SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is: 
Reasor Chemical Company Site in Castle Hayne, North Carolina. 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.
