Download as PDF 56888 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 188 / Thursday, September 29, 2005 / Notices have provided baseline information from which managers have made decisions, revised forest plans, and renovated/redesigned recreation sites. Additional information is needed for the managers of National Forests in Southern California, in part to validate previous results and in part because of the continuously changing profile of the visitor population recreating on the National Forests of Southern California. In the absence of the resultant information from the proposed series, the Forest Service will be ill-equipped to implement management changes required to respond to the needs and preferences of day use visitors. Data will be collected from visitors at outdoor recreation day use sites (these include developed picnic areas, general forest day use sites, off-road staging areas, trails, etc.) on National Forests in Southern California. Sites, dates of data collection, and individuals participating in the study will be randomly selected for inclusion in the study. Survey instruments will be available in English and Spanish and bilingual research teams will collect the data. Participation in this study is voluntary. The maximum amount of completion time will average 15 minutes or less. Participants will answer questions on the following topics: socio-demographic profile; National Forest visitation history and patterns; activity patterns; information and communication; site amenities/characteristics; perceptions about the environment and land uses; and general comments. Urban National Forests in Southern California have used the information to assist in effective management of recreation activities in the region studied. Data collected previously has been used by the agency to institute forest newspapers, add site renovations to an existing picnic area, and in forest planning. Results have been presented at local, national and international meetings, and have been published in several outlets. Data generated through this collection will be utilized in a similar manner as well as provide opportunities for comparisons of visitor profile and use shifts over time. Data will be evaluated and analyzed by Dr. Deborah J. Chavez at the Pacific Southwest Research Station. Consequences for not collecting this data would be (a) decreased service delivery due to decreased quality and breadth of information provided to resource managers on the sociodemographic profile of visitors, visitation history and patterns, information and communication, site amenities/characteristics, perceptions VerDate Aug<31>2005 13:52 Sep 28, 2005 Jkt 205001 about the environment and land uses, (b) decreased ability to continue to expand approved research work unit’s assigned study topics such as understanding visitor profiles, (c) increased response time for inquiries into topics from managers and university contacts, (d) increased dependency on cooperator availability to carry out research unit mission, and (e) loss of information represented in follow-up longitudinal studies. Estimate of Annual Burden: 15 minutes per respondent. Type of Respondents: Recreation visitors to urban National Forests in Southern California. Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 600 per year. Estimated Annual Number of Responses per Respondent: 1 per year. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 150 hours. Comment is invited on: (1) Whether this collection of information is necessary for the stated purposes and the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical or scientific utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including the use of automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology. All comments received in response to this notice, including names and addresses when provided, will be a matter of public record. Comments will be summarized and included in the submission for Office of Management and Budget approval. Dated: September 14, 2005. Ann M. Bartuska, Deputy Chief for Research & Development.

The application was submitted pursuant to the Foreign–Trade Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), and the regulations of the Board (15 CFR part 400). It was formally filed on September 19, 2005. Subzone 70T (246 acres, 400 - 500 employees) consists of 4 sites and connecting pipelines in Wayne County (Detroit area), Michigan: Site 1 (183 acres)--main refinery complex (75,000 BPD) located at 1300 South Fort Street on the Detroit River, Detroit and Melvindale ; Site 2 (15 acres)--asphalt storage facility located at 301 South Fort Street on the Rouge River, 1 mile east of the refinery, Detroit; Site 3 (4 acres)-finished product storage facility, located on Fordson Island in the Rouge River, 2 miles northeast of the refinery, Dearborn, and; Site 4 (44 acres)-underground LPG storage cavern, located at 24400 Allen Road, 12 miles south of the refinery, Woodhaven. The expansion request involves the modification to a crude unit that would increase the overall crude distillation capacity to 105,000 BPD. No additional feedstocks or products have been requested. Zone procedures would exempt the increased production from Customs duty payments on the foreign products used in its exports. On domestic sales of the increased production, the company would be able to choose the finished product duty rate on certain petrochemical feedstocks and refinery by–products (duty–free) by admitting foreign crude oil in non–privileged foreign status. The duty rates on crude oil range from 5.25 cents/barrel to 10.5 cents/barrel. The application indicates that the savings from zone procedures help improve the refinery’s international competitiveness. PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 56889 In accordance with the Board’s regulations, a member of the FTZ staff has been designated examiner to investigate the application and report to the Board.

The closing period for their receipt is November 28, 2005. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period (to December 13, 2005). A copy of the application and accompanying exhibits will be available for public inspection at the Office of the Foreign–Trade Zones Board’s Executive Secretary at address Number 1 listed above, and at the U.S. Department of Commerce Export Assistance Center, 211 West Fort Street, Suite 2220, Detroit, MI 48226.
