Title: Amending the National Contingency Plan (NCP) Provisions for Public Notices for Specific Superfund Activities 
Abstract: EPA is considering amending the National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP) to add language to broaden ways the Agency can inform the public of site-related activities. By modifying the NCP, it will allow the regions to adopt a communications approach that is most appropriate for the community and stage of the Superfund process. In some cases, publishing a public notice in a major local newspaper may be the most economical and effective way to inform the public. However, in other cases, other outreach methods may be more appropriate, e.g., direct mailings to individual homes, e-mail notifications, etc. These changes will give Superfund site teams the flexibility to design a communications approach suitable for the community and the situation.
