RUS Environmental Policies and
Procedures (7 CFR Part 1794) proposes
to hold two scoping meetings and
prepare an Environmental Assessment
(EA) for its Federal action related to a
project proposed by Great River Energy
(GRE) of Elk River, Minnesota. The
project consists of constructing a natural
gas-fired simple cycle, combustion
turbine power generation facility in
Cambridge Township in Isanti County,
Minnesota. An alternative location for
the plant is also being proposed for
consideration and comment. The
alternative site location is at GRE’s Elk
River headquarters in Sherburne
County, Minnesota. Total electrical
output from the facility is expected to
range from 150 megawatts (MW) to 190
MW depending upon operating
conditions. Construction of the project
at the proposed Cambridge site would
necessitate upgrading approximately 47
miles of existing 69-kilovolt (kV)
transmission lines to the latest design
standards. Construction at the
alternative Elk River site would
necessitate upgrading approximately 27
miles of existing 69-kV.
Meeting Information: RUS will
conduct two scoping meetings in open
House forum as follows: Tuesday, April
19, 2005, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., Cambridge
Township Hall, Isanti County
Fairgrounds, 3101 Hwy 95 NE.,
Cambridge, MN 55008, Telephone: 763–

p.m. to 9 p.m., Elk River Parks &
Recreation, 1104 Lions Park Drive NW.,
Elk River, MN 55330, Telephone: 763–

GRE
proposes to construct the facility in
Cambridge Township in Isanti County,
Minnesota. The primary purpose of the
facility is to meet GRE peak electrical
load during hot summer weather. Under
those conditions, the facility’s expected
output is about 170 MW of power. The
proposed project will consist of one
simple cycle combustion turbine. The
combustion turbine will be fueled with
natural gas.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
VerDate jul<14>2003

Jkt 205001
The project is proposed to be
constructed at Great River Energy’s
existing Cambridge Peaking Plant, 2438
349th Avenue, NE. A fuel oil-fired
combustion turbine rated at
approximately 20 MW exists at the site
and will remain in operation at the site
after construction of the proposed
combustion turbine. The existing
peaking plant occupies roughly 11 acres
south of 349th Avenue. Additional land
totaling approximately seven acres may
be acquired to the south and east to
facilitate construction activities for the
proposed combustion turbine. The
proposed combustion turbine would be
fueled only with natural gas. Four 69kilovolt (kV) transmission lines are
currently connected to the existing
substation at the Cambridge site. Three
of these lines totaling about 47 miles
will be upgraded to state-of-the-art 69kV design standards to allow the
electricity from the new generator to be
reliably delivered from the site.
An alternative site for the plant is also
being proposed at GRE’s existing
facilities at 17845 East Highway 10, Elk
River, Minnesota GRE’s headquarters
and its 40-MW Elk River Station, which
is fueled with refuse-derived fuel, are at
this location and would remain if the
proposed plant were to be constructed
at the alternative site. No additional
land would be purchased if the plant
were to be constructed at this location.
Due to constraints on natural gas
availability, a combustion turbine at the
Elk River site would be equipped to fire
fuel oil as a backup fuel. The generator
would be connected to the Elk River
Substation. Approximately 27 miles of
transmission line would have to be
upgraded to allow the electricity from
the new generator to be reliably
delivered from the site.
Alternatives to be considered by RUS
and GRE include no action, purchased
power, upgrade of existing resources,
new transmission facilities, alternative
sites, alternative routes, fossil fuel
technologies, customer-owned
generation, energy conservation,
renewable resources, and emerging
technologies.
GRE has prepared an Alternative
Evaluation and Site Selection Study for
the project. The Alternative Evaluation
and Site Selection Study is available at
GRE’s Web site at https://
www.greatriverenergy.com/projects/
plants/proj_plants.html. The study is
also available for public review at the
RUS or GRE at the addresses provided

Federal, state and local agencies,
private organizations, and the public are
invited to participate in the planning
and analysis of the proposed project.
Representatives from RUS and GRE will
be available at the scoping meetings to
discuss RUS’s environmental review
process, the proposed project and the
alternatives being considered, the scope
of the environmental issues to be
considered, and answer questions. Oral
and written comments will be accepted
at the scoping meetings. Written
comments regarding the proposed
project will also be accepted for 30 days
after the scoping meetings. All written
comments should be sent to RUS at the
address provided in this notice.
Any final action by RUS related to the
proposed project will be subject to, and
contingent upon, compliance with all
relevant Federal environmental laws
and regulations and completion of
environmental review procedures as
prescribed by the CEQ Regulations and
RUS Environmental Policies and
Procedures.

Foreign–Trade Zone 105lNorth
Kingstown, RI, Application for
Temporary/Interim Manufacturing
Authority, Southeastern New England
Shipbuilding Corporation,
(Shipbuilding), North Kingstown, RI
An application has been submitted to
the Executive Secretary of the Foreign–
Trade Zones Board (the Board) by the
Rhode Island Economic Development
Corporation, grantee of FTZ 105,
requesting temporary/interim
manufacturing (T/IM) authority within
FTZ 105 at the Southeastern New
England Shipbuilding Corporation
(Senesco) shipbuilding facility located
in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. The
application was filed on March 25,
2005.
The Senesco shipyard (450
employees, 31 acres, capacity: up to 4
vessels/year) is located at 10 MacNaught
Street within the Quonset Business Park
(FTZ Site 2). Under T/IM procedures,
Senesco would construct and repair

tugboats (HTSUS 8901.90), double–
hulled liquid barges (HTSUS 8901.20)
and articulating tug barges for domestic
and international customers. Foreign
components that would be used at the
shipyard (up to 30% of total purchases)
include: diesel engines (HTSUS
8408.10), sterntubes (8483.30),
reduction gears (8483.40), shaft
grounding systems and seals (8483.90),
generators (8501.62 , 8501.63), overfill
alarms (8531.90), tank washing
machines (8537.10), valve remote
operators (8537.10), tank gauging
systems (8537.10), and ACCU
automation/steering systems (8537.10)
(duty rates: 1.3 4.5%). The request
indicates that Senesco will not admit
any foreign–origin steel mill products to
the zone for use in FTZ manufacturing
activity.
FTZ procedures would exempt
Senesco from Customs duty payments
on the foreign components used in
export activity. On its domestic sales,
the company would be able to choose
the duty rate that applies to finished
oceangoing vessels (duty free) for the
foreign–origin components noted above.
Duties would be deferred or reduced on
foreign production equipment admitted
by Senesco to the zone until which time
it becomes operational. The
manufacturing activity conducted under
FTZ procedures would be subject to the
‘‘standard shipyard restriction’’
applicable to foreign–origin steel mill
products (e.g., angles, pipe, plate),
which requires that full Customs duties
be paid on such items.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions shall be
addressed to the Board’s Executive
Secretary at one of the following
addresses:
1. Submissions via Express/Package

Background
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary
Results of Reviews
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires
the Department to make a preliminary
determination within 245 days after the
last day of the anniversary month of an
order for which a review is requested
and a final determination within 120
days after the date on which the
preliminary determination is published.
If it is not practicable to complete the
review within these time periods,
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows
the Department to extend the time limit
for the preliminary determination to a
Frm 00014
Fmt 4703
maximum of 365 days after the last day
of the anniversary month.
We determine that it is not practicable
to complete the preliminary results of
these reviews within the original time
limit because of the number of
companies involved in these reviews,
the complex issues surrounding the
model–match methodology, and the
additional time we need to conduct
verifications. Therefore, we are
extending the time period for issuing
the preliminary results of these reviews
by an additional 26 days, until April 27,
2005, which is 331 days after the last
day of the anniversary month of the
order.
This notice is published in
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).
