The West Tarkio draft EIS will be
developed and published in the Federal
Register with a target date of October
20, 2005. A 45-day comment period will
be available for the public to provide
comments. A 30 day comment period
will be available following publication
of the final EIS. A meeting will be held
in the Shenandoah area near the date of
the draft EIS publication to inform the
public about the draft watershed planEIS and to obtain comments.
The draft watershed plan-EIS will be
prepared and circulated for review by
agencies and the public. This review

publication of the draft EIS in the
Federal Register. The Natural Resources
Conservation Service invites
participation and consultation of public
agencies, any affected Indian tribe, and
individuals that have special expertise,
legal jurisdiction, or interest in
providing data for consideration in
preparing the draft EIS. Comments and
other inputs received will be considered
in plan development. Further

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
On September 30, 1993, the Secretary
of Commerce submitted to the Congress
a report of the Trade Promotion
Coordinating Committee, entitled
Toward a National Export Strategy. The
report included the goal to ‘‘Undertake
a comprehensive review of the Export
Administration Regulations to simplify,
clarify, and make the regulations more
user-friendly’’. To carry out this
recommendation, BIS has rewritten the
entire EAR. To the extent activities have
been added or changed but not deleted,
this collection represents the authority
to collect, on rare occasions, certain
information from the public. This
assembly of information collection
activities is comprised of two activities.
‘‘Registration Of U.S. Agricultural
Commodities For Exemption From
Short Supply Limitations On Export’’,
and ‘‘Petitions For The Imposition Of
Monitoring Or Controls On Recyclable
Metallic materials; Public Hearings’’ are
statutory in nature and—though they
never have been applied—must remain
a part of BIS’s information collection
budget authorization. The third—The
Commerce Control List—became
