Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 212 / Thursday, November 3, 2005 / Notices interpretation would be promoted by providing programs and partnerships with local schools. Wildlife observation and photography opportunities would be expanded, including construction of photo blinds and observation towers. Information guides and signage that highlight refuge management programs, as well as unique wildlife habitats, would also be developed. The refuge would also undertake efforts to improve road maintenance in order to provide better visitor access. A visitor center and headquarters office would be constructed on the refuge, with space for interpretation, environmental education, and staff. Research studies on the refuge would continue to be fostered and partnerships developed with universities and other agencies, with the refuge providing needed resources and study sites. Research on the refuge would also provide benefits to conservation efforts throughout the Lower Mississippi River Valley to preserve, enhance, restore, and manage bottomland hardwood habitat. Inventorying and monitoring of birds, freshwater mussels, reptiles, and amphibians would be continued and expanded in order to assess population trends, correlate with environmental pressures, and provide baseline data to be used in development of appropriate management strategies. Providing additional staff (e.g., wildlife biologist, biological technician, outdoor recreation planner, seasonal maintenance worker, and full-time law enforcement officer) would enable the Service to fully develop and manage fish and wildlife resources and habitats, an offer environmental educational programs that promote a greater understanding of both natural and cultural resources. Under this alternative, the refuge would continue to acquire lands within the present acquisition boundary for compatible wildlife-dependent public recreation and environmental education opportunities. Tracts that provide better-quality habitat and connectivity to existing refuge lands would receive higher priority for acquisition. The refuge would use other important acquisition tools, including land exchanges, partnerships with conservation organizations, conservation easements with adjacent landowners, and leases/ cooperative agreements.

The public record of Investigation No. 701–TA–431 may be viewed on the Commission’s electronic docket (EDIS) at https://edis.usitc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background. In August 2003, the Commission determined that an industry in the United States was materially injured by reason of subsidized imports of DRAMs and DRAM modules from Korea. Countervailing duties were then assessed against these products. The Republic of Korea subsequently initiated a dispute settlement proceeding at the WTO concerning the U.S. countervailing duty measure. Korea’s action challenged both the Department of Commerce’s subsidy determination and the Commission’s injury determination. The WTO dispute resolution panel issued its report on December 21, 2004. The panel evaluated six principal claims that Korea raised against the Commission’s injury determination. It ruled in favor of the United States on five of these claims. The sixth claim concerned whether the Commission properly complied with the obligation under Article 15.5 of the WTO Agreement of Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (ASCM) not to attribute to the subject imports injury caused by other factors. The panel concluded that the Commission successfully satisfied the nonattribution obligation with respect to the factors of non-subject imports; capacity increases by DRAMs suppliers other than Hynix, the sole producer of subject merchandise; and the purported technological and production difficulties of U.S. producer Micron. It also concluded, however, that the Commission did not successfully satisfy the non-attribution obligation with respect to the factor of declines in demand. Thus, in this one respect, the Panel concluded that the Commission’s determination was inconsistent with the ASCM. The pertinent discussion appears at paragraphs 7.356–7.371 of the Panel Report. PO 00000 Frm 00033 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Neither the United States nor Korea appealed the aspects of the Panel Report that addressed the Commission injury determination to the WTO Appellate Body. Both countries did appeal other aspects of the Panel Report, principally concerning Commerce’s subsidy determination. On June 27, 2005, the Appellate Body resolved the issues on appeal in favor of the United States. On July 20, 2005, the WTO Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) adopted the Panel Report as modified by the Appellate Body. Consequently, the DSB’s action finalized the panel’s conclusions concerning the Commission’s determination. On August 3, 2005, the United States informed the DSB that it intends within a reasonable period of time to bring its measure into conformity with the report that the DSB had adopted. The USTR transmitted his request for this determination following receipt from the Commission on September 22, 2005, of an advisory report under section 129(a)(1) of the URAA stating that the Commission has concluded that Title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930 permits it to take steps in connection with its action in DRAMs and DRAM Modules from Korea, Investigation No. 701–TA–431, that would render its action in that proceeding not inconsistent with the findings of the dispute settlement panel. Participation in the investigation and public service list. Only those persons who were interested parties to the original investigation (i.e., persons listed on the Commission Secretary’s service list) may participate in this proceeding. Such persons wishing to participate in this proceeding as parties must file an entry of appearance with the Secretary to the Commission, as provided in section 201.11 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 this proceeding. Limited disclosure of business proprietary information (BPI) under an administrative protective order (APO) and APO service list. Pursuant to section 207.7(a) of the Commission’s rules, the Secretary will make business proprietary information (BPI) gathered in the original investigation available under administrative protective order (APO) to authorized applicants that returned or destroyed all BPI received under the APO in the original investigation or were not covered under the original APO, provided that an application is made in this proceeding.
