National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the Central Wood Preserving Company
Superfund Site from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 is issuing
a notice of intent to delete Central Wood Preserving Company Superfund
Site (Site) located in East Feliciana Parish, Louisiana, 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

Quality, have determined that all appropriate response actions under
CERCLA, other than operation and maintenance and five-year reviews,
have been completed. However, this deletion does not preclude future
actions under Superfund.

DATES: Comments must be received by August 19, 2009.

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

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 Central Wood Preserving Superfund Site Superfund Site

noncontroversial revision and anticipate no adverse comment. 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.
