ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-6969-6]
 
National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan; 
National Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the Salem Acres Superfund Site from 
the National Priorities List.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)--New England is 
issuing a notice of intent to delete the Salem Acres Superfund Site 
located in Salem, Massachusetts, 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 of the National Oil and 
Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and the 
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, through the Department of Environmental 
Protection, have determined that all appropriate response actions under 
have been completed. However, this deletion does not preclude future 
actions under Superfund.
    In the ``Rules and Regulations'' Section of today's Federal 
Register, we are publishing a direct final deletion of the Salem Acres 
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 deletion. If we receive no adverse 
comment(s) on this notice of intent to delete or the direct final 
deletion, 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 deletion and it will not take effect. We will, as appropriate, 
address all public comments in a subsequent final 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 deletion which is located in the Rules section of this 
Federal Register.

DATES: Comments concerning this Site must be received by June 21, 2001.
