[EPA-HQ-SFUND-1999-0013; FRL-9503-8]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List: Deletion of the Hiteman Leather Superfund
Site
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule; notice of intent.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA, Region 2, is issuing a Notice of Intent to Delete the
Hiteman Leather Superfund Site (Site), located in West Winfield, New
York, 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 New York, through the New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation, have determined that all appropriate
response actions under CERCLA, other than monitoring and maintenance
and five-year reviews, have been completed. However, the deletion does
not preclude future action under Superfund.

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 via
email. 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 comments. If you
send comments to EPA via email, your email address will be included as
part of the comment that is placed in the Docket and made available on
the Web site. If you submit electronic comments, EPA recommends that
you include your name and other contact information in the body of your
comments and with any disks or CD-ROMs that you submit. If EPA cannot
read your comments due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you
for clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comments.
Electronic files should avoid the use of special characters and any
form of encryption and should be free of any defects or viruses.
Docket: All documents in the Docket are listed in the http://www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' Section of
today's Federal Register, EPA is publishing a direct final Notice of
Deletion of the 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 EPA receives no
adverse comment(s) on this Notice of Intent to Delete or the direct
final Notice of Deletion, EPA will proceed with the deletion without
further notice on this Notice of Intent to Delete. 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 Notice of Deletion 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.
