&G Superfund Site (Site) located in
Frackville, Schuylkill County, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, 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 Pennsylvania, through
the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP), have
determined that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA have been
completed. However, this deletion does not preclude future actions
under Superfund.
In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of today's Federal
Register, EPA is publishing a direct final notice of deletion of MM&G
Superfund Site without prior notice of intent to delete because EPA
views this as a noncontroversial revision and anticipate no adverse
comment. EPA has explained its reasons for this deletion in the
preamble to the direct final notice of deletion. If no adverse
comment(s) are received on this notice of intent to delete or the
direct final notice of deletion, EPA will not take further action on
this notice of intent to delete. If adverse comment(s) are received,
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 section of this Federal
Register.
DATES: Comments concerning this Site must be received by July 18, 2005.
