Therefore, the proposal to add the five sites listed in the list that follows to the National Priorities List previously proposed at 58 FR 27507 (May 10, 1993), 65 FR 30489, (May 11, 20000) and 65 FR 75215, December 1, 2000) is hereby withdrawn effective April 30, 2021. Site-specific basis for de-proposal Significant progress has been and continues to be made and there is no current risk to human health at the site. The responsible party, Raytheon Technologies, will continue to address the site under the ongoing oversight of the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CTDEEP) in accordance with state laws. Further documentation may be found in https://www.regulations.gov using Docket number EPA–HQ–SFUND–2000–0004. The United States Air Force is performing, and will continue to perform, cleanup activities at the site pursuant to their authority under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) with oversight being conducted by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA). IEPA has been, and will continue to be, the lead agency responsible for overseeing the cleanup and will take or ensure appropriate action through a deferral, enforcement, or other agreement. Further documentation may be found in https://www.regulations.gov using Docket number EPA–HQ–SFUND–2000–0004. Operable Unit (OU) #16, the only portion of this site proposed for addition to the NPL, is only one of the 22 OUs that comprise the site. The remaining 21 OUs are being successfully addressed by the responsible parties with oversight by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) as the lead for cleanup. The State of Ohio through OEPA has agreed to incorporate OU #16 as additional site work under their existing cleanup authority. Through a consent order, OEPA will pursue the monitoring and remedy continuation with the responsible party for the entirety of OU #16 to ensure a unified, site-wide remedy. Further documentation may be found in https://www.regulations.gov using Docket number EPA–HQ–SFUND–1993–0003. The responsible party, Hudson Technologies, Inc. (HTI), signed an Order on Consent with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) agreeing to operate the remediation system and perform monthly testing at the facility until remaining groundwater contamination has been effectively abated. The treatment system is preventing any off-site migration from occurring. HTI has implemented appropriate response actions and no further Superfund response is required other than continued operation and maintenance (O&M) of the treatment system. Further documentation may be found in https://www.regulations.gov using Docket number EPA–HQ–SFUND–2000–0007. The Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) has, and will continue to, ensure all appropriate investigations and cleanup actions are performed pursuant to its state cleanup authority. Cleanup activities continue to be successfully implemented by the responsible party, pursuant to two agreed orders between the responsible party and the state. The main source of contamination was remediated through source removal and no human or ecological exposure pathways remain. The remedy at the site is protective of human health and the environment.

For the latest status information on EPA/DC services and docket access, visit https:// www.epa.gov/dockets. You may be potentially affected by this action if you manufacture, process, or use the chemical substances contained in this proposed rule. The following list of North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a guide to help readers determine whether this document applies to them. Potentially affected entities may include: • Manufacturers or processors of one or more subject chemical substances (NAICS codes 325 and 324110), e.g., chemical manufacturing and petroleum refineries. This action may also affect certain entities through pre-existing import certification and export notification rules under TSCA. Chemical importers are subject to the TSCA section 13 (15 U.S.C. 2612) import provisions. This action may also affect certain entities through pre-existing import certification and export notification rules under TSCA, which would include the SNUR requirements should these proposed rules be finalized. The EPA policy in support of import certification appears at 40 CFR part 707, subpart B. In addition, pursuant to 40 CFR 721.20, any persons who export or intend to export a chemical substance that is the subject of this proposed rule on or after June 1, 2021 are subject to the export notification provisions of TSCA section 12(b) (15 U.S.C. 2611(b)) and must comply with the export notification requirements in 40 CFR part 707, subpart D. PO 00000 Frm 00014 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA? 1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit CBI to EPA through regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or CD– ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD–ROM the specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2. 2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting your comments, see the commenting tips at https://www.epa.gov/dockets/ commenting-epa-dockets. II. Background A. What action is the Agency taking? EPA is proposing these SNURs under TSCA section 5(a)(2) for chemical substances which are the subjects of PMNs P–19–82, P–20–76, and P–20–94. These proposed SNURs would require persons who intend to manufacture or process any of these chemical substances for an activity that is designated as a significant new use to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that activity. The record for these proposed SNURs, identified as docket ID number EPA– HQ–OPPT–2020–0581, includes information considered by the Agency in developing these proposed SNURs. B. What is the Agency’s authority for taking this action? TSCA section 5(a)(2) (15 U.S.C. 2604(a)(2)) authorizes EPA to determine that a use of a chemical substance is a ‘‘significant new use.’’ EPA must make this determination by rule after considering all relevant factors, including the four TSCA section 5(a)(2) factors listed in Unit III. C. Do the SNUR general provisions apply? General provisions for SNURs appear in 40 CFR part 721, subpart A. These provisions describe persons subject to the rule, recordkeeping requirements, exemptions to reporting requirements, and applicability of the rule to uses occurring before the effective date of the rule. Provisions relating to user fees appear at 40 CFR part 700. Pursuant to E:\FR\FM\30APP1.SGM 30APP1

National Priorities List for Uncontrolled Hazardous Waste Sites; 
Partial Withdrawal of Proposed Rules

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rules; partial withdrawal.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is partially 
withdrawing three previous proposed rules which proposed to add five 
sites to the Superfund National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL is the 
list of sites of national priority among the known releases or 
threatened releases of hazardous substances, pollutants, or 
contaminants throughout the United States and its territories. The NPL 
is intended primarily to guide the EPA in determining which sites 
warrant further investigation.

DATES: The proposed rules to add these five sites to the NPL previously 
published at 58 FR 27507 (May 10, 1993), 65 FR 30489 (May 11, 2000) and 
65 FR 75215 (December 1, 2000) are partially withdrawn effective April 
30, 2021.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Terry Jeng, phone: (703) 603-8852, 
email: [email protected], Site Assessment and Remedy Decisions Branch, 
Assessment and Remediation Division, Office of Superfund Remediation 
and Technology Innovation (Mailcode 5204P), U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20460.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA proposes sites be placed on the NPL via 
a proposed rulemaking published in the Federal Register. Following a 
public comment period, most sites are added to the NPL. However, there 
exists a small subset of sites that have been proposed to the NPL but 
never added. These sites remain proposed until a decision is made to 
either withdraw the proposal or add the site to the NPL.
    By withdrawing proposals to list sites where listing is no longer 
appropriate, EPA can reduce the backlog of proposed sites and focus 
essential resources elsewhere. Once cleanup goals are attained or the 
determination is made that the site does not pose a significant threat 
to human health or the environment, it is not necessary to continue the 
listing process; thus,

preserving the NPL for the highest priority sites.
    To facilitate the proposed rule withdrawal process, EPA issued its 
de-proposal policy, Guidelines for Withdrawing a Proposal to List a 
Site on the NPL on November 12, 2002. The policy states that in order 
to qualify for de-proposal, EPA should provide adequate rationale that 
the site generally either meets deletion-equivalent criteria and no 
further response under Superfund is appropriate or EPA should explain 
why such criteria are not applicable to the decision to withdraw the 
proposal. The Superfund Program Implementation Manual (SPIM) clarifies 
that de-proposal criteria includes documented deferral or referral of a 
proposed site to another cleanup authority.
    The deletion provisions (40 CFR 300.425(e)) state that releases may 
be deleted from the NPL where no further response is appropriate. 
Further, in determining whether a release should be deleted, EPA 
considers whether any of the following criteria has been met:
     Responsible or other parties have implemented all 
appropriate response actions required;
     All appropriate Fund-financed response under CERCLA has 
been implemented, and no further response action by responsible parties 
is appropriate; or,
     The remedial investigation has shown that the release 
poses no significant threat to public health or the environment, and, 
therefore, taking of remedial measures is not appropriate.
    EPA is partially withdrawing three previously proposed rules which 
proposed adding the following five sites to the NPL. All five of the 
sites meet EPA's de-proposal criteria. Documentation to support EPA's 
decision to de-propose these sites can be found in each of the site 
dockets at https://www.regulations.gov.
    Therefore, the proposal to add the five sites listed in the list 
that follows to the National Priorities List previously proposed at 58 
FR 27507 (May 10, 1993), 65 FR 30489, (May 11, 20000) and 65 FR 75215, 
December 1, 2000) is hereby withdrawn effective April 30, 2021.
