National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan

National Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Withdrawal of proposed rule.

SUMMARY: On July 29, 2011, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a Notice of Intent to Delete and a Direct Notice of Deletion for the State Marine of Port Arthur (SMPA) Superfund Site from the

National Priorities List. The EPA is withdrawing the Notice of Intent to Delete because the deletion notices were published in the Federal

Register without Headquarter's concurrence as required under the

Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act

Delegation of Authority. After appropriate Headquarters concurrence is received on the Notice of Intent to Delete the SMPA Superfund Site from the National Priorities List, the EPA will re-publish a Notice of

Intent to Delete in the Federal Register.

DATES: The proposed rule published on July 29, 2011, (76 FR 45483) is withdrawn as of September 16, 2011.
