SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 5 is issuing
a Notice of Intent to Delete the Belvidere Municipal Landfill Superfund
Site (Site) located in Belvidere, Illinois 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 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 Illinois, through the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA), 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 Superfund.

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 email. The http://www.regulations.gov Web site

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 Belvidere Municipal Landfill Superfund Site without
prior Notice of Intent to Delete because we view this as a
noncontroversial revision and anticipate no adverse comment(s). 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.
