ACTION:
SUMMARY: The USDA Forest Service will
prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) to disclose the
anticipated environmental effects of the
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area and
Montezuma Bowl Projects. The
Proposed Action would upgrade and
expand infrastructure within the
existing Special Use Permit (SUP) area
to accommodate parking demands and
improve skiing opportunities for
existing and proposed visitation,
thereby enhancing the quality of the
recreation experience.
The major aspects of the Proposed
Action include:
• Install a new fixed-grip triple of
quad chairlift in Montezuma Bowl.
Adding lift-served skiing within

Montezuma Bowl would increase ABasin’s existing overall skiable acreage
for approximately 487 to 812 acres. The
Montezuma Bowl area would add
approximately 175 acres of intermediate
terrain and 149 acres of advanced and
expert terrain, all accessible for roundtrip skiing via one proposed chairlift.
• Install snowfencing west of the
proposed lift terminal, below (south) of
the ridgeline, to aid in snow retention.
• Install a raised ‘‘avalauncher’’
platform to allow A-Basin ski patrol to
safely conduct snow safety operations in
Montezuma Bowl.
• Replace the existing Exhibition lift
(fixed-grip triple) with a high speed
detachable quad chair accommodating
2,60 people per hour in a slightly
modified alignment.
• Create an additional 231 parking
spaces by widening and re-grading the
Lower Overflow Lot and the High Noon
Lot, bringing total parking capacity at ABasin’s five lots to 1,781 vehicles. In
conjunction with the re-grading of the
High Noon lot, a series of sediment
detention basins are proposed along the
west edge of the parking area, parallel
with Highway 6.
DATES: Comments concerning the scope
of the analysis should be received by
January 6, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Written comments
concerning this notice should be
addressed to Maribeth Gustafson, Forest
Supervisor, c/o Peech Keller, Project
Leader, Dillon Ranger District, PO Box

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Proposed Action addresses issues
related to the recreation experience.
Presently, alpine skiing/snowboarding
and other resort activities are provided
to the public through a SUP issued by
the Forest Service and administered by
the White River National Forest. All
elements of the proposal remain within
the existing SUP boundary area.
The proposed improvements are
consistent with the 2002 Revised White
River National Forest Land and
Resource Management Plan (Forest
Plan). The proposed improvements are
considered necessary in light of current
PO 00000

resort deficiencies and projected future
visitation.
Purpose and Need for Action
The Forest Service and A-Basin
cooperatively identified a purpose for
this proposal, which is to upgrade and
expand infrastructure within the
existing SUP area to accommodate
parking demands and improve skiing
opportunities for existing and proposed
visitation, thereby enhancing the quality
of the recreation experience.
Responsible Official
The responsible official is Maribeth
Gustafson, Forest Supervisor for the
White River National Forest, 900 Grand
Ave., P.O. Box 948, Glenwood Springs
Colorado 81602. The responsible official
will document the decision and reasons
for the decision in a Record of Decision.
That decision will be subject to appeal
under 36 CFR part 215 or part 251.
Nature of Decision To Be Made
Based on the analysis that will be
documented in the forthcoming EIS, the
responsible official for this project, the
Forest Supervisor of the White River
National Forest, will decide whether or
not to implement, in whole or in part,
the Proposed Action or another
alternative developed by the Forest
Service.
Scoping Process
Public questions and comments
regarding this proposal are an integral
part of this environmental analysis
process. Comments will be used to
identify issues and develop alternatives
to A-Basin’s proposal. To assist the
Forest Service in identifying and
considering issues and concerns on the
proposed action, comments should be as
specific as possible.
Input provided by interested and/or
affected individuals, organizations and
governmental agencies will be used to
identify resource issues that will be
analyzed in the Draft EIS. The Forest
Service will identify significant issues
raised during the scoping process, and
use them to formulate alternatives,
prescribe mitigation measures, or
analyze environmental effects.
Comment Requested
This notice of intent initiates the
scoping process which guides the
development of the draft environmental
impact statement, including the
identification of the range of alternatives
to be considered. While public
participation is strictly optional at this
stage, the Forest Service believes that it
is important to give reviewers notice of
several court rulings related to public
E:\FR\FM\30NON1.SGM
30NON1
71802
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 229 / Wednesday, November 30, 2005 / Notices
participation in the subsequent
environmental review process. First,
reviewers of draft statement must
structure their participation in the
environmental review of the proposal so
that it is meaningful and alerts an
agency to the reviewer’s position and
contentions. Vermont Yankee Nuclear
Power Corp. v. NRDC, 435 U.S. 519,553
(1978). Also, environmental objections
that could be raised at the draft
environmental impact statement stage
but that are not raised until after
completion of the final environmental
impact statement may be waived or
dismissed by the courts. City of Angoon
v. Hodel, 803 F.2d 1016, 1022 (9th Cir.
1986) and Wisconsin Heritages, Inc.
Harris, 490 F. Supp. 1334, 1338 (E.D.
Wis. 1980).
Because of these court rulings, it is
very important that those interested in
this proposed action participate during
the scoping period so that substantive
comments and objections are made
available to the Forest Service at a time
when it can meaningfully consider them
and respond to them in the
development of the alternatives. To
assist the Forest Service in identifying
and considering issues and concerns on
the proposed action, comments on the
proposed action should be as specific as
possible.

results of this changed circumstance
review in which we preliminarily
determined that Yieh Phui is the
successor–in-interest to Yieh Hsing for
purposes of determining antidumping
liability. We gave interested parties the
opportunity to comment after
publication of the Preliminary Results.

Background
On February 15, 2005, Yieh Phui
requested the Department to conduct an
expedited changed circumstance review
of the antidumping duty order on
certain circular welded carbon steel
pipes and tubes from Taiwan. The
Department determined that the
information submitted by Yieh Phui was
sufficient to warrant initiation of
changed circumstance review and, on
April 4, 2005, the Department published
the Initiation Notice for this review.
Yieh Phui claims to be a successor–ininterest to Yieh Hsing after it acquired
Yieh Hsing’s pipe production facilities.
On April 6, 2005, the Department issued
Yieh Phui a questionnaire requesting
further details on the acquisition of the
pipe facilities. Yieh Phui responded on
April 29, 2005. On May 17, 2005, the
Department issued a second
supplemental questionnaire, to which
Yieh Phui responded on June 13, 2005.
The evidence on the record shows
that Yieh Phui operates in essentially
the same manner in terms of
production, management and customer
base as did Yieh Hsing prior to the
transfer of its pipe facilities. In
analyzing the totality of the factors on
the record with respect to the transfer of
the pipe operations, the Department
preliminarily concluded that Yieh Phui

SUMMARY: On April 4, 2005, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) published a notice of
initiation of changed circumstance
review of the antidumping order on
certain circular welded carbon steel
pipes and tubes from Taiwan to
determine whether Yieh Phui
Enterprise, Ltd. (Yieh Phui) is a
successor–in-interest to Yieh Hsing
Enterprise, Ltd. (Yieh Hsing). See

was the successor–in-interest to Yieh
Hsing and ought to be accorded the
same antidumping duty treatment as its
predecessor. See Preliminary Results.
Scope of the Order
Imports covered by this order are
shipments of certain circular welded
carbon steel pipes and tubes. The
Department defines such merchandise
as welded carbon steel pipes and tubes
of circular cross section, with walls not
thinner than 0.065 inch and 0.375 inch
or more but not over 4.5 inches in
outside diameter. These products are
commonly referred to in the industry as
‘‘standard pipe’’ and are produced to
various American Society for Testing
Materials specifications, most notably
A–53, A–120 and A–135. Standard pipe
is currently classified under
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) item numbers
7306.30.5025, 7306.30.5032,
7306.30.5040, and 7306.30.5055.
Although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
merchandise under the order is
dispositive.
Final Results of Changed Circumstance
Review
For the reasons stated in the
Preliminary Results, we determine that
Yieh Phui is the successor–in-interest to
Yieh Hsing for antidumping duty
purposes. The Department did not
receive any comments or requests for a
hearing from either party within the
time frames established in the
Preliminary Results. As a result, Yieh
Phui will receive the same antidumping
duty cash–deposit rate (i.e., 1.61
percent) that was calculated and applied
to Yieh Hsing during the most recent
administrative review under this order.
See Certain Circular Welded Carbon
Steel Pipes and Tubes from Taiwan:
Final Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review, 69 FR 58390
(September 30, 2004). The Department
will instruct the U.S. Customs and
Border Protection to collect cash
deposits at a rate of 1.61 percent for all
entries made by Yieh Phui of the subject
merchandise entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the date of publication of the final
results of this changed circumstance
review.
Notification Regarding APOs
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (APOs) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
