Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of partial deletion of sites
from the Otis Air National Guard Base/
Camp Edwards Superfund Site from the
National Priorities List.

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: EPA New England Region
(EPA) announces the deletion of 61
source area sites on the Otis Air
National Guard Base/Camp Edwards
Superfund Site from the National
Priorities List (NPL). All 61 source area
sites as listed in Table 1 were originally
proposed for deletion (72 FR 41976)
August 1, 2007, and encompass a total
acreage of 482.1 acres. A source area site
is defined by: soil; structures, if present;
and does not include any contaminated
groundwater plume that may be below
the site. Otis Air National Guard Base/
Camp Edwards is a Federal Facility
Superfund Site known locally as the
Massachusetts Military Reservation
(MMR), so this notice will use MMR as
the abbreviation to describe the entire
Superfund Site. The United States Air
Force is the lead agency at the MMR
Superfund Site.
This partial deletion pertains to only
the surface area of sites investigated
(and in some cases cleaned-up) for soil
contamination, and does not pertain to
any of the 12 groundwater plumes
associated with MMR Superfund Site.
All other sites (including all
contaminated groundwater plumes on
the Site) not included in this notice will
remain on the NPL. In the northern half
of the MMR, there are source area sites

and groundwater plumes associated
with an investigation and cleanup
program known as the Impact Area
Groundwater Study Program which is
being conducted under the authority of
Safe Drinking Water Act Administrative
Orders. These sites and groundwater
plumes are not the subject of this partial
deletion.
DATES: This partial deletion of the 61
source area sites on MMR is effective on
October 26, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Otis Air
National Guard Base/Camp Edwards is
a Federal Facility Superfund Site known
locally as the Massachusetts Military
Reservation (MMR), so this notice will
use MMR as the abbreviation to describe
the entire Superfund Site. MMR is
located in portions of the towns of
Bourne, Falmouth, Mashpee, and
Sandwich.
This partial deletion pertains to the
soil and, if present, structures at 61 sites
ranging in size from half an acre to 80.7
acres. The total proposed area is 482.1
acres. Table 1 identifies structures as
being present with an asterisk next to
the site name. There would be 19 source
area sites remaining. Even though some
of the sites appear to be above
contaminated groundwater plumes, this
partial deletion does not include any
plumes of contaminated groundwater
because data shows that the sites are not
related to the plumes. Currently eleven
groundwater pump and treat cleanup
remedies will continue operating until
cleanup goals are met. In the northern
half of MMR, there is a separate,
ongoing investigation and cleanup
program known as the Impact Area
Groundwater Study Program (IAGWSP).
These sites and groundwater plumes are
not the subject of this Notice of Intent
for Partial Deletion.

On August 1, 2007, EPA published a
Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion in
the Federal Register (72 FR 41976). EPA
did not receive any comments on this
proposal; therefore a Responsiveness
Summary has not been prepared.
EPA identifies sites that appear to
present a significant risk to public
health, welfare, or the environment and
maintains the NPL as the list of those
sites. Any site deleted from the NPL
remains eligible for Fund-financed
actions in the unlikely event that
conditions at the site warrant such
action. Section 300.425(e)(3) of the NCP
states that Fund-financed actions may
be taken at sites deleted from the NPL.
Deletion of a site from the NPL does not
affect responsible party liability or
impede Agency efforts to recover costs
associated with response efforts. This
partial deletion does not alter the status
of all the remaining sites and
groundwater plumes of the MMR Site
which are not proposed for partial
deletion and remain on the NPL.

I. Background
BILLING CODE 6560–50–P
FR Doc. 07–1435 of March 30, 2007
(72 FR 15198) contained a technical
error that this rule serves to identify and
correct. In amending subpart E of part
482, we inadvertently omitted existing
§§ 482.60, 482.61, 482.62, and 482.66.
Our intention was to retain these
sections, which address psychiatric
hospitals and ‘‘swing-bed’’ hospitals,
without change.

inadvertently omitted existing
§§ 482.60, 482.61, 482.62, and 482.66.

ACTION: Final rule; correcting

AGENCY:
On March 30, 2007, we
published a final rule entitled
‘‘Medicare Program; Hospital
Conditions of Participation:
Requirements for Approval and ReApproval of Transplant Centers to
Perform Organ Transplants.’’ The
effective date was June 28, 2007. This
correcting amendment corrects a
technical error identified in the March
30, 2007 final rule.
DATES: Effective Date: This correcting
amendment is effective October 26,
2007.

III. Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking
and Delayed Effective Date
We ordinarily publish a notice of
proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register to provide a period for public
comment before the provisions of a
notice such as this take effect in
accordance with section 553(b) of the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 553(b)). We also ordinarily
provide a 30-day delay in the effective
date of the provisions of a rule in
accordance with section 553(d) of the
APA (5 U.S.C. 553(d)). However, we can
waive both the notice and comment
procedure and the 30-day delay in
effective date if the Secretary finds, for
PO 00000

good cause, that a notice and comment
process and a 30-day delay in effective
date are impracticable, unnecessary, or
contrary to the public interest, and
incorporates a statement of the finding
and the reasons therefore in the notice.
We find for good cause that it is
unnecessary to undertake notice and
comment rulemaking because this final
rule merely provides technical
corrections to the regulations. We are
not making any changes to our existing
regulations, but reinstating provisions
that have previously been approved and
were unintentionally omitted from the
final rule that appeared in the March 30,
2007 Federal Register (72 FR 15198).
Therefore, we believe that undertaking
further notice and comment procedures
to incorporate these corrections into the
update notice is unnecessary and
contrary to the public interest.
Further, we believe a delayed
effective date is unnecessary because
this correcting amendment merely
reinstates provisions already approved
and in effect. Therefore, we find good
cause to waive notice and comment
procedures, as well as the 30-day delay
in effective date.
