not preclude future actions under CERCLA.
    This partial deletion pertains to 101 residential parcels. The

for deletion as part of this action.

DATES: This action is effective August 28, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The portion of the site to be deleted from 
the NPL are 101 residential parcels of the Omaha Lead Superfund site, 
Omaha, Nebraska. A Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion for this Site 
was published in the Federal Register (83 FR 29731) on June 26, 2018.
    The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent for Partial 
Deletion was July 26, 2018. One public comment was received which was 
not site-related and EPA has determined it will proceed with the 
partial deletion.
    EPA maintains the NPL as the list of sites that appear to present a 
significant risk to public health, welfare, or the environment. 
Deletion of a site 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 portions of a 
site from the NPL does not affect responsible party liability, in the 
unlikely event that future conditions warrant further actions.
