National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; National Priorities List: Partial Deletion of the Rocky Mountain Arsenal Federal Facility, 55479-55480 [2010-22747]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 176 / Monday, September 13, 2010 / Rules and Regulations Energy Effects We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ‘‘significant energy action’’ under that order because it is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects under Executive Order 13211. The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress, through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies. This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards. srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with RULES Environment We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security Management Directive 023–01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and have concluded this action is one of a category of actions which do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2–1, paragraph (34)(g), of the Instruction. This rule involves the establishment of a safety zone and is therefore categorically excluded under paragraph 34(g) of the Instruction. A final environmental analysis check list and categorical exclusion determination are available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. 16:11 Sep 10, 2010 PART 165—REGULATED NAVIGATION AREAS AND LIMITED ACCESS AREAS 1.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The portion of the site to be deleted from 
the NPL is the surface media (soil, surface water, sediment) and 
structures (both former structures that have been demolished and 
structures retained for future use) within the CES and the surface 
media of the entire OPS. A Notice of Intent for partial Deletion for 
this Site was published in the Federal Register on June 17, 2010. The 
RMA Site-Specific Advisory Board (SSAB) requested additional time to 
adequately review the documentation. The public comment period for the 
NOIDp was extended through August 16, 2010 (75 FR 42361).
    EPA received comment letters from seven organizations/individuals. 
Authors of five of the letters voiced their support for proceeding with 
the partial deletion based upon their confidence in the thoroughness of 
the cleanup activities conducted by the U.S. Army and Shell Oil 
Company; though one letter, from the Audubon Society of Greater Denver, 
was received after the public comment period closed. Authors of the 
remaining two letters were opposed to the proposed partial deletion of 
the CES and OPS. All public comments and EPA's responses are included 
in a Responsiveness Summary document available in both the docket, EPA-
HQ-SFUND-1987-0002, at https://www.regulations.gov and in the local

and in consultation with the State of Colorado through CDPHE, EPA has 
determined that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA, other

and it is appropriate to proceed with deletion of the CES and the OPS.
    EPA maintains the NPL as the list of sites that appear to present a 
significant risk to public health, welfare, or the environment. 
Deletion of a site from the NPL does not preclude further remedial 
action. Whenever there is a significant release from a site deleted 
from the NPL, the deleted site may be restored to the NPL without 
application of the hazard ranking system. Deletion of portions of a 
site from the NPL does not affect responsible party liability, in the 
unlikely event that future conditions warrant further actions.
