Box 25102, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87504; telephone (505) 476–0551, e-mail: coleman.smith@state.nm.us. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of Reclamation’s proposed federal action is to avoid jeopardy to the Pecos bluntnose shiner and to conserve the Carlsbad Project water supply. To avoid jeopardy to the shiner means that Reclamation would ensure that any discretionary action they authorize, fund, or carry out is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of a listed species or result in the destruction or adverse modification of critical habitat. Reclamation would continue to participate in interagency actions to protect federally-listed species and designated critical habitats, within their legal and discretionary authority. Conserving the Carlsbad Project water supply means delivering the amount of water to the project that would otherwise be available but for changes to operations. The need for Reclamation’s action is to operate the Pecos River facilities so as not to jeopardize the continued existence of the shiner or destroy or adversely modify designated critical habitat and to maintain the Carlsbad Project water supply for authorized purposes. Without reoperation of Sumner Dam, stream flows in the Pecos River may be insufficient to meet basic habitat needs of the shiner and the future existence of the shiner may be in jeopardy. Without an accompanying program to acquire and provide water, reductions to the Carlsbad Project water supply would occur. The proposed federal action that requires NEPA compliance is the reoperation of Sumner Dam to provide flows in the Pecos River to conserve the shiner, and the implementation of a water acquisition program to conserve the Carlsbad Project water supply. The alternatives vary in flow targets or minimum flows at the Taiban or Acme gages. Depending on the alternative, these targets can be constant or variable by time of year or whether river conditions are dry, average, or wet. Action alternatives also include VerDate Aug<18>2005 16:30 Aug 31, 2005 Jkt 205001 common guidance for block releases, a habitat conservation pool, an adaptive management plan, and implementation of an interagency management agreement. Reduction to Carlsbad Project water resulting from changes in operations to conserve the shiner would be offset through a variety of options that are analyzed independently of the alternatives. Other options have been developed to acquire water to directly augment river flows for the benefit of the shiner. Implementation of some of these options would require additional authorization, permitting, and projectspecific NEPA analysis. After the 60-day waiting period, Reclamation will complete a final environmental impact statement (FEIS). Responses to comments received from organizations and individuals on the DEIS will be addressed in the FEIS. Public Disclosure Our practice is to make comments, including names and home addresses of respondents, available for public review. Individual respondents may request that we withhold their home address from public disclosure, which we will honor to the extent allowable by law. There also may be circumstances in which we would withhold a respondent’s identity from public disclosure, as allowable by law. If you wish us to withhold your name and/or address, you must state this prominently at the beginning of your comment. We will make all submissions from organizations or businesses, and from individuals identifying themselves as representatives or officials of organizations or businesses, available for public disclosure in their entirety.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background. On May 12, 1995, the Department of Commerce issued an 
antidumping duty order on imports of pure magnesium from China (60 FR 
25691). Following five-year reviews by Commerce and the Commission, 
effective October 27, 2000, Commerce issued a continuation of the 
antidumping duty order on imports of pure magnesium from China (65 FR 
64422). The Commission is now conducting a second review to determine 
whether revocation of the order would be likely to lead to

[[Page 52123]]

continuation or recurrence of material injury to the domestic industry 
within a reasonably foreseeable time. It will assess the adequacy of 
interested party responses to this notice of institution to determine 
whether to conduct a full review or an expedited review. The 
Commission's determination in any expedited review will be based on the 
facts available, which may include information provided in response to 
this notice.
    Definitions. The following definitions apply to this review:
    (1) Subject Merchandise is the class or kind of merchandise that is 
within the scope of the five-year review, as defined by the Department 
of Commerce.
    (2) The Subject Country in this review is China.
    (3) The Domestic Like Product is the domestically produced product 
or products which are like, or in the absence of like, most similar in 
characteristics and uses with, the Subject Merchandise. In its original 
determination and its expedited five-year review determination, the 
Commission defined the Domestic Like Product as all pure magnesium, 
including off-specification (``off-spec'') pure magnesium,\2\ 
coextensive with Commerce's scope definition. One Commissioner defined 
the Domestic Like Product differently in the original investigation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Off-spec pure magnesium is magnesium containing between 50 
percent and 99.8 percent primary magnesium, by weight, that does not 
conform to ASTM specifications for alloy magnesium. Off-spec pure 
magnesium is pure primary magnesium containing magnesium scrap, 
secondary magnesium, oxidized magnesium, or impurities (whether or 
not intentionally added) that cause the primary magnesium content to 
fall below 99.8 percent by weight. It generally does not contain, 
individually or in combination, 1.5 percent or more, by weight, of 
the following alloying elements: aluminum, manganese, zinc, silicon, 
thorium, zirconium, and rare earths.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (4) The Domestic Industry is the U.S. producers as a whole of the 
Domestic Like Product, or those producers whose collective output of 
the Domestic Like Product constitutes a major proportion of the total 
domestic production of the product. In its original determination and 
its expedited five-year review determination, the Commission defined 
the Domestic Industry as all producers of pure magnesium, including 
off-spec pure magnesium, coextensive with Commerce's scope definition. 
One Commissioner defined the Domestic Industry differently in the 
original investigation.
    (5) An Importer is any person or firm engaged, either directly or 
through a parent company or subsidiary, in importing the Subject 
Merchandise into the United States from a foreign manufacturer or 
through its selling agent.
    Participation in the review and public service list. Persons, 
including industrial users of the Subject Merchandise and, if the 
merchandise is sold at the retail level, representative consumer 
organizations, wishing to participate in the review as parties must 
file an entry of appearance with the Secretary to the Commission, as 
provided in section 201.11(b)(4) of the Commission's rules, no later 
than 21 days after publication of this notice in the Federal Register. 
The Secretary will maintain a public service list containing the names 
and addresses of all persons, or their representatives, who are parties 
to the review.
    Former Commission employees who are seeking to appear in Commission 
five-year reviews are reminded that they are required, pursuant to 19 
CFR 201.15, to seek Commission approval if the matter in which they are 
seeking to appear was pending in any manner or form during their 
Commission employment. The Commission is seeking guidance as to whether 
a second transition five-year review is the ``same particular matter'' 
as the underlying original investigation for purposes of 19 CFR 201.15 
and 18 U.S.C. 207, the post employment statute for Federal employees. 
Former employees may seek informal advice from Commission ethics 
officials with respect to this and the related issue of whether the 
employee's participation was ``personal and substantial.'' However, any 
informal consultation will not relieve former employees of the 
obligation to seek approval to appear from the Commission under its 
rule 201.15. For ethics advice, contact Carol McCue Verratti, Deputy 
Agency Ethics Official, at 202-205-3088.

an administrative protective order (APO) and APO service list. Pursuant 
to section 207.7(a) of the Commission's rules, the Secretary will make 
BPI submitted in this review available to authorized applicants under 
the APO issued in the review, provided that the application is made no 
later than 21 days after publication of this notice in the Federal 
Register. Authorized applicants must represent interested parties, as 
defined in 19 U.S.C. 1677(9), who are parties to the review. A separate 
service list will be maintained by the Secretary for those parties 
authorized to receive BPI under the APO.
    Certification. Pursuant to section 207.3 of the Commission's rules, 
any person submitting information to the Commission in connection with 
this review must certify that the information is accurate and complete 
to the best of the submitter's knowledge. In making the certification, 
the submitter will be deemed to consent, unless otherwise specified, 
for the Commission, its employees, and contract personnel to use the 
information provided in any other reviews or investigations of the same 
or comparable products which the Commission conducts under Title VII of 
the Act, or in internal audits and investigations relating to the 
programs and operations of the Commission pursuant to 5 U.S.C. Appendix 
3.
