L. 104–4); • Do not have Federalism implications as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999); • Are not economically significant regulatory actions based on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); • Are not significant regulatory actions subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001); • Are not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent with the CAA; and • Do not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). In addition, this proposed rule does not have Tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in the State, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct costs on Tribal governments or preempt Tribal law.

ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 5 is issuing a Notice of intent of Partial Deletion of the following two parcels of the Tar Lake Site Superfund (Site) located in Mancelona, Michigan from the National Priorities List (NPL): the non-East Tailings Area (ETA) part of property PIN 05–11–129–006–00 (41.4 acres); and the non-ETA part of property PIN 05–11– 129–007–00 (33.63 acres) and requests public comments on this proposed action. 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). EPA and the State of Michigan, through the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, have determined that all appropriate response actions at these two parcels under CERCLA have been completed. However, this deletion does not preclude future actions under Superfund. This partial deletion pertains only to the two property PINs listed above. The deletion of these two parcels from the Site affects all surface soils, subsurface soils, structures and groundwater within the boundaries of these parcels. In 2005, the ETA, approximately 45.49 acres, in the northeastern part of the Site, was deleted from the NPL when EPA determined that the ETA was acceptable for unrestricted use and unlimited exposure (UU/UE). The two parcels being proposed for deletion are adjacent to and south of the ETA. The current remaining areas of the Site will remain on the NPL and are not being considered for deletion as part of this action. SUMMARY: Comments must be received by December 12, 2011.

National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan 
National Priorities List: Partial Deletion of the Tar Lake Superfund 
Site

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 5 is issuing 
a Notice of intent of Partial Deletion of the following two parcels of 
the Tar Lake Site Superfund (Site) located in Mancelona, Michigan from 
the National Priorities List (NPL): the non-East Tailings Area (ETA) 
part of property PIN 05-11-129-006-00 (41.4 acres); and the non-ETA 
part of property PIN 05-11-129-007-00 (33.63 acres) and requests public 
comments on this proposed action. 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). 
EPA and the State of Michigan, through the Michigan Department of 
Environmental Quality, have determined that all appropriate response 
actions at these two parcels under CERCLA have been completed. However, 
this deletion does not preclude future actions under Superfund.
    This partial deletion pertains only to the two property PINs listed 
above. The deletion of these two parcels from the Site affects all 
surface soils, subsurface soils, structures and groundwater within the 
boundaries of these parcels. In 2005, the ETA, approximately 45.49 
acres, in the northeastern part of the Site, was deleted from the NPL 
when EPA determined that the ETA was acceptable for unrestricted use 
and unlimited exposure (UU/UE). The two parcels being proposed for 
deletion are adjacent to and south of the ETA. The current remaining 
areas of the Site will remain on the NPL and are not being considered 
for deletion as part of this action.
