ACTION: Notice of twenty-first update of
the Federal Agency Hazardous Waste
Compliance Docket, pursuant to
CERCLA section 120(c).
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Section 120(c) of the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended by
the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA),
requires the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) to establish a Federal
Agency Hazardous Waste Compliance
Docket. The docket is to contain certain
information about Federal facilities that
manage hazardous waste or from which
hazardous substances have been or may
be released. (As defined by CERCLA
section 101(22), a release is any spilling,
leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting,
emptying, discharging, injecting,
escaping, leaching, dumping, or
disposing into the environment.)
CERCLA requires that the docket be
updated every six months, as new
facilities are reported to EPA by Federal
agencies. The following list identifies
the Federal facilities to be included in
this twenty-first update of the docket
and includes facilities not previously
listed on the docket and reported to EPA
since the last update of the docket, 69
FR 75951, December 20, 2004, which
was current as of September 13, 2004.
SARA, as amended by the Defense
Authorization Act of 1997, specifies
that, for each Federal facility that is
included on the docket during an
update, evaluation shall be completed
in accordance with a reasonable
schedule. Such site evaluation activities
will help determine whether the Federal
facility should be included on the
National Priorities List (NPL) and will
provide EPA and the public with
valuable information about the facility.
In addition to the list of additions to the
docket, this notice includes a section
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:53 Oct 24, 2005
Jkt 208001
that comprises revisions (that is,
corrections and deletions) of the
previous docket list. This update
contains 3 additions and 12 deletions
since the previous update, as well as
numerous other corrections to the
docket list. At the time of publication of
this notice, the new total number of
Federal facilities listed on the docket is
2,282.
DATES: This list is current as of February
4, 2005.

1.0 Introduction
Section 120(c) of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980
(CERCLA), 42 United States Code
(U.S.C.) 9620(c), as amended by the
Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA),
required the establishment of the
Federal Agency Hazardous Waste
Compliance Docket. The docket
contains information on Federal
facilities that is submitted by Federal
agencies to the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) under sections
3005, 3010, and 3016 of the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA),
42 U.S.C. 6925, 6930, and 6937, and
under section 103 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C.
9603. Specifically, RCRA section 3005
establishes a permitting system for
certain hazardous waste treatment,
storage, and disposal (TSD) facilities;
RCRA section 3010 requires waste
generators and transporters and TSD
facilities to notify EPA of their
hazardous waste activities; and RCRA
section 3016 requires Federal agencies
to submit biennially to EPA an
inventory of hazardous waste sites that
the Federal agencies own or operate.
CERCLA section 103(a) requires that the
National Response Center (NRC) be
notified of a release of a hazardous
substance in quantities equal to or
greater than the reportable quantity
levels established pursuant to CERCLA
section 102. CERCLA section 103(c)
requires reporting to EPA the existence
PO 00000
Frm 00017
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
of a facility at which hazardous
substances are or have been stored,
treated, or disposed of and the existence
of known or suspected releases of
hazardous substances at such facilities.
The docket serves three major
purposes: (1) To identify all Federal
facilities that must be evaluated to
determine whether they pose a risk to
human health and the environment
sufficient to warrant inclusion on the
National Priorities List (NPL); (2) to
compile and maintain the information
submitted to EPA on such facilities
under the provisions listed in section
120(c) of CERCLA; and (3) to provide a
mechanism to make the information
available to the public.
The initial list of Federal facilities to
be included on the docket was
published on February 12, 1988 (53 FR
4280). Updates of the docket have been
published on November 16, 1988 (54 FR
46364); December 15, 1989 (54 FR
51472); August 22, 1990 (55 FR 34492);

(68 FR 240); July 19, 2004 (69 FR
42989); and December 20, 2004 (69 FR
75951). This notice constitutes the
twenty-first update of the docket.
Today’s notice is divided into three
sections: (1) Additions, (2) deletions,
and (3) corrections. The additions
section lists newly identified facilities
that have been reported to EPA since the
last update and that now are being
included on the docket. The deletions
section lists facilities that EPA is
deleting from the docket. The
corrections section lists changes in
information about facilities already
listed on the docket.
The information submitted to EPA on
each Federal facility is maintained in
the docket repository located in the EPA
Regional office of the Region in which
the facility is located (see 53 FR 4280
(February 12, 1988) for a description of
the information required under those
provisions). Each repository contains
the documents submitted to EPA under
the reporting provisions and
correspondence relevant to the reporting
provisions for each facility. Contact the

2.0
Revisions of the Previous Docket
Following is a discussion of the
revisions of the previous docket,
including additions, deletions, and
corrections.
2.1
Additions
Today, three facilities are being added
to the docket, primarily because of new
information obtained by EPA (for
example, recent reporting of a facility
pursuant to RCRA sections 3005, 3010,
or 3016 or CERCLA section 103). SARA,
as amended by the Defense
Authorization Act of 1997, specifies
that, for each Federal facility that is
included on the docket during an
update, evaluation shall be completed
in accordance with a reasonable
schedule.
Of the three facilities being added to
the docket, none are facilities that have
reported to the NRC the release of a
reportable quantity (RQ) of a hazardous
substance. Under section 103(a) of
CERCLA, a facility is required to report
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:53 Oct 24, 2005
Jkt 208001
to the NRC the release of a hazardous
substance in a quantity that equals or
exceeds the established RQ. Reports of
releases received by the NRC, the U.S.
Coast Guard (USCG), and EPA are
transmitted electronically to the
Transportation Systems Center at the
U.S. Department of Transportation
(DOT), where they become part of the
Emergency Response Notification
System (ERNS) database. ERNS is a
national computer database and
retrieval system that stores information
on releases of oil and hazardous
substances. Facilities being added to the
docket and facilities already listed on
the docket for which an ERNS report
has been filed are identified by the
notation ‘‘103(a)’’ in the ‘‘Reporting
Mechanism’’ column.
EPA’s policy is generally not to list on
the docket facilities that are smallquantity generators (SQG) that have
never generated more than 1,000
kilograms (kg) of hazardous waste in
any single month. However, if a facility
has generated more than 1,000 kg of
hazardous waste in any single month
(that is, if the facility is an episodic
generator), it will be added to the
docket. In addition, facilities that are
SQGs and have reported releases under
CERCLA section 103 or hazardous waste
activities pursuant to RCRA section
3016 will be listed on the docket and are
required by CERCLA section 120(d) to
undergo site assessment and evaluation
activities, such as a Preliminary
Assessment (PA) and, when
appropriate, a Site Investigation (SI). All
such facilities will be listed on the
docket, whether or not they are SQGs
pursuant to RCRA. As a result, some of
the facilities that EPA is adding to the
docket today are SQGs that had not been
listed on the docket but that have
reported releases or hazardous waste
activities to EPA under another
reporting provision.
In the process of compiling the
documents for the EPA Regional
repositories, EPA identified a number of
facilities that had previously submitted
PA reports, SI reports, Department of
Defense (DoD) Installation Restoration
Program (IRP) reports, or reports under
another Federal agency environmental
restoration program, but do not appear
to have notified EPA under CERCLA
section 103. Section 120(c)(3) of
CERCLA requires that EPA include on
the docket, among other things,
information submitted under section
103. In general, section 103 requires
persons in charge of a facility to provide
notice of certain releases of hazardous
substances. The reports under various
Federal agency environmental
restoration programs may contain
PO 00000
Frm 00018
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
61617
information regarding releases of
hazardous substances similar to that
provided pursuant to section 103. EPA
believes that CERCLA section 120(c)
authorizes the agency to include on the
docket a facility that has provided
information to EPA through documents
such as a report under a Federal agency
environmental restoration program,
regardless of the absence of section 103
reporting. Therefore, some of the
facilities that EPA is adding today are
being placed on the docket because they
have submitted the documents
described above that contain reports of
releases of hazardous substances.
EPA also includes privately owned,
government-operated (POGO) facilities
on the docket. CERCLA section 120(c)
requires that the docket contain
information submitted under RCRA
sections 3005, 3010, and 3016 and
CERCLA section 103, all of which
impose requirements on operators as
well as owners of facilities. In addition,
other subsections of CERCLA section
120 refer to facilities ‘‘owned or
operated’’ by an agency or other
instrumentality of the Federal
government. EPA interprets this
terminology to include facilities that are
operated by the Federal government,
even if they are not owned by it.
Specifically, CERCLA section 120(a)(2)
provides that all ‘‘guidelines, rules,
regulations, and criteria’’ generally are
applicable to facilities ‘‘owned or
operated by a department, agency, or
instrumentality of the United States
* * *’’ Also, CERCLA section 120(e),
which sets forth the duties of the
Federal agencies after a facility has been
listed on the NPL, refers to the Federal
agency that ‘‘owns or operates’’ the
facility. In addition, the primary basis
for assigning responsibility for
conducting PAs and SIs, as required
when a facility is listed on the docket,
is Executive Order 12580, which assigns
that responsibility to the Federal agency
having ‘‘jurisdiction, custody, or
control’’ over a facility. An operator may
be deemed to have jurisdiction, custody,
or control over a facility.
2.2 Deletions
Today, 12 facilities are being deleted
from the docket. When facilities are
deleted from the docket, it is for reasons
such as incorrect reporting of hazardous
waste activity, change in ownership,
and exemption as a SQG under RCRA
(40 CFR 262.44). Facilities being deleted
no longer will be subject to the
requirements of CERCLA section 120(d).
2.3 Corrections
Changes necessary to correct the
previous docket were identified by both
E:\FR\FM\25OCN1.SGM
25OCN1
61618
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 205 / Tuesday, October 25, 2005 / Notices
EPA and Federal agencies. The changes
needed varied from simple changes in
addresses or spelling to corrections of
the recorded name and ownership of a
facility. In addition, some changes in
the names of facilities were made to
establish consistency in the docket.
Many new entries are simply
corrections of typographical errors. For
each facility for which a correction has
been entered, the original entry
(designated by an ‘‘O’’), as it appeared
in the February 12, 1988 notice or
subsequent updates, is shown directly
below the corrected entry (designated by
a ‘‘C’’) for easy comparison.
3.0 Process for Compiling the Updated
Docket
In compiling the newly reported
facilities for the update being published
today, EPA extracted the names,
addresses, and identification numbers of
facilities from four EPA databases—
ERNS, the Biennial Inventory of Federal
Agency Hazardous Waste Activities, the
Resource Conservation and Recovery
Information System (RCRAInfo), and the
Superfund Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability
Information System (CERCLIS)—that
contain information about Federal
facilities submitted under the four
provisions listed in CERCLA section
120(c).
EPA assures the quality of the
information in the Docket by conducting
extensive analysis of the current docket
list with the information obtained from
the databases identified above to
determine which facilities were, in fact,
newly reported and qualified for
inclusion on the update. EPA is also
striving to correct errors for facilities
that were previously reported. For
example, state-owned or privately
owned facilities that are not operated by
the Federal government may have been
included. Such problems are sometimes
caused by procedures historically used
to report and track Federal facilities
data. EPA is working to resolve them.
Representatives of Federal agencies are
asked to write to EPA’s docket
coordinator at the following address if
revisions of this update information are
necessary: Joshua A. Barber, Federal
Agency Hazardous Waste Compliance
Docket Coordinator, Federal Facilities
Restoration Reuse Office (Mail Code
5106G), U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue
NW., Washington, DC 20460.
4.0 Facilities Not Included
As explained in the preamble to the
original docket (53 FR 4280), the docket
does not include the following
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:53 Oct 24, 2005
Jkt 208001
categories of facilities (note, however,
that any of these types of facilities may,
when appropriate, be listed on the NPL):
• Facilities formerly owned by a
Federal agency that are no longer owned
by the Federal Government (including
those now owned by State or local
governments, private entities, nongovernmental organizations, etc).
• SQGs that have never produced
more than 1,000 kg of hazardous waste
in any single month and that have not
reported releases under CERCLA section
103 or hazardous waste activities under
RCRA section 3016.
• Facilities that are solely
transporters, as reported under RCRA
section 3010.
5.0
Facility Status Reporting
EPA has expanded the docket
database to include information on the
No Further Remedial Action Planned
(NFRAP) status of listed facilities.
Indicating NFRAP status allows easy
identification of facilities that, after
submitting all necessary site assessment
information, were found to warrant no
further involvement on the part of EPA
at the time of the status change.
Accordingly, the docket database
includes the following facility status
codes:
U = Undetermined.
N = No further remedial action planned
(NFRAP).
NFRAP is a term used in the
Superfund site assessment program to
identify facilities for which EPA has
found that currently available
information indicates that listing on the
NPL is not warranted and further
assessment by EPA is not appropriate at
the time. NFRAP status does not
represent an EPA determination that no
environmental threats are present at the
facility or that no further environmental
response action of any kind is
necessary. NFRAP status means only
that the facility does not appear, from
the information available to EPA at this
time, to warrant listing on the NPL and
that, therefore, EPA anticipates no
further involvement by EPA in site
assessment or cleanup at the facility.
However, additional CERCLA response
actions by the Federal agency that owns
or operates the facility, whether
remedial or removal actions, may be
necessary at a facility that has a NFRAP
status. The status information contained
in the docket database is the result of
EPA Regional evaluation of information
taken directly from the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation
and Liability Information System
(CERCLIS). (CERCLIS is a database used
by EPA Headquarters and Regional
PO 00000
Frm 00019
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
personnel to manage sites, programs,
and projects. It contains the official
inventory of all CERCLA (NPL and nonNPL) sites and supports all site planning
and tracking functions. It also integrates
financial data from preremedial,
remedial, removal, post construction
completion and enforcement programs.)
The status information was extracted
from CERCLIS and was reviewed by the
EPA Regional docket coordinators for
review. The results of those reviews are
incorporated into the status field in the
docket database. Subsequently, an
updated list of facilities having NFRAP
status (those for which an ‘‘N’’ appears
in the status field) was generated; the
list of updates since the previous
publication of the docket is being
published today.
Important limitations apply to the list
of facilities that have NFRAP status.
First, the information is accurate only as
of February 4, 2005. Second, a facility’s
status may change at any time because
of any number of factors, including, but
not limited to new site information.
Finally, the list of facilities that have
NFRAP status is based on EPA Regional
review of CERCLIS data, is provided for
information purposes only, and should
not be considered binding upon either
the Federal agency responsible for the
facility or EPA.
The status information in the docket
database will be reviewed and a new list
of facilities classified as NFRAP will be
published at each docket update.
6.0 Information Contained on Docket
Listing
As discussed above, the update
information below is divided into three
separate sections. The first section is a
list of new facilities that are being added
to the docket. The second section is a
list of facilities that are being deleted
from the docket. The third section
comprises corrections of information
included on the docket. Each facility
listed for the update has been assigned
a code(s) that indicates a more specific
reason(s) for the addition, deletion, or
correction. The code key precedes the
lists.
SARA, as amended by the Defense
Authorization Act of 1997, specifies
that, for each Federal facility that is
included on the docket during an
update, evaluation shall be completed
in accordance with a reasonable
schedule. Therefore, all facilities on the
additions list to this twenty first docket
update must submit a PA and, if
warranted, an SI to EPA. The PA must
include existing information about a site
and its surrounding environment,
including a thorough examination of
human, food-chain, and environmental
E:\FR\FM\25OCN1.SGM
25OCN1
61619
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 205 / Tuesday, October 25, 2005 / Notices
targets, potential waste sources, and
migration pathways. EPA will
determine whether a SI is required
based on information in the PA or other
information coming to EPA’s attention.
An SI augments the data collected in a
PA and requires sampling and other
field data that are used to determine
whether further action or investigation
is appropriate. This policy includes any
facility for which there is a change in
the identity of the responsible Federal
agency. The reports should be submitted
to the Federal facilities coordinator in
the appropriate EPA Regional office.
Guidance on conducting PAs and SIs
can be obtained from the Guidance for
Performing Preliminary Assessments
Under CERCLA, 1991 and Guidance for
Performing Site Inspections Under
CERCLA, 1992. Additional information
on site assessment at Federal facilities
can be found in the Federal Facilities
Remedial Preliminary Assessment
Summary Guide, 2005 and the Federal
Facilities Remedial Site Investigation
Summary Guide, 2005.
The facilities listed in each section are
organized by state and then grouped
alphabetically within each state by the
Federal agency responsible for the
facility. Under each state heading is
listed the name and address of the
facility, the Federal agency responsible
for the facility, the statutory provision(s)
under which the facility was reported to
EPA, and the correction code(s).
The statutory provisions under which
a facility reported are listed in a column
titled ‘‘Reporting Mechanism.’’
Applicable mechanisms are listed for
each facility: for example 3010, 3016,
and 103(c).
The complete list of Federal facilities
that now make up the docket and the
complete list of facilities classified as
NFRAP are not being published today.
However, the lists are available to
interested parties and can be obtained at

Federal Agency Hazardous Waste
Compliance Docket or by calling the
EPA HQ Docket Coordinator at (703)

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL-7988-1]
Federal Agency Hazardous Waste Compliance Docket (Federal Docket
Management System --SFUND-2005-0004)
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of twenty-first update of the Federal Agency Hazardous
Waste Compliance Docket, pursuant to CERCLA section 120(c).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Section 120(c) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended by the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA), requires
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish a Federal Agency
Hazardous Waste Compliance Docket. The docket is to contain certain
information about Federal facilities that manage hazardous waste or
from which hazardous substances have been or may be released. (As
defined by CERCLA section 101(22), a release is any spilling, leaking,
pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, discharging, injecting, escaping,
leaching, dumping, or disposing into the environment.) CERCLA requires
that the docket be updated every six months, as new facilities are
reported to EPA by Federal agencies. The following list identifies the
Federal facilities to be included in this twenty-first update of the
docket and includes facilities not previously listed on the docket and
reported to EPA since the last update of the docket, 69 FR 75951,
December 20, 2004, which was current as of September 13, 2004. SARA, as
amended by the Defense Authorization Act of 1997, specifies that, for
each Federal facility that is included on the docket during an update,
evaluation shall be completed in accordance with a reasonable schedule.
Such site evaluation activities will help determine whether the Federal
facility should be included on the National Priorities List (NPL) and
will provide EPA and the public with valuable information about the
facility. In addition to the list of additions to the docket, this
notice includes a section that comprises revisions (that is,
corrections and deletions) of the previous docket list. This update
contains 3 additions and 12 deletions since the previous update, as
well as numerous other corrections to the docket list. At the time of
publication of this notice, the new total number of Federal facilities
listed on the docket is 2,282.
DATES: This list is current as of February 4, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Electronic versions of the docket can
be obtained at https://www.epa.gov/fedfac by clicking on the link for
Update #21 to the Federal Agency Hazardous Waste Compliance Docket.

1.0 Introduction
Section 120(c) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), 42 United States Code
(U.S.C.) 9620(c), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA), required the establishment of the
Federal Agency Hazardous Waste Compliance Docket. The docket contains
information on Federal facilities that is submitted by Federal agencies
to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under sections 3005,
3010, and 3016 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), 42
U.S.C. 6925, 6930, and 6937, and under section 103 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C.
9603. Specifically, RCRA section 3005 establishes a permitting system
for certain hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal (TSD)
facilities; RCRA section 3010 requires waste generators and
transporters and TSD facilities to notify EPA of their hazardous waste
activities; and RCRA section 3016 requires Federal agencies to submit
biennially to EPA an inventory of hazardous waste sites that the
Federal agencies own or operate. CERCLA section 103(a) requires that
the National Response Center (NRC) be notified of a release of a
hazardous substance in quantities equal to or greater than the
reportable quantity levels established pursuant to CERCLA section 102.
CERCLA section 103(c) requires reporting to EPA the existence of a
facility at which hazardous substances are or have been stored,
treated, or disposed of and the existence of known or suspected
releases of hazardous substances at such facilities.
The docket serves three major purposes: (1) To identify all Federal
facilities that must be evaluated to determine whether they pose a risk
to human health and the environment sufficient to warrant inclusion on
the National Priorities List (NPL); (2) to compile and maintain the
information submitted to EPA on such facilities under the provisions
listed in section 120(c) of CERCLA; and (3) to provide a mechanism to
make the information available to the public.
The initial list of Federal facilities to be included on the docket
was published on February 12, 1988 (53 FR 4280). Updates of the docket
have been published on November 16, 1988 (54 FR 46364); December 15,
1989 (54 FR 51472); August 22, 1990 (55 FR 34492); September 27, 1991
(56 FR 49328); December 12, 1991 (56 FR 64898); July 17, 1992 (57 FR

2003 (68 FR 240); July 19, 2004 (69 FR 42989); and December 20, 2004
(69 FR 75951). This notice constitutes the twenty-first update of the
docket.
Today's notice is divided into three sections: (1) Additions, (2)
deletions, and (3) corrections. The additions section lists newly
identified facilities that have been reported to EPA since the last
update and that now are being included on the docket. The deletions
section lists facilities that EPA is deleting from the docket. The
corrections section lists changes in information about facilities
already listed on the docket.
The information submitted to EPA on each Federal facility is
maintained in the docket repository located in the EPA Regional office
of the Region in which the facility is located (see 53 FR 4280
(February 12, 1988) for a description of the information required under
those provisions). Each repository contains the documents submitted to
EPA under the reporting provisions and correspondence relevant to the
reporting provisions for each facility. Contact the following docket

2.0 Revisions of the Previous Docket
Following is a discussion of the revisions of the previous docket,
including additions, deletions, and corrections.
2.1 Additions
Today, three facilities are being added to the docket, primarily
because of new information obtained by EPA (for example, recent
reporting of a facility pursuant to RCRA sections 3005, 3010, or 3016
or CERCLA section 103). SARA, as amended by the Defense Authorization
Act of 1997, specifies that, for each Federal facility that is included
on the docket during an update, evaluation shall be completed in
accordance with a reasonable schedule.
Of the three facilities being added to the docket, none are
facilities that have reported to the NRC the release of a reportable
quantity (RQ) of a hazardous substance. Under section 103(a) of CERCLA,
a facility is required to report to the NRC the release of a hazardous
substance in a quantity that equals or exceeds the established RQ.
Reports of releases received by the NRC, the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG),
and EPA are transmitted electronically to the Transportation Systems
Center at the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), where they
become part of the Emergency Response Notification System (ERNS)
database. ERNS is a national computer database and retrieval system
that stores information on releases of oil and hazardous substances.
Facilities being added to the docket and facilities already listed on
the docket for which an ERNS report has been filed are identified by
the notation ``103(a)'' in the ``Reporting Mechanism'' column.
EPA's policy is generally not to list on the docket facilities that
are small-quantity generators (SQG) that have never generated more than
1,000 kilograms (kg) of hazardous waste in any single month. However,
if a facility has generated more than 1,000 kg of hazardous waste in
any single month (that is, if the facility is an episodic generator),
it will be added to the docket. In addition, facilities that are SQGs
and have reported releases under CERCLA section 103 or hazardous waste
activities pursuant to RCRA section 3016 will be listed on the docket
and are required by CERCLA section 120(d) to undergo site assessment
and evaluation activities, such as a Preliminary Assessment (PA) and,
when appropriate, a Site Investigation (SI). All such facilities will
be listed on the docket, whether or not they are SQGs pursuant to RCRA.
As a result, some of the facilities that EPA is adding to the docket
today are SQGs that had not been listed on the docket but that have
reported releases or hazardous waste activities to EPA under another
reporting provision.
In the process of compiling the documents for the EPA Regional
repositories, EPA identified a number of facilities that had previously
submitted PA reports, SI reports, Department of Defense (DoD)
Installation Restoration Program (IRP) reports, or reports under
another Federal agency environmental restoration program, but do not
appear to have notified EPA under CERCLA section 103. Section 120(c)(3)
of CERCLA requires that EPA include on the docket, among other things,
information submitted under section 103. In general, section 103
requires persons in charge of a facility to provide notice of certain
releases of hazardous substances. The reports under various Federal
agency environmental restoration programs may contain information
regarding releases of hazardous substances similar to that provided
pursuant to section 103. EPA believes that CERCLA section 120(c)
authorizes the agency to include on the docket a facility that has
provided information to EPA through documents such as a report under a
Federal agency environmental restoration program, regardless of the
absence of section 103 reporting. Therefore, some of the facilities
that EPA is adding today are being placed on the docket because they
have submitted the documents described above that contain reports of
releases of hazardous substances.
EPA also includes privately owned, government-operated (POGO)
facilities on the docket. CERCLA section 120(c) requires that the
docket contain information submitted under RCRA sections 3005, 3010,
and 3016 and CERCLA section 103, all of which impose requirements on
operators as well as owners of facilities. In addition, other
subsections of CERCLA section 120 refer to facilities ``owned or
operated'' by an agency or other instrumentality of the Federal
government. EPA interprets this terminology to include facilities that
are operated by the Federal government, even if they are not owned by
it. Specifically, CERCLA section 120(a)(2) provides that all
``guidelines, rules, regulations, and criteria'' generally are
applicable to facilities ``owned or operated by a department, agency,
or instrumentality of the United States * * *'' Also, CERCLA section
120(e), which sets forth the duties of the Federal agencies after a
facility has been listed on the NPL, refers to the Federal agency that
``owns or operates'' the facility. In addition, the primary basis for
assigning responsibility for conducting PAs and SIs, as required when a
facility is listed on the docket, is Executive Order 12580, which
assigns that responsibility to the Federal agency having
``jurisdiction, custody, or control'' over a facility. An operator may
be deemed to have jurisdiction, custody, or control over a facility.
2.2 Deletions
Today, 12 facilities are being deleted from the docket. When
facilities are deleted from the docket, it is for reasons such as
incorrect reporting of hazardous waste activity, change in ownership,
and exemption as a SQG under RCRA (40 CFR 262.44). Facilities being
deleted no longer will be subject to the requirements of CERCLA section
120(d).
2.3 Corrections
Changes necessary to correct the previous docket were identified by
both
[[Page 61618]]
EPA and Federal agencies. The changes needed varied from simple changes
in addresses or spelling to corrections of the recorded name and
ownership of a facility. In addition, some changes in the names of
facilities were made to establish consistency in the docket. Many new
entries are simply corrections of typographical errors. For each
facility for which a correction has been entered, the original entry
(designated by an ``O''), as it appeared in the February 12, 1988
notice or subsequent updates, is shown directly below the corrected
entry (designated by a ``C'') for easy comparison.
3.0 Process for Compiling the Updated Docket
In compiling the newly reported facilities for the update being
published today, EPA extracted the names, addresses, and identification
numbers of facilities from four EPA databases--ERNS, the Biennial
Inventory of Federal Agency Hazardous Waste Activities, the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Information System (RCRAInfo), and the
Superfund Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Information System (CERCLIS)--that contain information about
Federal facilities submitted under the four provisions listed in CERCLA
section 120(c).
EPA assures the quality of the information in the Docket by
conducting extensive analysis of the current docket list with the
information obtained from the databases identified above to determine
which facilities were, in fact, newly reported and qualified for
inclusion on the update. EPA is also striving to correct errors for
facilities that were previously reported. For example, state-owned or
privately owned facilities that are not operated by the Federal
government may have been included. Such problems are sometimes caused
by procedures historically used to report and track Federal facilities
data. EPA is working to resolve them. Representatives of Federal
agencies are asked to write to EPA's docket coordinator at the
following address if revisions of this update information are
necessary: Joshua A. Barber, Federal Agency Hazardous Waste Compliance
Docket Coordinator, Federal Facilities Restoration Reuse Office (Mail
Code 5106G), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania
Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20460.
4.0 Facilities Not Included
As explained in the preamble to the original docket (53 FR 4280),
the docket does not include the following categories of facilities
(note, however, that any of these types of facilities may, when
appropriate, be listed on the NPL):
Facilities formerly owned by a Federal agency that are no
longer owned by the Federal Government (including those now owned by
State or local governments, private entities, non-governmental
organizations, etc).
SQGs that have never produced more than 1,000 kg of
hazardous waste in any single month and that have not reported releases
under CERCLA section 103 or hazardous waste activities under RCRA
section 3016.
Facilities that are solely transporters, as reported under
RCRA section 3010.
5.0 Facility Status Reporting
EPA has expanded the docket database to include information on the
No Further Remedial Action Planned (NFRAP) status of listed facilities.
Indicating NFRAP status allows easy identification of facilities that,
after submitting all necessary site assessment information, were found
to warrant no further involvement on the part of EPA at the time of the
status change. Accordingly, the docket database includes the following
facility status codes:
U = Undetermined.
N = No further remedial action planned (NFRAP).
NFRAP is a term used in the Superfund site assessment program to
identify facilities for which EPA has found that currently available
information indicates that listing on the NPL is not warranted and
further assessment by EPA is not appropriate at the time. NFRAP status
does not represent an EPA determination that no environmental threats
are present at the facility or that no further environmental response
action of any kind is necessary. NFRAP status means only that the
facility does not appear, from the information available to EPA at this
time, to warrant listing on the NPL and that, therefore, EPA
anticipates no further involvement by EPA in site assessment or cleanup
at the facility. However, additional CERCLA response actions by the
Federal agency that owns or operates the facility, whether remedial or
removal actions, may be necessary at a facility that has a NFRAP
status. The status information contained in the docket database is the
result of EPA Regional evaluation of information taken directly from
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Information System (CERCLIS). (CERCLIS is a database used by EPA
Headquarters and Regional personnel to manage sites, programs, and
projects. It contains the official inventory of all CERCLA (NPL and
non-NPL) sites and supports all site planning and tracking functions.
It also integrates financial data from preremedial, remedial, removal,
post construction completion and enforcement programs.) The status
information was extracted from CERCLIS and was reviewed by the EPA
Regional docket coordinators for review. The results of those reviews
are incorporated into the status field in the docket database.
Subsequently, an updated list of facilities having NFRAP status (those
for which an ``N'' appears in the status field) was generated; the list
of updates since the previous publication of the docket is being
published today.
Important limitations apply to the list of facilities that have
NFRAP status. First, the information is accurate only as of February 4,
2005. Second, a facility's status may change at any time because of any
number of factors, including, but not limited to new site information.
Finally, the list of facilities that have NFRAP status is based on EPA
Regional review of CERCLIS data, is provided for information purposes
only, and should not be considered binding upon either the Federal
agency responsible for the facility or EPA.
The status information in the docket database will be reviewed and
a new list of facilities classified as NFRAP will be published at each
docket update.
6.0 Information Contained on Docket Listing
As discussed above, the update information below is divided into
three separate sections. The first section is a list of new facilities
that are being added to the docket. The second section is a list of
facilities that are being deleted from the docket. The third section
comprises corrections of information included on the docket. Each
facility listed for the update has been assigned a code(s) that
indicates a more specific reason(s) for the addition, deletion, or
correction. The code key precedes the lists.
SARA, as amended by the Defense Authorization Act of 1997,
specifies that, for each Federal facility that is included on the
docket during an update, evaluation shall be completed in accordance
with a reasonable schedule. Therefore, all facilities on the additions
list to this twenty first docket update must submit a PA and, if
warranted, an SI to EPA. The PA must include existing information about
a site and its surrounding environment, including a thorough
examination of human, food-chain, and environmental
[[Page 61619]]
targets, potential waste sources, and migration pathways. EPA will
determine whether a SI is required based on information in the PA or
other information coming to EPA's attention. An SI augments the data
collected in a PA and requires sampling and other field data that are
used to determine whether further action or investigation is
appropriate. This policy includes any facility for which there is a
change in the identity of the responsible Federal agency. The reports
should be submitted to the Federal facilities coordinator in the
appropriate EPA Regional office. Guidance on conducting PAs and SIs can
be obtained from the Guidance for Performing Preliminary Assessments
Under CERCLA, 1991 and Guidance for Performing Site Inspections Under
CERCLA, 1992. Additional information on site assessment at Federal
facilities can be found in the Federal Facilities Remedial Preliminary
Assessment Summary Guide, 2005 and the Federal Facilities Remedial Site
Investigation Summary Guide, 2005.
The facilities listed in each section are organized by state and
then grouped alphabetically within each state by the Federal agency
responsible for the facility. Under each state heading is listed the
name and address of the facility, the Federal agency responsible for
the facility, the statutory provision(s) under which the facility was
reported to EPA, and the correction code(s).
The statutory provisions under which a facility reported are listed
in a column titled ``Reporting Mechanism.'' Applicable mechanisms are
listed for each facility: for example 3010, 3016, and 103(c).
The complete list of Federal facilities that now make up the docket
and the complete list of facilities classified as NFRAP are not being
published today. However, the lists are available to interested parties
and can be obtained at https://www.epa.gov/fedfac by clicking on the
link for Update #21 to the Federal Agency Hazardous Waste Compliance
Docket or by calling the EPA HQ Docket Coordinator at (703) 603-0265.
As of today, the total number of Federal facilities that appear on the
docket is 2,282.
Dated: October 18, 2005.

Director, Federal Facilities Restoration and Reuse Office, Office of
Solid Waste and Emergency Response.
