SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency Region 4 is issuing a
Notice of Intent to Delete the Perdido Ground Water Contamination
Superfund Site (Site) located in Baldwin County, Alabama, 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). The EPA and the
State of Alabama, through the Alabama Department of Environmental
Management (ADEM), have determined that all appropriate response
actions under CERCLA have been completed. However, this deletion does
not preclude future actions under Superfund.

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