The following preliminary issues were identified in this report related to the proposed project’s potential effects on the environment: Visual resources; agriculture; air quality; biological, cultural, and geological resources; hazards and hazardous materials; hydrology and water quality; land use and planning; mineral resources; noise; population and housing; public services and utilities; recreation; traffic and transportation; and paleontological resources. Other issues identified are impacts to future forest management projects (e.g., fuel hazard reduction projects and fire fighting strategies). Permits or Licenses Required A 50-year term special use permit for the construction, maintenance, and use of the transmission line would be authorized to Southern California Edison by the Forest Supervisor for the Angeles National Forest for Segments 6 and 11, and a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity would be issued by the California Public Utilities Commission as part of this decision. Additional permits that may be required of Southern California Edison to construct the proposed project could include: A Permit to Operate issued by the South Coast Air Quality Management District, a National VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:34 Sep 06, 2007 Jkt 211001 Pollutant Discharge Elimination System General Construction Permit issued by California’s Regional Water Quality Control Board, a Section 404 Permit (per Section 404 of the Clean Water Act) issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and a Streambed Alteration Agreement ( per Section 1601 of the California Fish and Game Code) issued by the California Department of Fish and Game. Comment Requested This notice of intent initiates the scoping process that guides the development of the EIS/EIR. The Forest Service is seeking public and agency comment on the proposed project to identify major issues to be analyzed in depth and assistance in identifying potential alternatives to be evaluated. Comments received on this notice, including the names and addresses of those who comment, will be considered as part of the public record on this proposed project, and will be available for public inspection. Comments submitted anonymously will be accepted and considered; however, those who submit anonymous comments will not have standing to appeal the subsequent decision under 36 CFR Part 215. Additionally, pursuant to 7 CFR 1.27(d), any person may request the agency to withhold a submission from the public record by showing how the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) permits such confidentiality. Persons requesting such confidentiality should be aware that, under the FOIA, confidentiality may be granted in only very limited circumstances, such as to protect trade secrets. The Forest Service will inform the requester of the agency’s decision regarding the request for confidentiality. Where the request is denied, the agency will return the submission and notify the requester that the comments may be resubmitted, without names and addresses, within a specified number of days. Early Notice of Importance of Public Participation in Subsequent Environmental Review: A draft EIS/EIR will be prepared for comment. The comment period on the draft EIS/EIR 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, that it is important to give reviewers notice of several court rulings related to public participation in the environmental review process. First, reviewers of draft EISs must structure their participation in the environmental review of the proposal so that it is PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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 EIS stage but that are not raised until after 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 45day comment period so that substantive comments and objections are made available to the Forest Service at a time when it is meaningful to consider and respond to comments in the final EIS/ EIR. To assist the Forest Service in identifying and considering issues and concerns on the proposed project, comments on the draft EIS/EIR 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 adequacy of the draft EIS/EIR 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 NEPA at 40 CFR 1503.3 in addressing these points.

(Lilly) located in Carolina, ¨ Mayaguez and Guayama, Puerto Rico. The application was submitted pursuant to the provisions of the Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a– 81u), and the regulations of the Board (15 CFR part 400). The application was filed on August 27, 2007. The Lilly facilities consist of 3 sites on 375 acres in Puerto Rico. Proposed Site 1 (181 acres, buildings totaling 1,303,852 sq. ft, of which 433,860 sq. ft. is devoted to manufacturing) is located at 65th Infantry Road, Km 12.6, in Carolina, Puerto Rico.

The application indicates that Lilly employs approximately 1,490 employees at the sites. Lilly has requested authority to manufacture two pharmaceutical products, Humalog (HTSUS 2937.12) and Duloxetine (HTSUS 2934.99) for the U.S. market and export. Duty rates on the finished products range from dutyfree to 6.5 percent, ad valorem.

The application also requests authority to include a broad range of inputs and finished pharmaceutical products that Lilly may produce under FTZ procedures in the future. New major activity involving these inputs/ products would require review by the FTZ Board. Zone procedures could exempt Lilly from customs duty payments on the foreign components used in export production. On domestic sales, Lilly could defer duty until the products are entered for consumption, and choose the lower duty that applies to the finished product for the foreign components used in production. The company would also realize certain logistical savings related to zone-to-zone transfers and direct delivery procedures, as well as savings on materials that become scrap/waste during manufacturing. The application indicates that FTZ-related savings would help improve Lilly’s international competitiveness. Public comment is invited from interested parties.
