Environmental Protection Agency August 5, 2019 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 2 is publishing a direct final notice of deletion of the Ellenville Scrap Iron and Metal Superfund Site, located in the Village of Ellenville, Town of Wawarsing, Ulster County, New York, from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL, promulgated pursuant to Section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (CERCLA), is an appendix of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). This direct final deletion is being published by EPA with the concurrence of the State of New York, through the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), because EPA has determined that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA, other operation and maintenance, monitoring, and five-year reviews, have been completed. However, this deletion does not preclude future response actions under Superfund.

In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), this document announces that EPA is planning to submit two Information Collection Requests (ICRs) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The first ICR is entitled: ``TSCA Existing Chemical Risk Evaluation and Management; Generic ICR for Interview and Focus Groups'' and is identified by EPA ICR No. 2584.01 and OMB Control No. 2070- [NEW]. The second ICR is entitled: ``TSCA Existing Chemical Risk Evaluation and Management; Generic ICR for Surveys'' and is identified by EPA ICR No. 2585.01 and OMB Control No. 2070-[NEW]. Both ICRs are new requests. Before submitting these ICRs to OMB for review and approval, EPA is soliciting comments on specific aspects of the information collection activities that are summarized in this document. The ICRs and accompanying material are available for public review and comment in the relevant dockets identified in this document for the ICRs.
