I. Introduction

    EPA Region 5 is publishing this direct final Notice of Deletion of
the A & F Material Reclaiming, Inc. Superfund Site from the National
Priorities List (NPL). The NPL constitutes Appendix B of 40 CFR part
300, which is the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution
Contingency Plan (NCP), which EPA promulgated pursuant to Section 105
of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended. EPA maintains the NPL as the list of
sites that appear to present a significant risk to public health,
welfare, or the environment. Sites on the NPL may be the subject of
remedial actions financed by the Hazardous Substance Superfund (Fund).
As described in 300.425(e)(3) of the NCP, sites deleted from the NPL
remain eligible for Fund-financed remedial actions if future conditions
warrant such actions.
    Because EPA considers this action to be noncontroversial and
routine, this action will be effective June 11, 2012 unless EPA
receives adverse comments by May 14, 2012. Along with this direct final
Notice of Deletion, EPA is co-publishing a Notice of Intent to Delete
in the ``Proposed Rules'' section of the Federal Register. If adverse
comments are received within the 30-day public comment period on this
deletion action, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of this direct
final Notice of Deletion before the effective date of the deletion, and
the deletion will not take effect. EPA will, as appropriate, prepare a
response to comments and continue with the deletion process on the
basis of the Notice of Intent to Delete and the comments already
received. There will be no additional opportunity to comment.
    Section II of this document explains the criteria for deleting
sites from the NPL. Section III discusses procedures that EPA is using
for this action. Section IV discusses the A & F Material Reclaiming,
Inc. Superfund Site and demonstrates how it meets the deletion
criteria. Section V discusses EPA's action to delete the Site from the
NPL unless adverse comments are received during the public comment
period.

II. NPL Deletion Criteria

    The NCP establishes the criteria that EPA uses to delete sites from
the NPL. In accordance with 40 CFR 300.425(e), sites may be deleted
from the NPL where no further response is appropriate. In making such a
determination pursuant to 40 CFR 300.425(e), EPA will consider, in
consultation with the State, whether any of the following criteria have
been met:
    1. Responsible parties or other persons have implemented all
appropriate response actions required;
    2. All appropriate Fund-financed response under CERCLA has been
implemented, and no further response action by responsible parties is
appropriate; or
    3. The remedial investigation has shown that the release poses no
significant threat to public health or the environment and, therefore,
the taking of remedial measures is not appropriate.

III. Deletion Procedures

    The following procedures apply to deletion of the Site:
    1. EPA consulted with the State of Illinois prior to developing
this direct final Notice of Deletion and the Notice of Intent to Delete
co-published today in the ``Proposed Rules'' section of the Federal
Register.
    2. EPA has provided the State with 30 working days for review of
this notice and the parallel Notice of Intent to Delete prior to their
publication today, and the State, through IEPA, has concurred on the
deletion of the Site from the NPL.
    3. Concurrently with the publication of this direct final Notice of
Deletion, a notice of the availability of the parallel Notice of Intent
to Delete is being published in a major local newspaper, the Times
Courier News, located in Charleston, Illinois. The newspaper notice
announces the 30-day public comment period concerning the Notice

of Intent to Delete the Site from the NPL.
    4. EPA placed copies of documents supporting the proposed deletion
in the deletion docket and made these items available for public
inspection and copying at the Site information repositories identified
above.
    5. If adverse comments are received within the 30-day public
comment period on this deletion action, EPA will publish a timely
notice of withdrawal of this direct final Notice of Deletion before its
effective date and will prepare a response to comments and continue
with the deletion process on the basis of the Notice of Intent to
Delete and the comments already received.
    Deletion of a site from the NPL does not itself create, alter, or
revoke any individual's rights or obligations. Deletion of a site from
the NPL does not in any way alter EPA's right to take enforcement
actions, as appropriate. The NPL is designed primarily for
informational purposes and to assist EPA management. Section
300.425(e)(3) of the NCP states that the deletion of a site from the
NPL does not preclude eligibility for future response actions, should
future conditions warrant such actions.

IV. Basis for Site Deletion

    The following information provides EPA's rationale for deleting the
Site from the NPL:

Site Background and History

    The A & F Material Reclaiming, Inc. Superfund Site (CERCLIS
ID ILD980397079) is located on approximately four acres of
land on the western border of the Village of Greenup, in east-central
Illinois. The Site, which lies on the west side of the village, is
bounded by open farmland and woodland, the local wastewater treatment
plant, and private residences; fairgrounds lie to the southwest. The
Site has a slope toward the Embarras River, which lies about 600 feet
to the north. Drainage from the Site reaches the river by way of a
ditch along a former railroad right-of-way west of the Site and east of
the municipal wastewater treatment plant. The local wastewater
treatment plant has several lagoons and the plant discharges the
treated water into the ditch along the railroad right-of-way.
    Three distinct aquifers exit at the Site: Alluvium till, present at
or near ground surface; sand and gravel, present at shallow depths
below ground surface, and bedrock. The shallow aquifer is a poor water
producer and is not used as a source of water supply. However, it does
furnish recharge to the underlying sand and gravel. The alluvium forms
an essentially level surface and contains groundwater at shallow depths
in the range of 8 to 12 feet below grade. According to the measured
water levels, groundwater flow is directed downslope to the west and
north of the Site. No private wells have been found north or west of
the Site. The sand and gravel outwash aquifer is a regionally
significant unit which is present beneath the entire Site and receives
recharge from the overlying alluvium. In the outwash sand and gravel
aquifer, groundwater flow is generally downslope from the highlands
east of the Site, and flow in the level section of the study area is
directed northward toward the Embarras River. Discharge is also
directed toward the Embarras River. The bedrock aquifer is not
significant in the area of the Site. Water contained in the fractured
section of the Pennsylvanian bedrock is present under strong artesian
conditions. Recharge of the bedrock aquifer probably occurs from
overlying units located elsewhere where water levels are higher than
those observed in the study area. Based upon water level data from the
remedial investigation, neither of the unconsolidated aquifers
encountered on-site discharges to the drainage ditch. The lagoons
constructed on site during operation of the facility were excavated
into the unsaturated portion of the alluvial aquifer.
    The historic use of the Site has been for industrial purposes.
However, there have not been any industrial activities at the Site
since the facility closed in 1980. The A & F Material Reclaiming
facility began operations in March 1977 as a recycling plant. The
facility processed waste materials such as oil, sludge, caustics, and
sulfuric acid into fuel oil and fire retardant chemicals. There were
numerous violations of the operating permits issued by IEPA. Within a
year of operating, four storage lagoons overflowed, contaminating the
surrounding soil and water drainage pathway to the Embarras River. In
addition, some of the steel storage tanks failed on several occasions,
releasing their contents on the Site. These tanks held mixtures of
waste oils, sludges, spent caustics, spent acids, contaminated water,
and other waster products. Present land use for the surrounding area is
residential, commercial, and recreational (fairgrounds are located
southwest of the Site). Currently no groundwater underlying the Site is
used as a drinking water source.
    From December 1980 through December 1982 there were several removal
actions at the Site in which contaminated soils, sediments, tank, and
buildings were removed and disposed off site. These actions included
lowering the level of waste in the lagoons, diking, trenching, and
removing drums and wastes off site. In addition, a temporary cap was
placed over a portion of the consolidated sludge on site.
    In December 1982 the Site was included on the Proposed NPL (47 FR
58476). The Site was finalized on the NPL on September 8, 1983 (48 FR
40674). In November 1983 an Initial Remedial Measure was implemented to
address remaining site contaminants in tanks and drums. The remaining
on-site waste included approximately 153,000 gallons of contaminated
liquids in tanks, 16,000 gallons of contaminated oil in tanks, and 20
drums with unknown contents. All tank liquids, oils, and drums were
disposed off site at an approved facility through the Initial Remedial
Measure.
    On September 12, 1984, a Partial Consent Decree was entered into by
four of the potentially responsible parties, which outlined a remedial
action plan that included a phased approach for cleaning up the Site.
The first phase included the remedial investigation and the feasibility
study; the second phase was an immediate removal action to address the
threatened release of contaminates from the two lagoons; the third
phase involved removal and disposal of contaminated soils and
sediments, removal and disposal of the building and equipment, final
site grading, air monitoring, and site security; and the final phase of
the remedial action plan involved closure and groundwater monitoring
requirements.

Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study

    The remedial investigation report did not include a formal baseline
risk assessment. Since the lagoon sludge, wastewater, oil, and tank
waste were removed under the Interim Remedial Measure, they posed no
environmental impacts or adverse health effects to the neighboring
community. The primary concerns associated with the Site were from
ingestion or direct contact exposures to the soil, sediment,
groundwater, and surface water. Soils in the area of the tank farm were
contaminated and posed an environmental threat. Several sediment
samples taken from the drainage ditch showed low levels of polynuclear
aromatic hydrocarbons, but sediments from the river did not have any
substantial contamination. Neither the

drainage ditch nor the river showed any contamination above background
levels.
    Data from groundwater monitoring wells showed elevated levels of
sulfate, total dissolved solids (TDS), and oil and grease.
Additionally, several metals were detected at levels higher than
background and in some cases higher than the IEPA standard for
groundwater. Because of the dilution effect between the groundwater and
surface water, it was expected that the contaminated groundwater would
not cause contamination in the river. Also, the planned removal of
contaminated materials from the Site would remove the primary source of
contamination to the groundwater. The remedial investigation concluded
there was a high flow rate through the sand and gravel aquifer, which
would allow for rapid flushing of any residual contaminants.

Selected Remedy

    1985 and 1986 Enforcement Decision Document (EDD) Findings:
    EPA issued an EDD for Operable Unit 1 (OU1) on June 14, 1985 that
addressed the soil, sediments, building, and equipment. The goal of
this remedy was to remove soils found with contamination above action
levels for site contaminants of concern (COCs) and to remove on-site
buildings in order to protect public health, welfare, and the
environment. The remedy for OU1 included:
     All soils, surface and subsurface, contaminated above the
recommended action levels were to be removed and disposed at an off-
site facility;
     Facility equipment and building structures were to be
cleaned, dismantled, removed, and disposed at an off-site facility;
     Site grading to eliminate ponding;
     Maintenance of a vegetative cover to prevent erosion; and
     Groundwater monitoring to confirm that no further soil
removal was required.
    On August 14, 1986 EPA issued an EDD for Operable Unit 2 (OU2) that
addressed groundwater. The goal of this remedy was to restore
groundwater to below Maximum Concentration Levels (MCLs) in order to
protect public health, welfare, and the environment. The remedy for OU2
included:
     Establishing a groundwater monitoring program to test
whether all residual groundwater contamination remaining after the
cleanup would steadily decrease to safe levels by natural dilution and
purging to the Embarras River without causing violation of the water
quality standards of the river;
     Establishing adequate institutional controls so that
drinking water wells are not placed in the contaminated groundwater
areas during the period of natural dilution and purging; and
     Establishing procedures for regular review of monitoring
data until safe levels are reached or data contradicting the
feasibility study conclusions demonstrates the need to reevaluate the
remedy.
    2010 ESD Findings:
    On May 24, 2010 an Explanation of Significant Differences (ESD) was
signed by EPA. The purpose of the ESD was to eliminate iron, manganese,
sulfate, and TDS as site contaminants of concern from the groundwater
cleanup remedy selected in the 1986 EDD for OU2. These contaminants
were removed because the action levels for these four parameters are
secondary MCLs, which are non-enforceable guidelines regulating
contaminants that may cause cosmetic or aesthetic effects in drinking
water. Furthermore, review of groundwater data by EPA concluded that
these constituents are naturally occurring, do not pose a risk to human
health and the environment, and are stable or decreasing in
concentration.

    With the implementation of the OU1 remedy, an additional 1,600 tons
of soil and sludge, 1,300 cubic yards of polychlorinated biphenyl
(PCB)-contaminated soil, and a process building with contaminated
equipment were removed from the Site. The soils remaining on site were
sampled and analyzed prior to placing clean fill over the area. All
compounds analyzed for, including PCBs, were at non-detectable limits.
Only phenols and benzoic acid were detected in two pocket areas, but
the detected levels were below action levels. Soil and sediment action
levels in the 1985 EDD for OU1 remain protective. Any remaining
residual soil or sediment contamination are at levels comparable to
concentrations found naturally in the environment and do not present
any environmental or public health risks. The entire area was then
filled with clean soil, graded, and vegetated.
    The groundwater monitoring program was agreed to by the Consenting
Defendants in 1988 and documented in the August 1988 Remedial Action
Plan as required by the August 14, 1986 EDD for OU2. EPA approved the
design, including plans and specifications for well placement, project
health and safety plan, and quality assurance project plan in May 1990.
Well construction was completed, and a final inspection was conducted
on July 9, 1990.
    EPA signed the Preliminary Close-Out Report, documenting that all
construction activities for the final operable unit at the Site had
been completed on September 24, 1992. In 2000, as part of the
institutional controls requirements for the Site, Cumberland County and
the Village of Greenup adopted ordinances restricting groundwater use
on approximately 68 acres that include the A & F Material Reclaiming
Site and some surrounding areas. The ordinances were intended to
prevent contact and use of the contaminated groundwater at and near the
Site until groundwater quality reaches safe levels, in accordance with
the 1986 EDD for OU2.
    With the signing of the May 24, 2010 ESD, all groundwater cleanup
levels have been attained and groundwater monitoring is no longer
required. The 1986 EDD for OU2 specified that ``institutional controls
will be required until groundwater quality returns to background levels
or below the State and Federal criteria shown in Table 2'' (Table 1).
Because groundwater cleanup levels have been attained, EPA no longer
requires that institutional controls be maintained at the Site.

Cleanup Goals

    Under the August 1988 Remedial Action Plan required by the August
14, 1986 EDD for OU2, several additional monitoring wells were
installed and a few existing wells were abandoned. Twenty parameters
listed in the 1986 EDD for OU2 (Table 1) were to be periodically
monitored until their concentrations dropped below the action levels
specified in the EDD. The action levels were based upon MCLs and
secondary MCLs of the Safe Drinking Water Act. Elimination of a
parameter in a given well could occur when that parameter had not been
detected above the action limits per the procedures in the August 1988
Remedial Action Plan.

Note: Toxicity, Conductivity, and Aluminum were listed but were not
  given an action level and were not included in the long-term
  monitoring plan.

    Between 1990 and 1999 sixteen of the twenty monitoring parameters
were eliminated as their concentrations had dropped below their
respective action levels. Following the March 1999 sampling event, only
four of the original twenty parameters were monitored: Iron, manganese,
sulfate, and TDS. These parameters were eliminated as site contaminants
of concern in the 2010 ESD. With the elimination of the four remaining
site contaminants of concern, the action levels identified in the 1986
EDD for OU2 for these contaminants are no longer applicable or relevant
and appropriate. Therefore, all groundwater cleanup levels have been
attained and groundwater monitoring will no longer be required.
Cumberland County and the Village of Greenup were notified by EPA in
May 2010 that no further groundwater monitoring will be required. As
noted previously, confirmatory soil sampling has indicated that all
compounds sampled and analyzed for yielded either non-detectable levels
or levels that are still below action levels for soil. All monitoring
conducted for surface water and sediments in the Embarras River were
below sediment action levels and surface water quality criteria for all
groundwater parameters listed in the EDD, as modified by the ESD. The
COCs that were listed in the 1985 EDD included the following:
Trichloroethylene, benzene, sulfates, TDS, oil and grease, copper,
silver, zinc, lead, chromium (+6), barium, thallium, phenolics, total
organic halogens, nitrates, chloride, conductivity, nickel, aluminum,
iron, manganese, cadmium, and arsenic.

Operation and Maintenance

    Operation and maintenance activities are no longer required at this
Site.

Five-Year Reviews

    Policy five-year reviews were completed for the A & F Material
Reclaiming Site on September 27, 2000; September 29, 2005; and June 30,
2010. The June 30, 2010 five-year review concluded that the site remedy
was protective of human health and the environment. No issues or
recommendations were identified as part of this review. This five-year
review also concluded that the cleanup goals for soil and groundwater
have been achieved and that hazardous wastes no longer remain on site
that would prohibit unlimited use or unrestricted exposure. Therefore,
five-year reviews are no longer required at the A & F Material
Reclaiming Superfund Site.

Community Involvement

    Public participation activities have been satisfied as required in
CERCLA Section 113(k), 42 U.S.C. 9613(k), and CERCLA Section 117, 42
U.S.C. 9617. Documents in the deletion docket, which EPA relied on for
recommendation of the deletion of this Site from the NPL, are available
to the public in the information repositories and at
www.regulations.gov.

Determination That the Site Meets the Criteria for Deletion in the NCP

    The NCP (40 CFR 300.425(e)) states that a site may be deleted from
the NPL when no further response action is appropriate. EPA, in
consultation with the State of Illinois, has determined that the
responsible parties have implemented all response actions required, and
no further response action by responsible parties is appropriate.

V. Deletion Action

    EPA, with concurrence from the State of Illinois through IEPA, has
determined that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA have been
completed. EPA received concurrence from the State of Illinois on
January 10, 2012. Therefore, EPA is deleting the Site from the NPL.
    Because EPA considers this action to be noncontroversial and
routine, EPA is taking it without prior publication. This action will
be effective June 11, 2012 unless EPA receives adverse comments by May
14, 2012. If adverse comments are received within the 30-day public
comment period, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of this direct
final Notice of Deletion before the effective date of the deletion, and
it will not take effect. EPA will prepare a response to comments and
continue with the deletion process on the basis of the notice of intent
to delete and the comments already received. There will be no
additional opportunity to comment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Agenda: The meeting presentations will be heard, viewed, captioned,
and recorded through an online teleconferencing platform. The
subcommittee will discuss considerations related to dosage optimization
of new drug and biological products for pediatric patients with cancer.
Dosage optimization is an integral aspect of oncology drug development
and is important to maximizing the safety, efficacy, and tolerability
of new drugs for pediatric cancers. Unique considerations associated
with dosage selection and optimization in pediatric oncology include
variability in pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters by age
and size, the need for age-appropriate formulations, potential for
toxicities associated with long-term use, and the rarity of pediatric
cancers. Representatives from the European Medicines Agency, the
pediatric oncology investigator community, and the pharmaceutical
industry have also been invited to present.
    FDA intends to make background material available to the public no
later than 2 business days before the meeting. If FDA is unable to post
the background material on its website prior to the meeting, the
background material will be made publicly available on FDA's website at
the time of the advisory committee meeting. Background material and the
link to the online teleconference meeting room will be available at
https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/default.htm. Scroll
down to the appropriate advisory committee meeting link. The meeting
will include slide presentations with audio components to allow the
presentation of materials in a manner that most closely resembles an
in-person advisory committee meeting.
    Procedure: Interested persons may present data, information, or
views, orally or in writing, on issues pending before the subcommittee.
All electronic and written submissions submitted to the Docket (see
ADDRESSES) on or before June 2, 2023, will be provided to the
subcommittee. Oral presentations from the public will be scheduled
between approximately 1:15 p.m. and 2:15 p.m. Eastern Time. Those
individuals interested in making formal oral presentations should
notify the contact person and submit a brief statement of the general
nature of the evidence or arguments they wish to present, the names and
addresses of proposed participants, and an indication of the
approximate time requested to make their presentation on or before May
24, 2023. Time allotted for each presentation may be limited. If the
number of registrants requesting to speak is greater than can be
reasonably accommodated during the scheduled open public hearing
session, FDA may conduct a lottery to determine the speakers for the
scheduled open public hearing session. The contact person will notify
interested persons regarding their request to speak by May 25, 2023.

Dow Chemical Company in November 2007 provided the following comments and information regarding the storage stability of Diiodomethyl p-tolyl sulfone.

Registrants over a period of time (1982 through 1994) had asked various Laboratories to conduct a variety of stability studies (storage stability included).

™ 48 and Amical 50 were stored on laboratory shelf for eight years and an HPLC analysis after eight years showed no significant breakdown for Amical™ 48 or Amical 50.”

Abbott Laboratories in 1982 reported: “Amical™ 48 was added to acidic water (no pH value is mentioned) and a titration method showed that Amical 48 is stable for 16 hours at 40 o C. Amical™ 48 is used for leather processing at 40 o C and acidic conditions in water. The acidity in water was generated by adding dilute sulfuric acid and dilute formic acid (Lab Project #: 35-208-62)
