FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The site to be deleted from the NPL is: Federal Creosote Superfund Site, Manville, New Jersey. A Notice of Intent to Delete for this Site was published in the Federal Register at 79 FR 12436 on March 5, 2014. The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was April 4, 2014. One comment was received. The comment suggested that a process be established to protect against potential future exposures to subsurface contaminants brought to the surface by redevelopment activities. Deed notices apply adequate restrictions on properties to protect against redevelopment activities that have the potential to deposit contaminated subsurface soils on the land surface. Deed notices, a required component of the selected remedy, have been implemented at the Federal Creosote Superfund Site. The selected remedy, which adequately protects human health and the environment, has been fully implemented and therefore satisfies the deletion criteria of the National Contingency Plan. EPA maintains the NPL as the list of sites that appear to present a significant risk to public health, welfare, or the environment. Deletion 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 a site from the NPL does not affect responsible party liability in the unlikely event that future conditions warrant further actions. ehiers on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:22 Jun 17, 2014 Jkt 232001 List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 300 [EPA–HQ–OPPT–2014–0276; FRL–9910–51] rule must be received on or before July 18, 2014 (see Unit III. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).

State of New Jersey, through the New Jersey Department of Environmental 
Protection, have determined that all appropriate response actions under 
CERCLA, other than long-term groundwater monitoring, and five-year 
reviews, have been completed. However, this deletion does not preclude 
future actions under Superfund.

DATES: This action is effective June 18, 2014.
