Notice of Availability of Draft Snake

Impact Statement, Idaho
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability.
SUMMARY: In accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act of
VerDate Aug<31>2005
18:05 Jun 01, 2006
Jkt 208001
1969 (NEPA, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and
the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA, 43
U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) has prepared a Draft
Resource Management Plan/
Environmental Impact Statement (Draft
RMP/EIS) for the Snake River Birds of
Prey National Conservation Area (NCA).
DATES: To assure that they will be
considered, BLM must receive written
comments on the Draft RMP/EIS within
90 days following the date the
Environmental Protection Agency
publishes this Notice of Availability in
the Federal Register. The BLM will
announce future meetings or hearings
and any other public involvement
activities at least 15 days in advance
through public notices, media news
releases, and/or mailings.
ADDRESSES: The Draft RMP/EIS will be
posted on the Internet at https://
www.id.blm.gov/planning and will be
mailed to those who have indicated that
they want a hard copy or a compact
disk.
You may submit comments by any of
the following methods:
• E-mail:
srbp@contentanalysisgroup.com.
• Fax: 801–397–2601.
• Mail: Snake River Birds of Prey
NCA, C/O Content Analysis Group, P.O.
Box 2000, Bountiful, UT 84011–2000.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John
Sullivan, NCA Manager, Bureau of Land
Management, Four Rivers Field Office,
3948 Development Ave., Boise, Idaho
83705, phone—208–384–3300.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NCA
encompasses approximately 484,000
acres of public land along 81 miles of
the Snake River. The NCA was
established on August 4, 1993 by Public
Law 103–64 for the conservation,
protection, and enhancement of raptor
populations and habitats and the natural
and environmental resources and values
associated with the area.
Issues identified through public
scoping to be addressed in the planning
process include the following:
• Vegetation: Substantial losses of
native shrub and perennial grass
communities have resulted in smaller
and less stable small mammal raptor
prey populations, which have
secondarily impacted raptor
populations.
• Fuels Management: The landscapescale change from perennial to annual
plant communities has altered the
natural fire regime, resulting in more
frequent fires, and greater potential for
damage to private improvements in the
wildland urban interface.

Sfmt 4703
• Recreation: The burgeoning human
population and associated development
in the surrounding area have increased
recreation-related impacts on soils and
vegetation, predominately through offroad vehicle use. In addition,
unregulated recreational shooting has
caused safety conflicts with military
training activities.
• National Guard: Military activities
need to be conducted in a way that
reduces impacts to soils and vegetation,
especially shrub communities.
Four alternative strategies are
described and analyzed, as follows:
Alternative A: (No-Action) Serves as a
baseline for comparison with the other
three alternatives, and proposes no
major changes in resource management.
Alternative B: Emphasizes a moderate
level of raptor and raptor prey habitat
restoration and rehabilitation, while
accommodating recreation, military, and
commodity uses that are compatible
with the purposes of the NCA.
Alternative C: Places a heavy
emphasis on restoration and
rehabilitation of all non-shrub areas
outside the National Guard’s Orchard
Training Area (OTA) to improve raptor
and raptor prey habitat. Livestock
grazing preference would be eliminated,
and recreation and military training
would be substantially restricted to
support habitat restoration projects.
Alternative D: (Preferred Alternative)
Places a heavy emphasis on restoration
of all non-shrub areas outside the OTA
to improve raptor and raptor prey
habitat, with moderate restrictions on
recreation, military, and commodity
uses.
Decision Process: Depending on the
number and types of comments on the
Draft RMP/EIS, the Proposed RMP/Final
EIS is expected to be published in late
2006. A Notice of Availability of the
Proposed RMP/Final EIS will be
published in the Federal Register and
through local news media. A notice of
an approved Record of Decision will be
published in the Federal Register
following resolution of any protests or
appeals on the Proposed RMP/Final EIS.
The official responsible for the decision
is the BLM Idaho State Director.
Individual respondents may request
confidentiality. If you wish to withhold
your name or street address from public
review or from disclosure under the
Freedom of Information Act, you must
state this prominently at the beginning
of your written comment. Such requests
will be honored to the extent allowed by
law. All submissions from organizations
and businesses, and from individuals
identifying themselves as
representatives or officials of
organizations or businesses, will be

INTERNATIONAL TRADE
COMMISSION
[Investigation No. 731–TA–461 (Second
Review)]
Gray Portland Cement and Cement
Clinker From Japan
Determination
On the basis of the record 1 developed
in the subject five-year review, the
United States International Trade
Commission (Commission) determines,
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff
Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)) (the
Act), that revocation of the antidumping
duty order on gray portland cement and
cement clinker from Japan would be
likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of material injury to an
industry in the United States within a
reasonably foreseeable time.
Background
The Commission instituted this
review on October 3, 2005 (70 FR
57617) and determined on January 6,
2006 that it would conduct an expedited
review (71 FR 5069, January 31, 2006).
The Commission transmitted its
determination in this review to the
Secretary of Commerce on May 31,
2006. The views of the Commission are
contained in USITC Publication 3856
(May 2006), entitled Gray Portland

p.m.) in the Office of the Secretary, U.S.
International Trade Commission, 500 E
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20436,
telephone 202–205–2000.
General information concerning the
Commission may also be obtained by
accessing its Internet server (https://
www.usitc.gov). The public record for
this investigation may be viewed on the
Commission’s electronic docket (EDIS–
ON–LINE) at https://edis.usitc.gov.
Hearing-impaired persons are advised
that information on this matter can be
obtained by contacting the
Commission’s TDD terminal on 202–
205–1810.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commission instituted this investigation
on March 23, 2006, based on a
complaint filed by Epson Portland, Inc.
of Oregon, Epson America, Inc. of
California, and Seiko Epson Corporation
of Japan. 71 FR 14720 (2006).
The complaint alleged violations of
section 337 in the importation into the
United States, the sale for importation,
and the sale within the United States
after importation of certain ink
cartridges and components thereof by
reason of infringement of claim 7 of U.S.
Patent No. 5,615,957; claims 18, 81, 93,
149, 164 and 165 of U.S. Patent No.
5,622,439; claims 83 and 84 of U.S.

of U.S. Patent No. 5,221,148; claims 29,
31, 34 and 38 of U.S. Patent No.
5,156,472; claim 1 of U.S. Patent No.
5,488,401; claims 1–3 and 9 of U.S.
Patent No. 6,502,917; claims 1, 31 and
34 of U.S. Patent No. 6,550,902; and
claims 1, 10 and 14 of U.S. Patent No.
6,955,422. The complaint further
alleged that an industry in the United
States exists as required by subsection
(a)(2) of section 337. The complainants
requested that the Commission issue a
general exclusion order and cease and
desist orders. The Commission named
as respondents 24 companies located in
China, Germany, Hong Kong, Korea, and
the United States. The ALJ set June 25,
2007, as the target date for completion
of the investigation.
The ALJ issued the subject ID on May
3, 2006. The ID grants complainants’
motion to add infringement of claim 1
of United States Patent No. 7,008,053
and claims 21, 45, 53 and 54 of United
States Patent No. 7,011,397 to the
complaint and notice of investigation, to
submit supplemental information, and
to include an additional accused device
in the investigation. The ALJ found that
there was ‘‘good cause’’ to permit the
new allegations of infringement because
the two patents had issued after the
complaint was filed in this investigation
and discovery was still in its early
stages. The Commission investigative
attorney supported complainants’
motion. Three respondents opposed the
motion. No petitions for review of the ID
were filed.
This action is taken under the
authority of section 337 of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337,
and Commission rule 210.42, 19 CFR
210.42.
By order of the Commission.
Issued: May 26, 2006.
Marilyn R. Abbott,
Secretary to the Commission.
