Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 178 / Friday, September 14, 2007 / Notices
provides that the BLM may consider
these lands and resource values in
planning, and prescribes measures to
manage for their wilderness
characteristics. These characteristics
include the appearance of naturalness,
outstanding opportunities for solitude,
and outstanding opportunities for
primitive and unconfined recreation.
The DRMP/EIS analyzed five
alternatives for management of public
lands in the Price Field Office, and
disclosed the impacts of implementing
each alternative. The Price Field Office
Supplemental DRMP/EIS will prescribe
specific actions to manage for the
wilderness characteristics of non-WSA
lands with wilderness characteristics in
a new alternative to ensure that: (1)
Adequate consideration is given to
wilderness characteristics; (2) an
adequate range of alternatives is
considered for these lands; and (3) an
adequate analysis is prepared from
which to base future land use decisions.
Comments, including names and
addresses of respondents, will be
available for public review at the Price
Field Office. Before including your
address, phone number, e-mail address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your personal
identifying information—may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask us in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Copies of the Supplemental DRMP/
EIS are available in the Price Field
Office and on the Internet at the address
provided above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
USIBWC is authorized to construct,
operate, and maintain any project or
works by the United States of America
on the Lower Rio Grande Flood Control
Project (LRGFCP), as authorized by the
Act of the 74th Congress, Sess. I Ch. 561
(H.R. 6453), approved August 19, 1935
(49 Stat. 660), and codified at 22 U.S.C.
277, 277a, 277b, 277c, and Acts
amendatory thereof and supplementary
thereto. The LRGFCP was constructed to
protect urban, suburban, and highly
developed irrigated farmland along the
Rio Grande delta in the United States
and Mexico.
The USIBWC, in cooperation with the
USFWS, prepared this Final EA for the
proposed action of raising the DonnaBrownsville Levee System located in
Hidalgo and Cameron Counties, Texas
to improve flood control. This levee
system is part of the LRGFCP that
extends approximately 180 miles from
˜
the Town of Penitas in south Texas to
the Gulf of Mexico. The DonnaBrownsville Levee extends 65 miles
along the Rio Grande, downstream from
the Donna Pump Station in Hidalgo
County to an area east of Brownsville,
approximately 28 miles upstream of the
Gulf of Mexico, in Cameron County.
The Proposed Action would increase
the flood containment capacity of the
Donna-Brownsville Levee System by
raising elevation of a number of levee

segments to meet a 3-foot freeboard
design criterion for flood protection.
Height increases up to 2 feet are
typically needed to reach the design
freeboard value. The increase in levee
height will result in an expansion to the
levee footprint by lateral extension of
the structure. Structural improvements
may be required for some levee
segments where seepage is a potential
problem.

Commission may also be obtained by

these reviews may be viewed on the
Commission’s electronic docket (EDIS)
at https://edis.usitc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background. On July 6, 2007, the
Commission determined that the
domestic interested party group
response to its notice of institution (72
FR 15726, April 2, 2007) of the subject
five-year reviews was adequate and that
the respondent interested party group
response was inadequate. The
Commission did not find any other
circumstances that would warrant
conducting full reviews. Accordingly,
the Commission determined that it
would conduct expedited reviews
pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the
Act.1 2
Staff report. A staff report containing
information concerning the subject
matter of the reviews will be placed in
the nonpublic record on October 29,
2007, and made available to persons on
the Administrative Protective Order
service list for these reviews. A public
version will be issued thereafter,
pursuant to section 207.62(d)(4) of the
Commission’s rules.
Written submissions. As provided in
section 207.62(d) of the Commission’s
rules, interested parties that are parties
to the reviews and that have provided
individually adequate responses to the
notice of institution,3 and any party
other than an interested party to the
reviews may file written comments with
the Secretary on what determinations
the Commission should reach in the
reviews. Comments are due on or before
November 1, 2007 and may not contain
new factual information. Any person
that is neither a party to the five-year
reviews nor an interested party may
submit a brief written statement (which
shall not contain any new factual
information) pertinent to the reviews by
November 1, 2007. However, should the
Department of Commerce extend the
time limit for its completion of the final
results of its reviews, the deadline for
comments (which may not contain new
1 Commissioner Deanna Tanner Okun voted to
conduct full reviews of all orders due to changes
in the conditions of competition in the U.S. market

2 A record of the Commissioners’ votes, the
Commission’s statement on adequacy, and any
individual Commissioner’s statements will be
available from the Office of the Secretary and at the
Commission’s web site.
3 The Commission has found the responses
submitted by Eramet Marietta, Inc. and Felman
Production, Inc. to be individually adequate.
Comments from other interested parties will not be
accepted (see 19 CFR 207.62(d)(2)).
