Download as PDF 40990 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 138 / Wednesday, July 19, 2006 / Notices Supervisor must decide whether to grant a special use permit to the Ferry County PUD and other providers for utility access. The Forest Supervisor will consider both the impacts as a result of project activities on National Forest Systems lands and rights-of-way, and cumulative impacts off of National Forest System lands, particularly to home owners along National Forest System rights-of-way, in choosing the preferred alternative. The Forest Supervisor must also decide whether or not to amend the Okanogan National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan to implement the project. Permits or Licenses Required Scoping Process Early Notice of Importance of Public Participation in Subsequent Environmental Review Initial scoping on this project was completed Spring of 2005, and a preliminary Environmental Assessment was sent to the public for comment in December 2005. Public participation will continue to be especially important at several points during the analysis. The participation agencies are seeking information, comments, and assistance from Federal, State, local agencies, Native American Tribe and other individuals and organizations who may be interested in or affected by the proposed project. Input submitted during initial scoping, comments received on the preliminary Environmental Assessment and input during this scoping period will be used in preparation of the Draft EIS. The scoping process includes: • Identifying potential issues. • Identifying major issues to be analyzed in depth and identify those that are not significant and can be eliminated from detailed study. • Exploring alternatives to the proposed action. • Identifying potentail environmental effects of this project. • Determining potential cooperating agencies and task assignments. • Notifying interested members of the public of opportunities to participate through personal contacts or written comment. sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES Issues A number of issues were identified in the preliminary Environmental Assessment including effects of fence construction, effects of road construction and reconstruction, effects of heavy mine traffic, effects to wildlife, spread of noxious weeds, cumulative impacts with the mine and borrow site, dust suppression and snow removal chemical on water, effects on residents and Colville Tribal members, and effects on water quality and quantity from the infiltration gallery. VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:28 Jul 18, 2006 Jkt 208001 Upon approval of this proposal, a final plan of operations, road use permit and special use permits for utility companies would be prepared. Comment Opportunity This notice re-initiates the scoping process, which guides development of the EIS. The Forest Service is seeking public and agency comment on the proposed action to determine if any additional issues arise. Additional issues may lead either to other alternatives, or additional mitigation measures and monitoring requirements. A draft EIS will be prepared for comment. Copies will be distributed to interested and affected agencies, organizations, and members of the public for their review and comment. The comment period on the draft EIS will be 45 days from the date the Environmental Protection Agency publishes the notice of availability in the Federal Register. The Forest Service believes, at this early stage, it is important to give reviewers notice of several court rulings related to public participation in the environmental review process. First, reviewers of a draft EIS 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 EIS stage but that are not raised until after the completion of the final EIS 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. v. 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 by the close of the 45 day comment period so that substantive comments and objections are made available to the participating agencies at a time when it can meaningfully consider them and respond to them in the final EIS. To assist the participating agencies in identifying and considering issues and concerns on the proposed action, comments on the draft EIS should be as specific as possible. It is also helpful if comments refer to specific pages or chapters of the draft statement. Comments may also address the PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 adequacy of the draft EIS or the merits of the alternatives formulated and discussed in the statement. Reviewers may wish to refer to the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations for implementing the procedural provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act at 40 CFR 1503.3 in addressing these points. In the final EIS, the Forest Service is required to respond to comments and responses received during the comment period that pertain to the environmental consequences discussed in the draft EIS and applicable laws, regulations, and policies considered in making a decision regarding the proposal. Comments received including the names and addresses of those who comment, will be considered part of the public record on this proposal and will be available for public inspection. The Forest Supervisor for the Okanogan and Wenatchee National Forest will be the responsible official for this EIS and it’s Record of Decision. As the responsible official, the Forest Supervisor will document the decision and reasons for the decision in the Record of Decision. That decision will be subject to Forest Service Appeal Regulations (36 CFR Part 215). Dated: July 10, 2006. James L. Boynton, Forest Supervisor.

Honey from the People’s Republic of China: Final Results and Final Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 71 FR 34893 (June 16, 2006) (Final Results). While the Department did not receive any timely allegations of ministerial errors in the Final Results,1 the Department inadvertently stated an incorrect cash deposit rate for the PRC–wide entity in the ‘‘Cash Deposits’’ section of the notice. The ‘‘Cash Deposits’’ section of the notice incorrectly listed the PRC– wide rate at 183.80 percent. See Final Results, 71 FR at 34895. As explained in the ‘‘Changes Since the Preliminary Results’’ section of the notice, the Department changed the cash deposit rate for the PRC–wide entity from 183.80 percent to 212.39 percent. The Department also indicated in the ‘‘Final Results of the Review’’ section of the notice that the PRC–wide rate was 212.39 percent. Therefore, the Department is correcting item (3) in the ‘‘Cash Deposits’’ section as follows: (3) for all other PRC exporters of subject merchandise which have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate (including Dubao and Eurasia), the cash–deposit rate will be the PRC–wide rate of 212.39 percent. This notice is to serve as a correction to the cash deposit rate listed for the PRC–wide entity in the ‘‘Cash Deposits’’ section.
