ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA)Region 4 announces the deletion of the Reasor Chemical Company Superfund Site
(Site)located in Castle Hayne, North Carolina, from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL, promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is an appendix of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and the State of North Carolina, through the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, have determined that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA have been completed. However, this deletion does not preclude future actions under Superfund. DATES: This action is effective September 25, 2018. ADDRESSES: *Docket:* EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket Identification No. EPA-HQ-SFUND-2002-0001.

A Notice of Intent to Delete for this Site was published in the **Federal Register** (83 FR 36844) on July 31, 2018. The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was August 30, 2018. One public comment was received. EPA believes this is not a site-specific adverse comment opposing the rule-making. EPA believes it is still appropriate to delete the site, and will proceed with the deletion action. A responsiveness summary was prepared and placed in both the docket, EPA-HQ-SFUND-2002-0001, on *www.regulations.gov,* and in the local repositories 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 conditions warrant further actions.
