Statutory and Executive Order (EO) Reviews Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and Executive Order 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011), this action is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ and is therefore not subject to OMB review. Because this action is not subject to notice and comment requirements under the Administrative Procedures Act or any other statute, it is not subject to the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) or Sections 202 and 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1999 (UMRA) (Pub. L. 104–4). In addition, this action does not significantly or uniquely affect small governments. This action does not create new binding legal requirements that substantially and directly affect Tribes under Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This action does not have significant Federalism implications under Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999). Because this final rule has been exempted from review under Executive Order 12866, this final rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211, entitled Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001) or Executive Order 13045, entitled Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997). This final rule does not contain any information collections subject to OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., nor does it require any special considerations under Executive Order 12898, entitled Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). This action does not involve technical standards; thus, the requirements of Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply. Congressional Review Act The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally provides that before certain actions may take effect, the agency promulgating the action must submit a report, which includes a copy of the action, to each House of the Congress and to the VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:24 Apr 07, 2015 Jkt 235001 Comptroller General of the United States. This action is subject to the CRA, and the EPA will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is: 
Midvale Slag Superfund Site (Site), located in Salt Lake County, Utah. 
A Notice of Intent to Delete for this Site was published in the Federal 
Register (80 FR 6496) on February 5, 2015.
    The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was 
March 9, 2015. One public comment was received. The comment requested 
that the Site not be deleted over concerns that water quality in the 
Jordan River would not be protected from the potential release of 
hazardous substances from the Kennecott North and Kennecott South 
Sites. The EPA believes the deletion action is appropriate as the 
remediation goals for this Site have been met and the water monitoring 
data shows that the Jordan River is not being adversely affected by 
this Site. A responsiveness summary was prepared and placed in both the 
docket, EPA-HQ-SFUND EPA-HQ-SFUND-1991-0006, on www.regulations.gov, 
and in the local repository 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 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
