Therefore, the Department has determined that no further determination of federalism implications is necessary at this time. This final rule does not have tribal implications per E.O. 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments. Therefore, advance consultation with tribes is not required in connection with the final rule.

AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 8 announces the deletion of the remaining portions of Operable Unit 9 (OU9), the Residential Populated Areas, of the California Gulch Superfund Site (Site), located in Lake County, Colorado, from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL, promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is an appendix of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). This partial deletion pertains to the remaining portions of OU9. Operable units 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 11 and 12 will remain on the NPL and are not being considered for deletion as part of this action. The EPA and the State of Colorado, through the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, have determined that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA, other than operation, maintenance, and five-year reviews, have been completed. However, the deletion of these parcels does not preclude future actions under Superfund. SUMMARY: Effective Date: This action is effective September 21, 2011.

A Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion for this Site was published in the Federal Register on May 24, 2011 FR Doc No: 2011–12766. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion was June 23, 2011. Three public comments were received: two requesting continuation of the voluntary investigation/remediation program and one recommending that, because OU12, Site-wide Water Quality, is not ready for deletion, OU9 should not be deleted. The deletion is still appropriate, because all appropriate response actions have been completed, and the operable unit is in operations and maintenance. The current operations and maintenance program, the Lake County Community Health Program Phase 2, provides opportunities for investigation and soil remediation, if the Program’s Work Group determines that lead in residential soil is contributing to an elevated blood lead in a child or pregnant/nursing woman. Under current EPA policy for partial deletion, one operable unit or environmental medium can be deleted irrespective of the readiness for deletion of other operable units or the site as a whole. A responsiveness summary was prepared and placed in both the docket, EPA– HQ–SFUND–1983–002, on https:// www.regulations.gov, and in the local repositories listed above. 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.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 8 announces 
the deletion of the remaining portions of Operable Unit 9 (OU9), the

Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act 
(CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is an appendix of the National Oil and 
Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). This partial 
deletion pertains to the remaining portions of OU9. Operable units 1, 
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 11 and 12 will remain on the NPL and are not being 
considered for deletion as part of this action. The EPA and the State 
of Colorado, through the Colorado Department of Public Health and 
Environment, have determined that all appropriate response actions 
under CERCLA, other than operation, maintenance, and five-year reviews, 
have been completed. However, the deletion of these parcels does not 
preclude future actions under Superfund.

DATES: Effective Date: This action is effective September 21, 2011.

ADDRESSES: Information Repositories: EPA has established a docket for 
this action under Docket Identification No. EPA-HQ-SFUND-1983-0002. All

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The portion of the site to be deleted from 
the NPL is: the remaining portions of OU9 of the California Gulch 
Superfund Site, located in Leadville, Lake County, Colorado. A Notice 
of Intent for Partial Deletion for this Site was published in the 
Federal Register on May 24, 2011 FR Doc No: 2011-12766.
    The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent for Partial 
Deletion was June 23, 2011. Three public comments were received: two 
requesting continuation of the voluntary investigation/remediation 
program and one recommending that, because OU12, Site-wide Water 
Quality, is not ready for deletion, OU9 should not be deleted. The 
deletion is still appropriate, because all appropriate response actions 
have been completed, and the operable unit is in operations and 
maintenance. The current operations and maintenance program, the Lake 
County Community Health Program Phase 2, provides opportunities for 
investigation and soil remediation, if the Program's Work Group 
determines that lead in residential soil is contributing to an elevated 
blood lead in a child or pregnant/nursing woman. Under current EPA 
policy for partial deletion, one operable unit or environmental medium 
can be deleted irrespective of the readiness for deletion of other 
operable units or the site as a whole. A responsiveness summary was 
prepared and placed in both the docket, EPA-HQ-SFUND-1983-002, on 
https://www.regulations.gov, and in the local repositories listed above.
    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.
