Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 152 / Tuesday, August 9, 2005 / Notices
As noted above, at the end of the
three-year period, the above named
persons/entities remain debarred unless
licensing privileges are reinstated.
Debarred persons are generally
ineligible to participate in activity
regulated under the ITAR (see e.g.,
sections 120.1(c) and (d), and 127.11(a)).
The Department of State will not
consider applications for licenses or
requests for approvals that involve any
person who has been convicted of
violating or of conspiring to violate the
AECA during the period of statutory
debarment. Persons who have been
statutorily debarred may appeal to the
Under Secretary for Arms Control and
International Security for
reconsideration of the ineligibility
determination. A request for
reconsideration must be submitted in
writing within 30 days after a person
has been informed of the adverse
decision, in accordance with 22 CFR
127.7(d) and 128.13(a).
This notice is provided for purposes
of making the public aware that the
persons listed above are prohibited from
participating directly or indirectly in
any brokering activities and in any
export from or temporary import into
the United States of defense articles,
related technical data, or defense
services in all situations covered by the
ITAR. Specific case information may be
obtained from the Office of the Clerk for
the U.S. District Court, Central District
of California (Los Angeles) citing the
court case number where provided.
This notice involves a foreign affairs
function of the United States
encompassed within the meaning of the
military and foreign affairs exclusion of
the Administrative Procedure Act.
Because the exercise of this foreign
affairs function is discretionary, it is
excluded from review under the
Administrative Procedure Act.

Acting Assistant Secretary for PoliticalMilitary Affairs, Department of State.

TRADE REPRESENTATIVE
Petition Under Section 302 on China’s
Currency Valuation; Decision Not To
Initiate Investigation
Office of the United States
Trade Representative.
ACTION: Decision not to initiate
investigation.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The United States Trade
Representative (USTR) has determined
VerDate jul<14>2003

Jkt 205001
not to initiate an investigation under
section 302 of the Trade Act of 1974
with respect to a petition addressed to
China’s currency valuation policies
because initiation of an investigation
would not be effective in addressing the
issues raised in the petition.
DATES: Effective May 27, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Terrence McCartin, Senior Director of
Monitoring and Enforcement for China,
(202) 395–3900; or William Busis,
Associate General Counsel and
Chairman of the Section 301 Committee,
(202) 395–3150.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April
20, 2005, the Congressional China
Currency Action Coalition filed a
petition pursuant to section 302(a)(1) of
the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (the
Trade Act), alleging that certain acts,
policies and practices of the
Government of China with respect to the
valuation of China’s currency deny and
violate international legal rights of the
United States, are unjustifiable, and
burden or restrict U.S. commerce. In
particular, the petition alleged that
China’s acts, policies and practices that
maintain a fixed exchange rate vis a vis
the U.S. dollar have resulted in a
significant undervaluation of China’s
currency. The petition alleged that these
acts, policies and practices amount: To
a prohibited export subsidy under the
Agreement on Subsidies and
Countervailing Measures and articles VI
and XVI of the General Agreement on
Tariffs and Trade 1994 (GATT 1994); to
exchange action under article XV of the
GATT 1994 that frustrates the intent of
articles I, II, III, and XI of the GATT
1994; and to subsidies that are
inconsistent with China’s obligations
under articles 3, 9, and 10 of the
Agreement on Agriculture. The petition
also alleged that these acts, policies and
practices of China violate international
legal rights of the United States under
articles IV and VIII of the Articles of
Agreement of the International
Monetary Fund, and that they burden or
restrict U.S. commerce by, among other
things, suppressing U.S. manufacturing
for domestic consumption and the
growth in U.S. exports.
On May 27, 2005, the USTR
determined not to initiate an
investigation under section 302 of the
Trade Act because, among other
reasons, an investigation would not be
effective in addressing the acts, policies,
and practices covered in the petition.
The Administration is currently
involved in efforts to address with the
Government of China the currency
valuation issues raised in the petition.
The USTR believes that initiation of an
PO 00000

investigation under section 302 would
hamper, rather than advance,
Administration efforts to address
China’s currency valuation policies.

Chairman, Section 301 Committee.

on the scope of the EIS should be
submitted to the address or fax above
and must be received no later than 5
p.m. Pacific daylight time, Friday,
September 23, 2005.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Sacramento International Airport (SMF)
is a commercial service airport located
within a metropolitan area in the
northwest corner of Sacramento County
and is operated by SCAS. SMF currently
has two parallel 8,600 feet long and 150
feet wide runways oriented in a north/
south direction. In February of 2004, the
Sacramento County Board of
Supervisors recommended the SMF
Master Plan for environmental review.
The SMF Master Plan includes
proposed improvements to be
implemented at the airport in two
phases. SCAS subsequently submitted a
revised airport layout plan (ALP),
reflecting the proposed first phase of
development to the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) for approval.
A joint EIS/EIR will be developed by
FAA and SCAS that identifies and
analyzes the potential significance of
impacts of the proposed improvements
in accordance with federal and state
law. As the lead federal agency, FAA
will prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement for first phase projects
included in the ALP. The need to
prepare an EIS is based on the
procedures described in section 501 of
FAA Order 1050.1E, Environmental
Impacts: Policies and Procedures and
FAA Order 5050.4A, Airport
Environmental Handbook. The federal
actions that cause the FAA to prepare an
EIS are the approval for the ALP
depicting the proposed development
and the further processing of an
application for federal funding or
passenger facility charges to finance the
proposed projects by Sacramento
County. In making this decision, the
FAA based the need for an EIS on its
preliminary review of possible noise,
wetland and endangered species
impacts the proposed action could
cause.
In addition, the County of
Sacramento, Department of
Environmental Review and Assessment
(DERA), as the lead state agency, will
prepare an Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) for both phases of the
recommended Master Plan
improvements, pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act of
1970 (CEQA).
The proposed Phase I projects
include:
PO 00000

Rental Car facilities.
• Construction of maintenance
facility improvements, such as a new
General Services Building and
Equipment Maintenance Building.
Land Acquisition
• Acquire 707 acres for approach
protection and future airport growth.
Alternatives: The alternatives being
considered in the EIS/EIR include the
No-Action Alternative; the Proposed
Action Alternative; various physical
configurations of proposed
improvements, such as the extension of
Runway 16R/34L rather than 16L/34R;
and use of other existing airports.
During scoping, FAA and SCAS will
seek comments and input from Federal,
State and local agencies, and other
interested parties to ensure the EIS/EIR
addresses a full range of issues related
to the proposed projects and
alternatives. Written comments and
suggestions concerning the scope of the
EIS may be mailed or faxed to the FAA
contact listed above and must be
received no later than 5 p.m. Pacific
daylight time, Friday, September 23,
2005.
Public Scoping Meeting: The FAA
will hold one (1) public and one (1)
governmental agency scoping meeting to
solicit input from the public and various
Federal, State, and local agencies having
jurisdiction by law or having specific
expertise with respect to any
environmental impacts associated with
the proposed projects. the public
scoping meeting will be held on
Thursday, September 8, 2005, at Public
Television station KVIE’s OSE
Community Room, 2595 Capital Oaks
